Shameless’s Gallagher family will gear up for one last season, with Showtime’s renewal for an eleventh and final season.
Shameless Season 11 is officially set, marking a monumental swan song for the veteran Showtime series.
The confirmation of Shameless’s final season was made by Showtime Networks President of Entertainment, Gary Levine, at the Television Critics Association’s Winter Press Tour. With the final frame set, the irreverently-embattled working-class dramedy series – which launched on Showtime on January 9, 2011 – is on track to make the decade mark with its eleventh season. While no official release date was provided for Shameless Season 11, the show typically premieres in the fall, meaning that the final season would presumably spill into 2021. Indeed, the currently-running Season 10 – kicked off back in November 2019 – will round the finish line on January 26.

Shameless: The Complete First Season
Stars: William H. Macy, Emmy Rossum, Justin Chatwin, Ethan Cutkosky, Jeremy Allen White, Joan Cusack, Emma Kenney, Cameron Monaghan | Created by John Wells, Paul Abbot
Based on the long-running, award-winning British series of the same name, this Us iteration of Shameless was adapted for American television by John Wells and original UK series creator Paul Abbot and follows Frank Gallagher (Macy) a proud, working-class, patriarch to a motley brood of six smart, spirited and independent kids who would probably be better off without him.
In Frank’s booze-addled view, parenting just eats into his hard-earned, bar-crawling and carousing time – so he leaves it up to eldest daughter Fiona (Rossum) to hold down the fort. Life has appointed her as the unofficial matriarch of the family and she’s fiercely determined to keep her dysfunctional family happy and whole, even if it means sacrificing her own personal needs.

Director Todd Haynes has taken a break from Hollywood to make TV drama Mildred Pierce. He talks to Malcolm MacKenzie about the maleness of movies, casting Kate Winslet – and feeling like a 'bimbo'
As Hollywood increasingly turns to sequels and remakes, television is becoming the place to go for adult storytelling. Todd Haynes, the Oscar-nominated writer/director of Far from Heaven, Velvet Goldmine and I'm Not There, is the latest recruit, directing a five-part adaption of Mildred Pierce, with Kate Winslet, which screens in the UK from this weekend.
Based on James M Cain's 1941 novel, the drama was first broadcast in the Us in March; in its wake will come David Fincher's House of Cards with Kevin Spacey, and Michael Mann's Luck with Dustin Hoffman. Steven Spielberg, meanwhile, is following up his second world war mini-series Band of Brothers and The Pacific with two sci-fi adventures, Terra Nova and Falling Skies.

"Shameless", a new Showtime series based on a U.K. show of the same name, has released its first trailer in anticipation of the January premiere. The series is starring Oscar-nominated actor William H. Macy in the lead role and is coming from the production hand of John Wells ("ER, "Southland") and Paul Abbot ("State of Play", "Touching Evil").
Macy plays a far-from-stellar working class patriarch of an unconventional Chicago brood of six motley kids who keep the home afloat while he's out drinking and carousing. Playing the eldest kid Fiona is Emmy Rossum of "Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera" fame. Some of the other Gallagher siblings are portrayed by Cameron Monaghan, Emma Kenney, Ethan Cutkosky and Jeremy Allen White. Joan Cusack and Justin Chatwin are also in the show.
"Shameless" will premiere on January 9, 2011 back to back with the premiere of Matt LeBlanc's "Episodes" and...

William H. Macy is to bring ''raucous humour'' to the Us version of 'Shameless'. The actor has been confirmed to take the lead alongside Emmy Rossum, who will play his daughter, in the upcoming overseas version of the Channel 4 comedy show - which is about a ''dysfunctional'' working-class family. Producer John Wells said: ''We're remarkably fortunate to get to work with this exceptional cast led by Bill Macy and Emmy Rossum. We can't wait to get started bringing the raucous humour, ribald characters and political incorrectness of Paul Abbot's 'Shameless' to Showtime.'' William will portray a Chicago-born version of the original show's Frank ..
