Showtime is hopeful for more seasons of Shameless

Entertainment Weekly

“I don’t know what the end point of that show is,” Showtime CEO David Nevins said of Shameless, which was renewed late last year for Season 9. “It’s having its strongest year ever by a long shot. It’s up significantly over last year, so it has grown steadily. A lot of people feel like this was one of its best creative years, too, so as long as it keeps doing that, I’m happy to have them for as long as possible. Shows that show the ability to renew themselves get to stay — if I can afford them.”
