Shameless Season 12

While the “Shameless” series said goodbye in 2021 after 10 years of a magnificent journey with 11 seasons, fans are not willing to accept that the eleventh season was the final season of Shameless. “Never say never” are the words of the showrunner, John Wells for you. So, are we going to have Shameless Season 12, or the show be terminated completely? Here we have some important information for you.

It’s more than a decade, fans have been witnessing the ups and downs of the Gallagher family. Over a span of 11 seasons, fans have built a great bonding with the Shameless season. So, it’s hard to accept that the show is terminated. The Shameless series first appeared on January 9, 2011, and the finale episode of the eleventh season aired on April 11, 2021.

The Showtime TV series Shameless portrays the story of Frank Gallagher, an alcoholic father and single dad of six kids. The story reveals how the siblings cope with their alcoholic father and grow up together. Frank made his kids’ lives harder with his alcoholic addiction. However, they learned to survive and become independent with the support of their elder sister, Fiona. Throughout these years, fans observed various cast members grow as adults from kids. So, when Showtime terminated the show with the 11th season in an unexpected way after the death of Frank, it eventually upset the fans.

Will There Be a Shameless Season 12?
