Most Iconic Medical Drama of 21st Century May Come Back: 'Everything's Possible'

House was originally conceived as a medical clone of CSI – a show primarily about rare diseases and unusual methods of detecting them. But as the series progressed, House changed, becoming an excellent psychological drama about a man who can cure almost anyone, but who cannot protect himself from physical and psychological pain, and from the desire to hurt others.

After eight successful seasons on the small screen, House ended in 2012. And now the medical drama is one of those rare cult projects that has not received a prequel, spin-off or reimagining in recent years. But one of the stars of House admitted that it is possible.

House Revival is Still a Possibility

Lisa Edelstein, who played Dr. Lisa Cuddy on the series, has spoken out about the show's revival:

“It’s complicated, but [...] everything's possible. [...] I love that young people are embracing it again. It’s really interesting to me because, culturally, things just keep shifting back and forth.”

Thanks to streaming services, House remains one of the most popular medical dramas more than a decade after its finale – a clear indication of the interest in the project among different generations of viewers.

House is Unlikely to Get a Spin-Off with Its Core Characters

However, if the idea of a House sequel does take shape, it is unlikely that fans will get a reboot with the same main characters as in the original series.

House's ending was tragic: House is under investigation and about to go to prison, his best friend Wilson has cancer and will die in five months, and the once loyal and friendly team of young doctors no longer exists.

House is not happy with the fact that he may be going to jail, and not because he is afraid of losing his freedom – he wants to spend these five months with Wilson. So House fakes his death in order to ride off into the sunset with the terminally ill best friend.

However, there is another theory that House really died and Wilson saw his ghost. The open ending allows viewers to decide for themselves how to interpret what was shown in the last episode.

So, at the very least, it is unlikely that we will see Wilson, beloved by many fans, in the continuation of the story, and in order for Gregory himself to appear in the new project, the creators will have to reveal the long-standing secret and remove the veil of mystery from the House finale.
