The CBS thriller, Person of Interest, will be returning for a fifth season. The Person of Interest season four finale drew in about 8.2 million viewers with a demographic rating of 1.1, one of the lowest ratings for the show.
There is some speculation that season 5 may be the show’s last.
“We’re having those conversations with the team right now,” CBS president Nina Tassler told IGN. “It’s always been a really smart, creative show. If it is the final season, then we’ll have a great ending.”
The show was renewed for a new season back in May, along with a few other CBS programming. The show will not be given the full 22 episodes that are expected of network shows. Instead, Person of Interest will only have 13 episodes. Another clue that this might be the show’s last season?
Here is the synopsis for the upcoming season, according to SpoilerTV.com.
PERSON OF INTEREST is a crime thriller about an ex-CIA agent and a mysterious high-tech billionaire who prevent violent crimes with the help of an all-seeing artificial intelligence, known to them as “The Machine.” John Reese (Jim Caviezel) and Harold Finch (Michael Emerson) have saved countless lives thanks to the omniscience of their supercomputer and their crack team of brave misfits — NYPD detective Lionel Fusco (Kevin Chapman), the unpredictable cyber-hacker Root (Amy Acker) and missing-in-action operative Sameen Shaw (Sarah Shahi) — but a new threat puts their mission in jeopardy and their lives in even more danger. For years, they’ve been protected by The Machine, but as worlds collided and a rival AI known as Samaritan finally cornered The Machine inside the nation’s power grid, it was the POI team’s turn to protect Finch’s creation. In season five, the cold war is over. The world around us might look the same, but something has drastically changed. Samaritan’s lethal “correction” has initiated its control. Finch’s Machine is essentially dead. Shaw is still missing. And the team is once again hiding in plain sight. But with Samaritan’s invisible grip tightening everywhere, will Finch be able to rebuild and resurrect The Machine? And if he does, will it be the same Machine when it comes back online?
It’s still unclear when season 5 of Person of Interest is set to return.
