As “House” marks its 12th anniversary since the series finale, creator David Shore reflects on the show’s iconic conclusion. The medical drama, which aired from 2004 to 2012, followed the brilliant but troubled Dr. Gregory House, played by Hugh Laurie, and his loyal friend Dr. James Wilson.
Shore, looking back on the finale, expressed continued satisfaction with the way the series wrapped up. The closing moments, where House and Wilson ride off together, remain a fitting and poignant conclusion to their complex relationship. Despite its bittersweet tone, Shore believes it was the right ending for the characters.
In terms of the show’s future, Shore has ruled out the possibility of a revival or reboot. He sees the conclusion as a natural endpoint for House’s journey and feels no need to revisit the story.
From our perspective, “House” ended at just the right moment. Its tragic finale added to its lasting impact, ensuring that the show’s eight seasons continue to captivate audiences to this day.
