House M.D. ran for eight seasons from 2004 to 2012.
The medical drama premiered on Fox on November 16, 2004, and concluded with its eighth season in 2012. The series followed Dr. Gregory House, a brilliant but abrasive diagnostician who led a team at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey.
Its episode count and season count are sometimes confused because the show was broadcast across several television years and included changes to House’s diagnostic team. The eighth season was the final season, ending with the two-part episode “Everybody Dies.”
House M.D. became one of television’s most internationally successful medical dramas. Its long run included major cast changes, evolving relationships, and storylines about addiction, disability, medical ethics, and hospital politics. The series finale resolved House’s apparent death while allowing him to abandon his public life and remain with Wilson.
