When did the House M.D. series finale air?

The House M.D. series finale aired on May 21, 2012. Titled “Everybody Dies,” the episode closes the show's eight-season run and resolves the central question of what House will do after a major personal and professional crisis.

The finale was broadcast by Fox in the United States. Its title deliberately echoes the series' recurring line “Everybody lies” while shifting attention from diagnostic deception to mortality. The episode also uses a reflective structure involving House's memories and relationships, making it more than a conventional patient-of-the-week story.

The date is sometimes confused with the date of the preceding episode or with the show's premiere date in 2004. House M.D. began in November 2004 and ended nearly eight years later. The finale's broadcast date, rather than a production or streaming date, is May 21, 2012.
