Fans of "Person of Interest" are well aware that season 5 may just be the show's final season. Michael Emerson, who plays Harold Finch, explained that there's always a possibility that the show will be picked out by another network or a streaming site but chances are slim.
In an interview with Comic Book Resources, the showrunners shared that they are all very proud of what they have accomplished in "POI." In spite of the 13-episode order from CBS, they all remain optimistic that the show will eventually find a new home.
Emerson hinted that there is a growing interest for the series. He has grown to accept that season 5 may just be their last one for CBS but remained positive that there is still hope for the show given its huge fan base. The actor, however, explained that other networks may be deterred to produce the show given how expensive it was.
In other news, TV Line reported that "Fargo's" Josh Close will have a recurring role in the coming episodes. Showrunner Greg Plageman confirmed the new addition to the cast during the series' 100th episode party.
Although Plageman refused to reveal further details about Close's role, he said that the latter would play a "very interesting" character.
Meanwhile, Kevin Chapman (Lionel Fusco) also encouraged fans to not miss premiere episode of "Person of Interest" season 5. He said that the cast and crew gave everything they got and went above and beyond the expectations of the network for this season.
