The release date for "Person of Interest" Season 5 remains unknown, as the once speculated spring release date has been pushed back. While several reports claim that the show may be included in CBS' list of summer shows, many fans are becoming even more anxious at the show's future.

"Person of Interest" Season 5 is believed to be the show's last season on CBS (or on TV), as the show failed to secure high ratings from season 4. Add this to the fact that the show's number of episodes has been reduced from 22 to 13 along with recently released spoilers from Carter Matt, which seemingly hint on the show's cancellation.

According to the outlet, the finale episode of 'POI' Season 5 is titled, "Return 0." The outlet further noted that this title is in no way a coincidence, as the said episode title "could be a reference to the conclusion or end of a particular operation." This coincides with rumors that the show's upcoming season may be its last.

Meanwhile, actor Michael Emerson previously shared his thoughts on the show's possible cancellation in an earlier interview with Collider. According to the actor, 'POI' Season 5 will be enough to give some sort of conclusion for fans and viewers, especially after the events from season 4.

With regards to the show's future, Emerson revealed that to him, "it feels like we're coming to the end of something," but remained optimistic that the show will still live on for more seasons.

Do you think "Person of Interest" is coming to an end after Season 5? Should CBS or other networks renew the show for more seasons? Sound off in the comments!
