Person Of Interest ‘Relevant’ Spinoff Possible? Cast & Crew On The End

by 2 Comments

person of interest cancelled season 6 reboot?

DEADLINE: Are you interested in doing a Person of Interest follow-up?

PLAGEMAN: Look, I think the premise that Jonah came up with in terms of an artificial intelligence that takes in all this information, processes it and gives, you might say, a predictive output in some regard is so strong that there’s no doubt that that could be revived in some sense. I don’t know if it would be with these characters. In Episode 11 this year we understood that the Machine had been providing information to another group of people. So could it be that this show is strong enough that it could come back in a different form? I would say never say never in a world where we’ve seen the X-Files and 24 and a number of really strong premises come back as well.

NOLAN:  We had such a ball making this show that if there is an opportunity to revisit it, in a heartbeat I’d be there.

DEADLINE: The Episode 11 that Greg mentioned, was it envisioned as a potential spinoff?

NOLAN: Definitely not an attempt on our part to do a spinoff. If we were ever going to do a spinoff it would have been with the Control end of things and the relevant side of things which would have been great fun to take a look at three seasons ago. We didn’t want to do a spinoff. We’ve watched friends go through this where it’s like, the series is doing great, spin it off and then you wind up impoverishing both shows. So definitely not an attempt on our part to spin the show off. It was an attempt to answer a big question that’s always been there in terms of what happens to all the numbers that come up outside of New York City and to see that there is this master plan with the Machine in terms of the numbers along the way, everything adding up to something new and different.

TVLINE | Well, between introducing the D.C team of Logan, Joey and Harper, and that final tag of Shaw getting the pay phone call, was either an “escape” clause, a seed to plant in case anyone ever says, “Hey, let’s bring POI back”?
PLAGEMAN | [Laughs] Never say never. I think the premise that Jonah came up with for this show was so bullet-proof in terms of being able to come back and see if an artificial super-intelligence re-emerged… But in terms of those particular scenes, the fun of meeting the other team in D.C. was also an attempt to address one of the ongoing questions of the show. We could now imagine that perhaps The Machine has other operatives person-of-interest-series-finale-shawaround the world.

Stay tuned as we observe the TV afterlife for signs of a Person Of Interest revival/spinoff series…

    I have enjoyed watching Person of Interest even from the very beginning. Even more sorry that the show I loved so much has been taken off the air. CBS has other very uninteresting shows that I personally think should be removed. Dead beats if I my say so. Here’s hoping CBS, that you reconsider the show’s removal. I’m sure that I”m not alone in my thinking It was one of the BEST SHOWS on TV EVER.
