"Person of Interest" Season 5 will be returning in the small screen and actor Michael Emerson said that the new episodes will be exciting for the fans. He also admitted that the finale for the previous episode surprised him.
In a report by Christian Post, Michael Emerson said in an interview that he did not see the event happening in the season 4 finale until he received the scripts. In the previous season finale, the machine was destroyed and he teased that Season 5 will be exploring the issue.
Emerson said, "Well that'll be the drama of the first part of season 5. We've shot a bunch of material already where that's the issue, because the argument: Did Mr. Finch cripple the Machine, and make it vulnerable to the likes of Samaritan?" He also echoed the sentiments of the fans as he asked if the machine could still be revived, Latin Post reported.
Emerson teased that there is a possibility that the machine will have a new set of core principles and that Root and Mr. Finch will argue about it. Emerson talked about his character Mr. Finch noting that he will become obsessed with the Samaritan and that their mission will become very dangerous as compared to when they first started.
The actor talked about the Samaritan and what to expect in "Person of Interest" Season 5, Yibada reported. He shared, "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."
Just a recap, the previous season ended with Sameen Shaw leaving the Samaritan agents. Greer, o the other hand, took Control as their hostage and the Samaritan agents killed Elias and Dominic.
It was reported that "Person of Interest" season 5 might be the last of the series. Mr. Finch will be more obsessed with the Samaritans and this spells trouble for them in the upcoming episodes. "Person of Interest" Season 5 will be premiering on CBS this September 1.
