House M.D. ended its television run in 2012.
The series finale, “Everybody Dies,” aired in May 2012 and completed the show’s eight-season broadcast. The ending followed years of medical cases involving Gregory House, his colleagues, and the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.
The year is sometimes confused with the finale’s production period or with the end of an individual cast member’s storyline. The program premiered in 2004, so its full run lasted across much of the 2000s and into the early 2010s. Fox announced the eighth season as the final season before the concluding episodes aired.
The finale focused heavily on House and James Wilson, whose friendship had been central to the series. Ending in 2012 places House M.D. among the major network dramas that concluded during the early era of serialized prestige television.
