Monaghan, who plays the middle child of the Gallagher family, also reflected on how much he’s shared with his cast mates over the past 11 years.
“Thanks for the great memories,” he wrote on his Instagram Story alongside a series of behind-the-scenes shots. “Great friends. Great stories. Great times on set. And 11 of the greatest years of my life.”
News of theshow’s final season was announced in January 2020,which came almost a year-and-a-half after actressEmmy Rossum, who starred as Fiona Gallagher,announced her departureafter nine seasons.
“It’s hard thing to put into words, feelings,” she wrote in a lengthy Facebook post at the time. “But I’m going to try. This business is always an adventure, full of travel and opportunities to tell stories. Usually as an actor, every few months, you travel to a new place, start a new project, build a new character, learn new rhythms, new inside jokes with your crew, make new friends.”

In 2016, Rossum made headlines when she refused to sign on for the Showtime drama’s eighth season unless she was offered more than Macy to make up for the seven years she was paid significantly less. Days later, the Golden Globe-nominated actress and Warner Bros.came to terms on a new contract.
Showrunner John Wells toldEntertainment Weeklyin January 2020 that he would “certainly ask” Rossum to return for the series finale. “She’s very busy and she does a lot of other things. We all love each other and we’ve been through wonderful things together, so I’ll ask her and hopefully, she’ll be available at the time that we do it,” he said at the time.
