SHOWTIME renews Shameless for Season 10

Shameless Season 10 is officially happening. SHOWTIME has picked up the series for another season but what do we know so far?

Just weeks after the show returned with all-new episodes of Season 9, SHOWTIME has opted to renew Shameless for Season 10. It made the list of shows in danger of cancellation for one main reason: Emmy Rossum’s exit. By the looks of things, the network isn’t too worried about Rossum’s exit leading to a loss of viewership.

Very little information about the 10th season is known. Deadline is just breaking the news from the TCAs, sharing that William H. Macy and the rest of the cast will return. Rossum is the only one confirmed to exit at this time. Cameron Monaghan is set to return to the series.

And it’s because the rest of the cast is returning that SHOWTIME doesn’t feel there’s much to worry about. This is an ensemble cast. As much as we love Fiona and there have been a bunch of times we’ve related to her, there are other characters stepping up to fill the void that she will leave.

Now the question is how Rossum will exit the series at the end of Season 9. Right now, she’s struggling with her downward spiral. Is it possible the show will see her leave on a low or will she pick things up and realize she needs to get out of the South Side to be successful? Is it time to get away from some of the bad influences within the family?

The good news is the show has been renewed. This isn’t even a “final season” order, either, so it looks like SHOWTIME thinks there may be more stories to tell. Just today, Netflix ordered Fuller House‘s fifth season, making it clear that it was the final one. Even if Shameless Season 10 is the last, there are plenty of episodes to wrap up the Gallaghers’ storylines.
