'Person of Interest' Season 5: Is Jim Caviezel, Michael Emerson's 13 Episode "Series Finale?"

Season 5 of Person of Interest will definitely return to CBS sometime in 2016. Should fans worry that the upcoming 13 episodes, featuring John Reese (Jim Caviezel) and Harold Finch (Michael Emerson) will lead to the "series finale?"

In our fourth season finale recap, the war between the Machine and Samaritan left casualties and forged new alliances in its wake. After presumed dead, Sameen Shaw (Sarah Shahi) was last seen walking away willingly with Samaritan's agents. While Samaritan was executing its master plan, Greer's men put a bag over Control (Camryn Manheim)'s head and took her hostage. In the cliff-hanger, as Pink Floyd's Welcome to the Machine started playing, Harold Finch (Michael Emerson) walked out, with no gun, alongside Reese (Caviezel) and Root (Amy Acker) as they started shooting down Samaritan's agents.

As we previously mentioned, during the TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour, CBS president Glenn Geller states, "Person of interest, we ordered 13 episodes. We hope to get them on this spring. Greg [Plageman] and Jonah [Nolan] have planned a terrific season. I can't wait for fans of the show to see it. It'll be a real treat for viewers."

When asked what does "we hope," Geller replied if that meant the show would air sometime in the summer, "We will air Person of Interest this spring," We can only speculate what this means since the final day of spring is Sunday, June 19.

According to TV Line, executive producer J.J. Abrams revealed during the Television Critics Association winter press tour, "My guess is [Season 5] is the final season.The only heartbreak there is how much good story there was to come if it were to have continued."

Should fans expect their favorite season to end this season? The writer/director of Star Wars: The Force Awakens adds that's "the goal. But, obviously, things can be adjusted if [there's] a miraculous [ratings] performance. But I think the idea is that this would be the finale."

Readers, are you sad this is the final season of POI?
