House M.D. broadcast its series finale in 2012.
The final episode, “Everybody Dies,” aired on May 21, 2012, on Fox in the United States. It concluded an eight-season run focused on Gregory House, his diagnostic teams, and the changing relationships around Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.
The finale was preceded by “Swan Song,” a retrospective special that looked back at the series. The concluding story centered on House and James Wilson, whose friendship had been one of the drama’s most consistent relationships. The ending addressed House’s future and Wilson’s terminal illness rather than simply presenting another standalone medical case.
The year can be confused with 2011 because the eighth season began in 2011 and occupied much of the show’s final broadcast period. It can also be confused with the year of the series premiere, 2004. The finale’s exact U.S. broadcast date was May 21, 2012, after the show had completed its full eight-season schedule.
