Person of Interest to “Drop The Mic” For Season 5
When it comes to a show like Person of Interest, it’s never afraid to shake things up, or go incredibly dark to tell a riveting, compelling, and believable story. Or as believable as you can be in a show where a sentient computer has basically taken over the world for the “right” reasons. Last season, the show ended with many shocking developments, and at Comic-Con, the team behind Person of Interest said at their panel (via IGN) that the 13-episode Season 5 will “Drop the mic.”
“We’re going to make 13 kickass episodes, and drop the microphone,” series creator Jonathan Nolan said.
Since it’s impossible to know this early on if the show’s to return for a Season 6, Nolan couldn’t make any solid claims about POI’s future, but he said “I can’t predict down the road but we’re very proud of the show and if it’s the last season, no one is going to be disappointed with the story we tell.”
The team also gave some tidbits about what you can expect from characters like Fusco, Finch, Root, and Reese. Oh, and about Shaw, “You haven’t seen the last of Shaw,” executive producer Denise Thé said.
The fifth season of Person of Interest is set to air for midseason.
