'Person of Interest' Season 5 Spoilers: Are Jim Caviezel, Michael Emerson "Obsessed" In 2016?

Season 5 of Person of Interest will return to CBS in 2016. BIn the upcoming 13 episode run, have Harold Finch (Michael Emerson), John Reese (Jim Caviezel), and Root (Amy Acker) "become obsessed" with fighting against Samaritan and defeating the Artificial Intelligence?

As we previously mentioned, the cast and crew of POI conquered San Diego Comic Con for what appeared to be the last time for the show. This was the opportunity for POI cast and crew to finally address the rumors about the upcoming 13 episodes. If this is the last season, showrunner Jonathan Nolan revealed, "I can't predict down the road but we're very proud of the show and if it's the last season, no one is going to be disappointed with the story we tell."

In an interview with Indiewire, Emerson reveals how the war with Samaritan has changed Team Machine, "Samaritan is now an obsession with him. And it's more dangerous. In a way, it's more dangerous than we can even portray on television, because the idea of what Samaritan is and how plausible it is, is hair-raising. I try to hold onto that idea that what they're up against is the end of humankind potentially. Those are high stakes."

In our MStars News Interview, Plageman teased to us about what's in store for Harold Finch, "I think we'd like to explore particularly this season is, what happens when someone, you know, is able to transfer some of that burden to others, but also when something so dramatic happens that there may become a shift in the character that we haven't seen before."

As we mentioned before, there will be a special video presentation for New York Comic Con. On Sunday, October 11, the POI panel will be followed by a Q&A with stars Michael Emerson (Finch), Kevin Chapman (Fusco), Amy Acker (Root), and Sarah Shahi (Shaw), who is confirmed for at least 9 of the 13 episodes.

Readers, are you excited for Season 5 of POI?
