What is Shameless about?
Shameless follows the story of an alcoholic father, Frank Gallagher, the proud single dad of his six intelligent, industrious, independent kids. The kids' lives have been more complicated because of their father. When Frank's not in the bar spending the little money they have, he passes out on the ground. But, contrary to all expectations, the children were able to grow up with the help of the eldest, Fiona. Maybe they are different from any family you know, but they don't apologize for being exactly what they are.
Created by John Wells, this dramatic humorous series becomes the oldest original scripted series in the history of Showtime. The public received the show well, and fans hoped that it would be renewed for another season, contrary to all expectations.
Will there be season 12 of Shameless?
Showtime announced that the 11th season would be the last season of the popular show.

It has a retrospective look at what happened in previous seasons, which will be broadcast in season 11. It contains new and original scenes juxtaposed to a retrospective look at the trajectory of each character. In some ways, it was the perfect way to connect the show to the end.
