PASADENA, Calif. (AP) --
The wild ride of the Gallagher family on "Shameless" is coming to an end.
The series will air its 11th and final season this summer, Showtime entertainment president Gary Levine said Monday. The debut date was not immediately announced.
"It will be one last hurrah for the Gallaghers and their unique blend of love and lechery," Levine told a TV critics meeting. Producer John Wells and the cast have "promised to take 'Shameless' out with a bang."
William H. Macy stars as the family patriarch who gets by in life just about any way he can, setting a dubious example for his offspring and others in his orbit.
The season 10 finale of "Shameless," which also stars Jeremy Allen White, Ethan Cutkosky and Shanola Hampton, will air Jan. 26.

"We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways," said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content.
Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is "confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people." Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit "would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions" and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
"The Commonwealth would have a better chance of getting around the First Amendment if they alleged that the speech was false or fraudulent," Mosier said. "But when they acknowledge that its truthful that brings it in the heart of the First Amendment."
Meta is facing federal and state lawsuits claiming it knowingly designed features — such as constant notifications and the ability to scroll endlessly — that addict children.
In 2023, 33 states filed a joint lawsuit against the Menlo Park, California-based tech giant claiming that Meta routinely collects data on children under 13 without their parents' consent, in violation of federal law. In addition, states including... Read More
