The cast of White Collar got a chance to wrap up their series with a final short season but Covert Affairs won’t get that chance. USA Network has cancelled the series after five seasons, leaving fans with plenty of questions and no season six.
On Covert Affairs, operatives Annie Walker (Piper Perabo) and Auggie Anderson (Chris Gorham) work together in the CIA’s Domestic Protection Division (DPD). The show’s cast also includes Kari Matchett, Peter Gallagher, Hill Harper, and Nicholas Bishop.
The move to abruptly cancel the adventure spy series comes as a bit of a surprise but the decision reportedly all came down to money. USA owns the show but it’s not a cheap show to produce with rising talent fees and expensive location filming around the world.
In addition, the fifth season of Covert Affairs saw a big drop in the ratings — falling nearly 48% in the 18-49 demographic when compared to season four. Total viewership dropped 32%, to 1.54 million.
The final episode aired December 18th. Hopefully the producers will share what Annie’s decisions about her personal and professional life would have been.
What do you think? Do you like the Covert Affairs TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a sixth season instead?
Please bring it back. I didn’t even know that it was here on USA until I found it on Peacock. I never saw an advertisement for the show to know it was here. I LOVE this series. The cost of living goes up for everyone. It is a fact of life; negotiate with the cast and come to a compromise. That is how business is done with all other companies; USA should do the same. Please bring it back.
OH my goodness!!! I just found this on Peacock! It is July 2024 and this started in 2015! GEEZE I was in advertising and I have NEVER heard anything about the show!
I’ve been bin watching. I’m so disappointed on how it ended! If you took out the sex scenes more people would have watched it. I fast forward, but I really liked the plots.
It should be renewed! There are few spy shows of this caliber and it is sad that management won’t renew it!!! Shame on you.
I had to rent season five from the library because I was so interested from season four! Will you please renew this show? It is an absolute best seller! I am not sure why viewership decreased because it is the best show on TV right now!
I am not going to repeat all great things everyone else has said except I dont lnow how I missed knowing about this great show, I just found it a few weeks ago and I am shocked it is cancelled!!!!!!!!!
BRING IT BACK!!!!!! Publicity was not good enough!!!
Publicize more and please bring it back for Season 6 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mixed feelings regarding Covert Affairs. While series is entertaining, adventure-exciting? Not enough reality-based production for my tastes. Translation: More C.I.A. real, less social media-style fluff. Then again Barbie doll-ars are a hit-redo & so so there’s that.
Disclaimer: While Investigation channel I.D./true crime) is a fave? Full of Hollywood over-glam? Facts, rationale still exists via subject matter.
The cancellation of Covert Affairs could very well be the most ignorant decision ever made by USA network. Rising costs are a fact of life, figure out how to deal with it. With basically very little on TV I find myself every evening when I have time to watch TV wanting to put the USA network decision makers in prison for such a horrible error. I’m sure different thoughts came up but one very easy thought would have been to film anything possible in the states that could be made to look like an overseas city.
