On what date did the House M.D. episode “Everybody Dies” first air?

The House M.D. episode “Everybody Dies” first aired on May 21, 2012.

It was the final episode of the series and was broadcast by Fox in the United States. The episode brought the eight-season story to a close after House faced a crisis that threatened both his freedom and his ability to continue practicing medicine.

The finale’s broadcast date came shortly after “Holding On,” the penultimate episode, which aired on May 14, 2012. That one-week sequence can cause the dates to be swapped in episode lists. The show’s premiere date, November 16, 2004, is another date sometimes incorrectly recalled as the finale date.

“Everybody Dies” also received a major promotional and public farewell because House M.D. had become one of Fox’s signature scripted dramas. Its date therefore marks both the episode’s first broadcast and the end of the original series.
