The final episode of House M.D. aired in the United States in 2012. Titled “Everybody Dies,” the series finale concluded the program’s original Fox broadcast run on May 21, 2012.
The finale centers on Gregory House facing the consequences of a building fire and the possibility of returning to prison. Its story brings together medical, legal, and personal elements that had defined the series, while also focusing on House’s friendship with James Wilson.
The episode’s title echoes the show’s recurring interest in mortality and diagnosis. It also differs from a typical case episode because its main purpose is to resolve the series’ central character relationships and provide a final direction for House.
The year can be confused with the end of production or with earlier season finales. House M.D. had eight seasons, but its final U.S. broadcast occurred in 2012, not in the year the pilot debuted.
