The Gallaghers have bonked, boozed, conned, and spewed their way across the south side of Chicago. But, for all their unapologetically bawdy behavior, they’ve always looked out for one another. So it’s with a lump in our throat that we say goodbye to Frank, Debbie, Ian, Lip, and co. as Showtime’s longest-running original drama draws to a close. Below we detail how you can watch Shameless season 11 online and stream the final season from anywhere.
New Shameless season 11 episodes air on Showtime at 9pm ET/PT each Sunday from December 6. Those without a cable package can stream Showtime via Sling TV (opens in new tab) by adding it to their core plan. Alternatively, register directly to Showtime Now (opens in new tab). Both have free trials and special offers available. If you’re abroad, download a VPN (opens in new tab) to access your OTT subscriptions no matter where you are.
*Warning: potential Shameless spoilers ahead*
Adapted from Paul Abbot’s acclaimed UK series, Shameless was rebooted for American audiences in 2011 starring William H. Macy as Frank Gallagher, an unemployed grifter and alcoholic. Despite having sired six children, all of whom live in poverty in Chicago’s Canaryville neighborhood, it’s his eldest daughter Fiona (Emily Rossum) tasked with raising them.
While we were sad to see Rossum leave the show, season 10 saw the younger Gallaghers standing on their own two feet. Ian and Mickey got hitched – even after Terry torched the wedding venue – while Tami decided not to move to Milwaukee but to build a future with Lip instead.
Don’t expect a happily-ever-after just yet though. The final season will have the Gallaghers contend with the coronavirus outbreak and the gentrification of the south side of Chicago, which puts The Alibi Room at risk of closure. Debbie, meanwhile, faces the consequences of her statutory rape conviction.
It may be last orders for the Gallaghers, but they’re going to make a terrifically entertaining spectacle of themselves before they leave. Ready to bid farewell to these loveable reprobates? Then keep reading as we explain how you can watch Shameless season 11 online now.
