How many seasons did the television series House M.D. broadcast?

The story behind the answer

The television series House M.D. broadcast eight seasons.

The medical drama premiered on Fox in November 2004 and concluded in May 2012. Across those eight seasons, it followed Dr. Gregory House and several changing teams of physicians at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.

The cast and workplace relationships evolved substantially during the run. House’s original diagnostic team changed, new fellows joined the department, and the series explored House’s addiction, professional conflicts, friendships, and legal and ethical problems. Despite those changes, the central format remained the investigation of rare or puzzling medical cases.

The episode count is sometimes confused with the number of seasons because the show produced well over 150 episodes. In total, House M.D. aired 177 episodes over eight seasons. The final season ended the program rather than leading into a ninth season.
