House M.D. ran for how many seasons?

The story behind the answer

House M.D. ran for eight seasons. Fox broadcast the medical drama from 2004 until 2012, with Hugh Laurie appearing as Gregory House throughout the series.

Across its eight-season run, the show followed House and changing teams of doctors as they solved rare or complicated cases. The cast and hospital administration evolved over time, but the central focus remained House’s diagnostic reasoning and the consequences of his methods.

The number is sometimes misremembered as seven because Lisa Edelstein left after season seven, or as nine because the show’s final season was preceded by many years of popular episodes. The eighth season was the last, ending with the finale “Everybody Dies,” which aired in May 2012.
