Who directed the House M.D. series finale, “Everybody Dies”?

David Shore directed the House M.D. series finale, “Everybody Dies.”

The episode aired on May 21, 2012, and concluded the eight-season series. Shore, who created the show, also wrote the finale, making it a particularly direct expression of the series’ central ideas about diagnosis, identity, friendship, and change.

“Everybody Dies” follows the consequences of House’s legal and personal crisis while placing strong emphasis on his relationship with James Wilson. The title echoes the show’s recurring interest in mortality, but the episode is structured as a character conclusion as well as a medical story.

Greg Yaitanes directed many important House episodes, which can make him an easy mix-up. Katie Jacobs was a major executive producer, while Russell Friend was a writer and producer. The specific finale credit belongs to David Shore.
