On what date did House M.D. end its original television run?

The story behind the answer

House M.D. ended its original television run on May 21, 2012.

The final episode, “Everybody Dies,” aired on Fox on that date. It followed the two-part series finale, with the preceding episode, “Swan Song,” serving as a retrospective and behind-the-scenes special broadcast alongside the finale period.

The ending revealed that House had faked his death so he could spend time with Wilson, who had terminal thymoma. This allowed House to abandon his public life while preserving his friendship with Wilson.

House M.D. premiered in November 2004 and concluded after eight seasons. The finale’s title references the show’s recurring medical and philosophical themes: despite House’s exceptional diagnostic ability, mortality remains universal.
