How many seasons did the television series House, M.D. run on Fox?

House, M.D. ran for eight seasons on Fox.

The medical drama premiered in 2004 and concluded in 2012, following Gregory House and his diagnostic team at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. The series maintained its central medical-mystery format while changing supporting characters and hospital leadership over time.

The eight-season run is sometimes confused with the show’s total episode count, which was 177. It is also distinct from Hugh Laurie’s tenure as the title character: Laurie appeared in every season, while several major cast members departed or joined during the run.

House became one of Fox’s most internationally successful scripted series. Its longevity allowed recurring storylines involving House’s addiction, friendships, hospital politics, and the evolving relationships among the doctors to develop across multiple seasons.
