Elsewhere, another actor that viewers can expect to enter the story line will be none other than "Fargo's" Josh Close; however, his character is still unknown for now. Co-showrunner Greg Plageman gave away very little details and teased Close's character to be "very interesting." It is reported that the season is the best one yet, which was strongly agreed by "Person of Interest" actor Kevin Chapman, as he shared, "I honestly can say that Season 5 is the best season we've ever had. The action, the performances, the subject matter…. Everything. They've really gone above and beyond."
As of now, the show is up for a nomination for People's Choice Awards. There isn't any set date for the return of season 5 of "Person of Interest," but it is expected to air on CBS sometime in 2016.
