Before the Season 11 finale, Gary Levine, the network’s President of Entertainment, said, “The characters of Shameless have brought Showtime viewers more laughs, tears, and pure enjoyment than any other program in the network’s history.
“[However], we simply felt that 11 seasons was a large, hefty number.”
The moment had come, and we loved the concept of giving John and the rest of the team a chance to finish strong, to be able to shoot for that landing.”

Shameless Season 11 Ending
Fans of Shameless believe that the long-running show hasn’t had a satisfying ending. The series conclusion hasn’t really tied loose ends. A lot of storylines were left open.
After surrendering to complications of COVID-19, Frank died on his own. However, his children were unaware of their father’s death.
Ian and Mickey celebrated their wedding anniversary with other Gallaghers and Kev and V in attendance. Ian and Mickey plan to have babies, but we don’t know whether or not they end up having a family of their own.
Although Kev and V planned to go to Louisville, the viewers were left guessing whether Alibi and Carl join them or not.
In the final episode, Carl’s old lover, Tish, revealed that she was expecting a child. We are still guessing if Carl is the biological father.
In the finale episode, Lip expressed a desire to sell the home. Tami hinted that she could be pregnant again. Debbie’s new girlfriend invites him to accompany her to Texas.
