PERSON OF INTEREST: Sarah Shahi and Greg Plageman Preview Shaw’s Season 5 Return

PERSON OF INTEREST has officially pinned down the return of Sarah Shahi’s Shaw.

“Sarah Shahi should be back by episode 5,” PERSON OF INTEREST co-showrunner Greg Plageman shared. “She’s a trooper man, she’s doing a lot. But she’s ready to go, she says I want to be back, and we’re very excited to have her.”

On the show, Shaw went MIA after she sacrificed herself to save Team Machine. Initially, she was presumed dead, but viewers have seen brief glimpses of Shaw — clearly not right — in the months since. (Shaw’s temporary exit was crafted to accommodate Shahi’s real-life pregnancy.)

And though PERSON OF INTEREST isn’t on CBS’ fall schedule, the airdate limbo could serve to bring back Shahi earlier than planned.

PERSON OF INTEREST Post-Mortem: Greg Plageman on Season 5’s ‘Greatest Mystery,’ Rebuilding the Machine, Exploring Backstories, and More

PERSON OF INTEREST closed out its excellent fourth season with a traumatizing — and action-packed — finale, “YHWH.”

For POI co-showrunner Greg Plageman, he got to witness some of the fan reaction to the bloodshed and trauma via the POI writers’ room Twitter account.

“I think [the fans are] simultaneously horrified and engaged,” he laughed. “They know someone is going to die, they don’t know who it is, but they gotta stay engaged. It’s a lot of fun.”

With season 4 now behind us, I spoke with Plageman about what the writers have in store for season 5 — including the “greatest mystery,” if everyone we think is dead will stay dead, Martine’s unseen backstory, and much more…

PERSON OF INTEREST: Taraji P. Henson to Return for Guest Spot

Well, this is freaking delightful: Taraji P. Henson (Carter) will appear in the April 14th episode of PERSON OF INTEREST, a rep for the show confirmed.

In the hour, Reese seeks to close a case Carter was never able to solve, and Henson will appear in flashback. (Carter was killed off in the show’s third season. Henson, of course, is now starring on Fox’s EMPIRE.)

The PERSON OF INTEREST producers had expressed interest in bringing back Carter via flashbacks from the moment the character died. Read more

PERSON OF INTEREST: Amy Acker on the Machine and Samaritan Showdown, and What Comes Next

PERSON OF INTEREST took the Samaritan/Machine war to the next step in the final episode of 2014, as the duo sat down to have a chat (using Root and a small child as their mouthpieces), and then Samaritan set to take out arguably its biggest target: the stock exchange.

With a move that big, the war between the machines can’t stay quiet for much longer. To get a hint of what’s to come, I spoke with PERSON OF INTEREST star Amy Acker (Root) about the fallout from the machines’ showdown, and what the heck comes next…

On the Set of PERSON OF INTEREST: Michael Emerson and Enrico Colantoni Tease ‘The Devil You Know’

Elias has been a frequent foe — and occasional friend — to the PERSON OF INTEREST team, but in this Tuesday’s brand new episode, “The Devil You Know,” he’s going to need their help: Dominic and the Brotherhood have their sights set on Elias.

As Finch and Reese (who were clued in to the problems at the end of the last episode when Elias’ number popped up, again) struggle to help Elias, things get intense — when I was on set, I got to observe an awesome action sequence — as they go up against the Brotherhood.

I spoke with PERSON OF INTEREST star Michael Emerson (Finch) and frequent guest star Enrico Colantoni (Elias) about what fans can expect from “The Devil You Know”…

PERSON OF INTEREST Season 4: Greg Plageman and Jonathan Nolan Tease a Cold War, the Loss of Sanctuary, and More

PERSON OF INTEREST blew things up multiple times in season 3, and now the show is coming back for its fourth season with the team split up: Reese, Finch, Root, and Shaw are off-grid to keep safe from Samaritan, while Fusco has been left behind.

I spoke with PERSON OF INTEREST showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Greg Plageman about the show’s pacing this year, the team losing their sanctuary, the AI’s Cold War, and more. (Though, in an amusing twist of fate, technology did work against us: Nolan lost phone reception a few minutes into the interview, so most of the chat is solely with Plageman.) Keep reading to see what they had to say…

PERSON OF INTEREST: Michael Emerson and Kevin Chapman on the Show’s Future

PERSON OF INTEREST — which is, as far as I’m concerned, one of the best shows on television right now — isn’t a show that plays it safe: the showrunners have been adamant that anyone can die at any time (and they’ve stuck to that), and that this isn’t a show that’s destined to run for 200-plus episodes.

But what do the actors on the show think of all of that? Michael Emerson (Finch) and Kevin Chapman (Fusco) weighed in on the looming threat to their characters’ lives, and why it’s OK if the show doesn’t run 10 seasons…

To give a little tease about what’s to come, PERSON OF INTEREST stars Amy Acker (Root) and Sarah Shahi (Shaw) spoke with reporters about their characters handling their new identities, the tone of season 4, the Root/Shaw relationship, Root’s devotion to the Machine, “another entity that enters the picture for Shaw,” and more…
