The show's executive producer J.J. Abrams has discussed with The Hollywood Reporter about the current state of "Person of Interest" Season 5. Abrams stated, "We don't yet have a schedule, but I know they will see the light of day. People will get to see these episodes. I know the power of that story. Again, to have a show that goes on as many years as that has, it's very hard to complain. It's a miracle to get the show on the air, and to have it last that long is something that we should just be grateful for, but I do love that show and I would've loved to see that continue."
As of now, no official scheduled premiere date for "Person of Interest" Season 5 has been released yet. However, speculations suggest that the show will air around April 2016 on CBS. "Person of Interest" is an American science fiction drama TV series created by Jonathan Nolan.
