It Is Official - Medium Season 5

We were pretty sure we’d get a 5th season of Medium, but until the official announcement came out…well, networks don’t always do the sensible thing. So, I am delighted to report that Medium will be back next season, although it is once again not scheduled into a fall slot like other shows. Betty gave the heads up that she saw the news on E. I saw it on IF Magazine’s site.  IF Magazine has some lovely things to say about Patricia Arquette and calls Medium reliable.

    Yippee!1 I saw that too, Katelyn, but I didn’t want to steal your thunder. I knew that NBC would renew it. It was just a matter of NBC making it official. Nevertheless, it is fantastic news anyway.

    And I loved what the guy at iF Magazine said about Patricia. That is SO true. It’s just nice to hear that someone else recognizes it too.

  2. Carrie

    UUGG they’re moving it to Sundays! I hate that.

  3. Ben

    Delighted its back but being English, I just have to hope BBC sign it up again now. And season 4 which is probably still a few months away here! Great news.

  4. Lena

    It’s great news!
    NBC will never do this, but wouldn’t it be great to sit in on a Medium Marathon. Back to back episodes Whoohoo!!!

    Ok, back to reality…
    Katelyn or Dawn, do you know if season 5 is the swan song? Should they end it at #5?

  5. nansee

    Yea! I’m so glad to hear we’re getting a fifth season!! :)

  6. Betty

    Hey Mrs nansee, how is it being “Sadie, Sadie, Married Lady?” Ha! Here is your wedding present!

    My fear is that NBC will treat Medium like Las Vegas – announce they are happy with the numbers it is getting in it’s time slot – after moving it around the schedule, abbreviating it’s 4th season, giving it a 5th season that is also abbreviated, and then dumping it with a big cliffhanger.

    I sure hope Medium can continue on to many more seasons – I want to see all of the Dubois girls grow up, graduate, and get married! Ha!

    We need to see Scanlon find happiness (hopefully with someone other than Deputy Doll) and have a kid himself.

    There are many more stories to be told and I will be watching and listening! Hear THAT NBC?!

  7. Betty

    Great, Katelyn, HELP! I’m stuck in the spam filter again!

  8. Lea Petsch

    I love Medium and I am so happy it will be back on, but not on Sundays. I already watch Cold Case, Desprate Housewives and Dexter. I will just have to get another DVR!!!! I love the relationships on Medium, they are so REAL!

  9. Katelyn

    Lea,
    We’re hoping to see Medium move to Monday nights when one of the new shows flops. That usually is what happens.

  10. Manuel

    That’s great news, it’s one of my favourite shows
    because it depicts famly life in a realistic way like no other series I can think of. Besides, the scripts are always good, really looking forward to the next season.

  11. Arika

    Whats the Date its back does anyone know the excat date?

  12. Marcel

    Wow, this is really great news. Im so happy to hear that there will be a 5th season. I cannot wait until it comes out. NBC def. needs to continue with the seasons, and i am most def. the Number 1 fan:)

  13. elasticwaistbandlady

    Just finished the last episode on the Season 4 series set and I’m already sniffing around looking for Season 5 news. :)

    I can never watch Ghost Whisperer again because the reality of Medium has spoiled me so much. What other serious show on TV features a character (Joe) who walks around in boxers and scratches his butt? I also delight in the fact that the DuBois family eats the same exact Kroger generic cereal that my family eats and that they’ve gotten harrassed by creditors while struggling to figure out how to deal with real-life stuff in between the paranormal happenings. Best. Show. Ever.

  14. emily

    i am soooo excited that there is a 5th series of medium, cannot wait but being all the way here in england it will be months before they show it in the uk boo hoo :>(

  15. kim

    I’m excited too, there is some videos of the 5th season on youtube :

  16. Philip Yeoh

    I’m so glad that Season 5 is officially on. Medium has to be my favorite TV series of all time.

  17. emily

    Does anybody know when the 5th series of Medium will be airing in the uk? Im dying to know and can’t see it anywhere!

  18. tjg125

    Truly great news.

    Congratulation Patricia. What a great cast, great writers and great production group. This is truly great news

  19. Linda

    @Emily, There was a little snippet in the Radio Times that season 5 would be shown on the Sci-fi, not the beeb.

    That seems to be the way things are going, I mean House just moved to Sky1, following Lost and 24 that moved from terrestrial to cable and paying tv. Great if you have access to it, not so great if you don’t!

    I don’t see why the BBC would drop it, other than part of their cost cutting ventures. I mean they’ve been airing repeats early Saturday morning of season 1 and 2.

  20. emily

    Thanks Linda, I can’t beleive the BBC would drop it. Fortunatly I do have sky tv so I can watch it on Sci Fi whenever it comes back on, I just hope they show medium season 5 over here soon. Silly decision to drop such a fantastic show. Does this have anything to do with the digital switchover too?

  21. emily

    Thanks Linda, I can’t believe the BBC would drop it. Fortunatly I do have sky tv so I can watch it on Sci Fi whenever it comes back on. Hopefully soon.

  22. Linda

    Emily, I believe so! Maybe.. it’ll come to the BBC after Sci-fi. I doubt it though. I’m sure if they showed Medium earlier as supposed to 11pm-ish, they would get more people watching. I hadn’t heard of Medium until I was channel-hopping one night last year.

    I’ve already seen season 5, not patient enough to wait. I don’t have sky either. Season 4 is out on dvd on Monday, added it my lovefilm account to see if it has extras!

    Probably comes down to money, not the digital switchover. My region switches in November.

    If I do read about its return, I’ll be sure to comment here! :)

  23. emily

    Thanks again, how did u manage to watch season 5 already? Is it as good as all the other seasons?

  24. Linda

    I watched it online *coughs*, now that my computer is fast enough to handle it.

    I enjoyed it, definitely glad we’re getting a sixth season!

  25. Louise

    I just spoke to SCI FI and apparently they have no plans to show Medium season 5! Leaves me wondering if people in the UK will even get to see the next series!

  26. Linda

    According to an article on Digital Spy (main tv page), it’s been poached by Living. They’ll show it from September.

    As I don’t have Sky, I know nothing about Living and whether that’s a good move or not. I guess one major difference will be adverts.

    But, yay, for confirmation!

  27. emily

    Thanks again Linda, I have sky so I really hope they do show it on there or any other channel I don’t mind Im just praying it doesnt get cancelled. Theres a rumour theres going to be a season 6. There always repeating them on sci fi throughout the week so i can’t understand why sci fi will not be showing season 5. Living is a good channel they show things like ghost whisperer, charmed, CSI that kind of thing.

  28. Linda

    Well, it’s been shown in Ireland, so we’ll probably get a dvd release sometime around this time next year going by season four’s release.

    There’s definitely a season 6. It’s starting in September this year with 22 episodes supposedly as opposed to the 16 and 19 and January start in past seasons. YAY!

    I guess I’ll obtain it through other means, I don’t like doing that, but least I have an excuse now.

    What do you like about the show? I really started watching for the family aspect and the fact it was a little different. I mean I watch nothing else paranormal,so it’s defintely the realistic, relatable family portrayal that keeps me interested. And who wouldn’t want their very own Joe Dubois!

  29. emily

    I hope so I have seasons 2 and 3 at the min need to get seasons 1 and 4 now and then eventually 5 and 6 yay! I started watching it about this time last year, Im really into my horror films always have been, I was channel hopping one night and I caught the episode where neve campbell was guest starring in it ( and Im a huge fan of hers anyway) so I started watchin it and just got really into it. Ever since then Ive just been watchin them loads. And like you I like the family aspect of it too and the way you are always trying to solve the ending but never can! or at least I never can.

  30. Linda

    Cool, I just got season two, the region one version for a bit of a bargain! I wanted the extras! I don’t really watch horror at all – such a wimp, there’s a few bits in season 5 that totally creeped me out!

    I’m really slow to catch on too, hee!

  31. emily

    cool, now I definatley cannot wait to watch season 5! Im so impatient. Let me know if you manage to get a peak at season 6 before that gets shown over here too thankyou for keepin me posted Linda

  32. Linda

    Living is starting repeats on the 8th August. They’ve got four on one night.

    I’ll let you know as soon as I notice in my tv guide an actual date for the new season!

    I saw the latest CBS promo for season 6, I wouldn’t recommend you watch it because season 5 ended on a cliffhanger and it totally talks about it and would spoil season 5 for you!

  33. emily

    Have they filmed season 6 already? gosh that was fast! Ill not watch it then so that it doesn’t ruin it.
    Youll have to get sky now so that u can watch it too lol

  34. Linda

    They just started filming season 6 this month. With it switching channels, I think we might see more promos. Just wait until you see Little Marie in season 5, she’s so adorable!

    In my google alerts tonight, there were a couple of articles about Medium being picked up by Living for both 5 and 6. Supposedly, it will be repeated on virgin1 channel. I have that on freeview somewhere so maybe i will get to watch it on a tv too eventually. Watching things on my computer isn’t quite the same.

  35. Linda

    Emily, 4th September. Season 5 starts Living with a double bill, so according to radio times online schedule.

    I think that’s the tv guides in the magazines out tomorrow.

  36. giboia

    Adorei os 19 episodios da 5 temporada.
    Acaba com um sabor de quero mais logo. Pois tem continuaçao na 6 temporada.
    Love all 19 episodes. I want more the soonest.

  37. emily

    hiya Linda I have been watching it lol. its fab so far im really into it. Can’t wait for season 6 now i read it had been picked up again !

  38. Linda

    What did they show tonight? the fourth one? I know they did a double bill the first week so I’m not sure how many episodes you’ve seen!

    I’m glad you are still enjoying, anyway. I’m staying up to watch the late light repeat on two, well I was primarily for the programme before, but it’s the valentine’s day episode!

  39. emily

    oh thats a good one! where she gets posessed? yeh episode 4 i watched last night, where she wakes up in a dark alley way and thinks shes committed a murder. I get a new telly on wed so will be able to see it all in 37 ” instead of 32 lol. Im going to go and buy season 4 soon just waitin till it comes down in price. I hear theres a lot of guest stars in this season

  40. Linda

    Yep, the one where she wakes up as someone else. Got to really feel for poor Joe that episode.

    I liked that one, the hand bit was a bit grizzly! That’s the one with out of order Ariel driving too?

    Actually, season 4 is quite cheap on the web right now, just over a tenner!

    Some interesting guest stars and a few to be continued!

  41. emily

    what website do I go on to get it? originally it was £30 last I looked but i know they always come down in price once they have been out for a bit.

    I hear Rumer Willis is meant to be a guest star soon, and yes the cut off hand was very cringey! lol

  42. Linda

    Either amazon or play, free delivery on both, one was a penny cheaper. Good bargain in my personal opinion.

    Rumer Willis isn’t until the latter episodes of season so you’ve a while to wait until her episode.

    Agent Cooper returns again soon if you like those episodes.

  43. emily

    yeh agent cooper is a great character and i think hes back this week on friday! last weels ep was really good ‘a taste of her own medicine’ had the box of tissues at the end where lee came to the party and gave lynn a big hug. bless them and Joe came at the end for Allison was so sweet!
    I shall have a look on play.com for season 4

  44. Linda

    Yep, wasn’t Marie just the cutest, not wanting her mommy to sleep alone.

    The sleep deprivation issue cracked me up. I mean after all these years. I wouldn’t mind some of that magic time Joe Dubois seems to find to be, not only a great husband and father, but also look the way he does!

    My tv magazine actually had a picture of Blythe Danner, two weeks in five they highlighted Medium!

  45. emily

    hiya Linda seen all of season 5 now loved it but how sad at the end ive been goin on you tube to get sneaky peeks at season 6 so i have some idea of what happens! can’t wait!
