Not long after the launch date for Person of Interest season 5 was confirmed, it was revealed that it would be the series’ final season. Given that season 5 could be the series finale, writers and producers were able to craft an appropriate conclusion for the series. But why did it have to finish there?
Why was Person Of Interest Season 6 Cancelled?
Person of Interest was unquestionably a success for CBS, garnering well over 10 million viewers in each of its first three seasons alone. After season 3, the audience dropped to 8-10 million viewers. The show’s season 4 ratings were insufficient to justify its cancellation, therefore the announcement that it would be canceled came as a surprise to viewers.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Les Moonves, who was the CEO of CBS at the time, detailed what happened with Person of Interest. In this case, Warner Bros. controlled the series, and as Moonves has stated, owning shows is extremely crucial when it comes to maximizing profits. It has been suggested that CBS did not make as much money from Person of Interest as they would have liked because a large portion of the advertising revenue went to Warner Bros.
If CBS had owned 100 percent of Person of Interest, they would have had complete control over the show’s earnings, and there’s a reasonable likelihood that the show would have been renewed for at least another season, if not longer.

Person Of Interest Season 6 – Expected Cast
Some of the main cast members who appear in the series’ wide and large casting members include Jim Caviezel as John Reese, Michael Emerson as Harold Finch, Taraji P. Henson as Joss Carter, Kevin Chapman as Lionel Fusco, Amy Acker as Root, and Sarah Shahi as Sameen Shaw. Jim Caviezel is best known for his role as John Reese. A large number of actors are involved in recurring roles and characters such as the government, the NYPD, human resources, the mob, the CIA, Decima Technologies, and the Brotherhood.
Because the eighth season of the series is not going to happen, we can expect any of the cast members to either return or reprise their roles. If we want to see our favorite actors and actresses reprise their roles, we’ll have to wait until we hear some sort of official announcement from the production company and casting directors.
Person Of Interest Season 6 Plot – Expected
The series centers on Harold Finch, a mysterious and reclusive billionaire software engineer who has developed a computer program for the central government known as “the Machine.” The Machine is capable of gathering all sources of data in order to predict psychological oppressor acts and to identify the individuals who are orchestrating them. Although the Machine is also capable of identifying the perpetrators and victims of other planned lethal violations, because the public authority considers this information “immaterial,” Finch has programmed the Machine to erase this information every evening.

Having foreshadowed the mistreatment of his creation and being tortured by the possibility of its demise, Finch limited its correspondence to the arrangement of a small snippet of data, the government managed retirement quantities, and the exploration of “persons of interest,” who may be casualties, perpetrators, or guiltless spectators in a deadly occasion, and projects the Machine to inform him clandestinely of the “unessential” numbers. The first scene depicts how Finch enlisted John Reese – a former Green Beret and CIA agent who is now presumed dead – to conduct research on the individual identified by the number the Machine has provided and to act in a similar manner to that individual. Others will eventually join the group in the long run.
Season 5 was written with the knowledge that it would be the final season, and as a result, the writers and producers delivered a clean conclusion that tied up all the loose ends and lingering events.
Is There Any Hope Of Returning The Show With Season 6?
The fans may have had the opportunity to see the series’ sixth season if CBS had retained 100 percent ownership of the series, on the off chance that it had done so in the past. However, unfortunately, it is unlikely that this will happen.

Season 6 of People of Interest will only be possible if the series is picked up by another broadcasting company and made available for viewing in the future. If this occurs, it is highly likely that we will see season 6 sometime in 2022; however, nothing is certain at this time, and if we receive any official news, we will notify you as soon as possible.
