How many seasons did House M.D. run on television?

House M.D. ran for eight seasons on television.

The medical drama began in 2004 and concluded in 2012 after eight seasons and 177 broadcast episodes. Hugh Laurie starred as Gregory House throughout the series, with the supporting cast changing over time as doctors joined or left House’s diagnostic department.

The eight-season run includes several major phases: House’s original team, the competition to rebuild his department after the third season, his personal and professional crises, and the final season’s focus on his relationship with Dominika Petrova and his changing circumstances at the hospital. The series finale, “Everybody Dies,” aired in May 2012.

Season count can be confused with episode count. Eight is the number of seasons, not the number of episodes. The series also had international broadcasts and differently packaged episode listings, but its standard United States run is consistently described as eight seasons.
