The 13 episodes of 'Person of Interest' season 5 will probably serve as a series finale. Cast and crew of the CBS TV series reveal that the upcoming season is going to be straight forward. When it premieres, there will be major changes for Machine, as Finch and Root bring it back to life. But its evolution will leave them in wonder. Also, Root has to choose between Shaw or the Machine.

Fans were pretty much happy that when CBS has officially renewed its sci-fi crime drama series 'Person of Interest' for fifth season. But there was sadness when fans have learned that the network has ordered a 13 episode, unlike the 22 episode order last season. The speculations then swoop in that the upcoming season may serve as the series finale.

As of this moment, no one knew if the rumors are true or not. In fact, the show creator and executive producer Jonathan Nolan does not know if it will be the end. During the Comic con, Nolan says no matter what the decision of the network, the upcoming 13 episode will be pretty exciting and the whole season will feel like the end, according to CrossMap.

It was also learned that 'Person of Interest' season 5 will focus on how the show's two master class hackers will reincarnate the Machine. Io9 reports that the Machine is sure to evolve next season. And this development will make Finch and Root in despair, as they have to figure out how to make that evolution happen.

In an interview, star Amy Acker, who plays Root, said that her character is torn between the Machine and Shaw. She added, "That's been a struggle because they are both priorities to her. At the end of last year, she ultimately had to decide that if she didn't do everything to save the Machine, there's no purpose to saving Shaw. That's kind of what point we're at: Without the Machine, there's no happiness in the world anyway."

Speaking of Shaw, the show's writers also teased that viewers have not seen the last of her. And Bear will definitely survive, which only proves that 'Person of Interest' Season 5 will be as beautiful as a series finale.
