"House showrunner David Shore has admitted that the programme&amp;#039;s future is uncertain. Fox president Kevin Reilly recently indicated that the long-running medical drama may not return for a ninth season next year. &amp;quot;I think the show itself potentially has life left in it,&amp;quot; Shore told TV Guide. &amp;quot;But I think a lot of that will depend on a lot of things.&amp;quot; He added that &amp;quot;there is a chance&amp;quot; that House could conclude after the upcoming eighth season. &amp;quot;Everybody&amp;#039;s hoping it&amp;#039;s not [the final season], but if it is, we want to do it right,&amp;quot; he said. Shore also confirmed that he has begun thinking of ways to end House if the series is indeed axed. &amp;quot;To some extent [I&amp;#039;m thinking about that], yes,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;But it&amp;#039;s clearly a contingency right now.&amp;quot; He continued: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m tired of the [showrunner] job [but] I&amp;#039;m not tired of [House&amp;#039;s] character.&amp;quot; Shore has revealed that House will be &amp;quot;going back to basics&amp;quot; in season eight, with less of a focus on the central character&amp;#039;s love life. House will return to Fox on October 3. &amp;gt; House exec: &amp;#039;Cuddy exit won&amp;#039;t be big story&amp;#039; Watch the final scene from the House seventh season finale below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
