Following the fourth season finale on Sunday, Showtime has officially handed a fifth season renewal to dark comedy House of Lies starring Don Cheadle and Kristen Bell. However, the fifth season will only be 10 episodes - down 2 from the series' previous four seasons. The new episodes will debut in 2016.
"When you have a gifted acting ensemble led by Don Cheadle and smart, acerbic writing led by showrunner Matthew Carnahan, you expect something special, and House of Lies delivers for us each season," said Gary Levine, Executive Vice President, Original Programming, Showtime.
The cast includes Don Cheadle, Kristen Bell, Ben Schwartz, Josh Lawson, Dawn Olivieri, Donis Leonard Jr. and Glynn Turman.
Based on the book House of Lies: How Management Consultants Steal Your Watch and Tell You the Time by Martin Kihn, House of Lies is created and executive produced by Matthew Carnahan. Additional executive producers include Cheadle, Jessika Borsiczky and David Walpert.
