Season 12 of the show was shortly announced as the finale season of the popular series. “It’s the last call, and the Gallaghers are going out with a bang unlike any other band has ever done,” the official performance description claimed.

On the other hand, Showtime has launched Shameless Hall of Shame, a six-episode limited series that would replace season 12 of the show. Season 11 will be a retrospective of previous seasons.

It features both new and original Shameless moments as well as a retrospective on each character’s existence. In conclusion, it was an excellent approach to bring the series to a close as it neared its conclusion.

According to Gary Levine, the network’s President of Entertainment, Shameless has brought Showtime viewers more laughter, tears, and pure joy than any other show in the network’s history.

Showtime will premiere the final season of the show this September. “However, we thought 11 seasons was a very huge and significant amount.” The time has come, and we loved the idea of allowing John and the rest of the squad to finish strong and go for the landing.

Is FIONA a part of SEASON 11?

The final season of Shameless does not feature Fiona.

Fiona Gallagher, the family’s eldest sibling and guardian, left the show at the ninth season finale. Fiona and Emmy Rossum were on the verge of returning for the last season, when the pandemic intervened.

Fiona had a difficult time in Season 9 before getting her life back on track. Fiona resolved to do something for herself after selling her part in the South Side Gentrification property for $100,000 and Lip’s attendance at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.
