For starters, we know that Lisa Edelstein will be leaving the show- so people will not have to worry about the whole "Huddy" dynamic weighing the show down (if you felt that way)...
And then there's the small fact that House rammed his car into Cuddy's living room, this will mean he will be spending at least the start of Season 8 in a jail cell.
Today, Deadline reports that Odette Annable will also be joining the cast and will become the only recurring female cast member.
She was most recently seen on Fox's Breaking In (which was cancelled, but could be revived), but luckily for her, and Breaking In fans, there is an option for her to return should the show return.
Prison stints are a popular option for TV shows, and often provide for a multitude of new story lines. My Name is Earl quite notably based most of its third season from the "big house", and it worked largely because of the strong criminal element to the show.
And more recently, Weeds opened its seventh season with its main character in the "slammer".
And House is no stranger to changing up its setting, with the sixth season opening up with House in a psychiatric hospital.
Whether this prison stint and new cast member will serve to revitalise House (which could be seen to be slowing down) and allow it to extend its run for another couple of seasons is anyone's guess.
