Season 5
From executive producers Paul Attanasio, Katie Jacobs, David Shore and Bryan Singer comes the third season of House, where an irreverent, controversial doctor who trusts no one, least of all his patients, continues to make waves in his chosen profession...
Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie), devoid of bedside manner and dealing with his own constant physical pain, uses a cane that seems to punctuate his acerbic, brutally honest demeanour.
His behaviour often borders on antisocial, but House is a brilliant diagnostician whose unconventional thinking and flawless instincts afford him a great deal of respect.
An infectious disease specialist, he thrives on the challenge of solving medical puzzles in order to save lives.
House shepherds an elite team of young experts who help him unravel diagnostic mysteries: plastic surgeon Dr. Chris Taub (Peter Jacobson); enigmatic "contestant" number Thirteen, Dr. Remy Hadley (Olivia Wilde); and enthusiastic, radical-thinking Dr. Lawrence Kutner (Kal Penn).
He has a good friend and confidante in oncology specialist Dr. James Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard), but House maintains a somewhat volatile relationship with Dr. Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein), the Dean of Medicine and hospital administrator.
Though the two are engaged in constant conflict over House's duties and unconventional behaviour, even she would admit that his brilliance is worth the trouble.
Neurologist Dr. Eric Foreman (Omar Epps) serves as Cuddy's eyes and ears on House.
Immunologist Dr. Allison Cameron (Jennifer Morrison) and intensivist Dr. Robert Chase (Jesse Spencer) are former members of House's team and no longer have to answer to him now that Cameron heads up Emergency Medicine and Chase works in Surgery at Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.
Currently in Season 5 - with more than 100 episodes produced - House and Wilson have repaired their friendship in the aftermath of Amber's death, Cuddy is fulfilling her dream of motherhood after adopting an infant girl, Foreman has started a relationship with Thirteen who continues to battle the deadly Huntington's disease that threatens to shorten her lifespan dramatically, while House and Cuddy continue to determine exactly what type of relationship they share - if any.
House is from Heel and Toe Films, Shore Z Productions and Bad Hat Harry Productions in association with Universal Television.
Katie Jacobs, David Shore, Paul Attanasio, Bryan Singer, Russel Friend, Garrett Lerner, Thomas L. Moran, Peter Blake, Greg Yaitanes and Hugh Laurie are executive producers.
