Series Eleven is the final series of Shameless. The series had a run of 14 episodes[2] and began airing Tuesday 26 February, 2013 at 10PM on Channel 4[3] after ending filming in January. A selection of past characters returned for the finale including Jody Latham as Lip Gallagher, Anne-Marie Duff as Fiona Gallagher as well as others detailed below.

Overview[]

Despite being the final series, Series 11 saw the introduction of some new characters as Jamie Maguire discovers he is not a full Maguire and introduces the Chatsworth to his Muslim half brother Kassi and his Jewish culinary obsessed wife Esther who arrive with their three children, Tam, Thalia and Saul.

Mimi made saving the local school her personal mission while Frank climbed the employment ladder as the janitor at "St. Mimi's" School and got caught up with the Gastric Bandits - a prostitute two-some known as Sherilee and Derilee.

Fresh from the end of her marriage, Avril was forced to move in with her overbearing sister Patreesha and niece Mare Mae . Chesney expanded Chesco even more by adding a chemist section, run by 'white Muslim atom bomb on a timer' Remona.

And Lip Gallagher returned to the Chatsworth for the first time since leaving in Series 5, only to show that nothing has changed between him and Frank.

Series 11's New Intro

Frank's Intro Speech[]

Look at me, right, and look at the queen. I was never a fan, until it occurred to me how much me and "Mom" have in common -- bringing up kiddies you can't remember the names of.

I know she's not a single parent but she might as well be. Plus, the pair of us, we stuck to our guns --  her literally sometimes -- and flagshipped a dying breed. Admired and despised equally -- not for never lifting a finger, no -- for setting examples through extremity. And whether you're a bigwig on her end, or a bigwig on mine, you still got all your dickheads in the middle to deal with -- snip, snip, snipping at your benefits.

I mean, she can't not be looking at me and thinking, "what's your secret, Frank?" I got shot of my kids yonks back, whereas she's yet to see the back of a single one.

Aye, I've had to get out of bed on occasion to make ends meet, whereas she, she's done the whole thing from a chair. (Oh, and a drink for the lady.) (Oh sure, there's perks.)

But look at her lot -- Brian May prancing about on her roof. Now, look at my lot. We know how to throw a proper fucking party!
