In the past, new seasons have always been available on Netflix six months after they aired in the United States.

Given that the final episode of ‘Shameless‘ Season 11 aired on April 11, 2021, fans expected the eleventh and final season of this Showtime classic to premiere in October 2021 on Netflix.

However, subscribers in the UK are still waiting for the final instalment (Unless you have a VPN, in which case you can stream US Netflix in the U.K.).

The good news is that Shameless season 11 will stream on Netflix UK on September 1st 2022.

First Season

The first season of Shameless aired on January 9, 2011 and continued to March of the same year. 140 episodes were broadcast throughout the series, which concluded on April 11, 2021.

The original British series ran from 2004 until it finally wrapped in 2013. That show spanned 139 episodes and launched the career of Hollywood A-lister James McAvoy (Split).

The British version also starred Maxine Peake (Peterloo) and Anne-Marie Duff (Sex Education).
