Recently, Showtime has renewed the fifth season of "Shameless". Emmy Rossum, who plays the eldest sister in the show, talked about her character Fiona in the fifth season in an interview: "Her life will get worse and worse, but when it will get better is still unknown, maybe never. This drama is adapted from the British TV series of the same name, produced by the American Showtime TV network, and directed by the original British creator Paul Abbott. The American version did not make major changes to the original characters, and the homosexuality of the third child Ian was also retained, but the American version has developed a different plot from the British version.
