Deadline reports that FOX will decide whether or not season 8 of House is the last season in late November/December 2011. So far, all signs point to yes, but nothing is set in stone.
As of December, the first 8-9 episodes of season 8 will have aired, the writers will probably have written 17-18 episodes (assuming season 8 will have 22 episodes) and it is likely 13-14 episodes will have been shot. It would leave the writers approximately 4-5 episodes to come up with a decent series finale.
Season 8 of House will premiere on Monday, October 3rd at 9pm on FOX.
