Though the show’s ratings are very low, The CW has renewed Nikita for a fourth season. Word is that it will be a shorter season than usual — likely between six and 10 episodes.
Starring Maggie Q, Nikita has been averaging a 0.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.15 million viewers. That’s way down from last year’s 0.5 rating and 1.54 million averages.
Still, Nikita is relatively close to having enough episodes for syndication. At the end of season three, there will be 67 installments and a shortened fourth season won’t bring it to the 88 episode mark (a number considered to be the minimum for syndication).
Other genre shows have done just fine though with a lesser number (the original Star Trek’s 79 installments come to mind) and Nikita has a small cult following and is popular on services like Hulu. At the very least, a fourth season will allow the cast and crew to give the show a proper series finale if this is actually the last season.
What do you think? Are you glad that Nikita is coming back? How many episodes should they make?
Nikita is a great show. The characters are superb and the writing outstanding!!!!
Would really like to see them bring back the show again .I really liked it alot.
My son and I have watched Nimitz from the very beginning. We would be very disappointed for the series to end. There are so many shows that we could watch, but we watch Nimitz instead. We look forward to seeing more episodes for years to come.
Thank You
I think we need to see Michael and Nikita married and Amanda dead. I agree that Alex should have Sean. I still cannot believe he was killed off. The show is so close to ending they should have kept him around. I wanted Alex to be happy with him.
I am one of those fans you speak about when you say this Show has a Cult following. I’ve watched from the very beginning and cannot conceive of this Show ending until 1) Michael & Nikita are finally married 2) That Amanda ***** is finally killed, hopefully slowly by Alexandra, 3) There is once and for all no more black boxes hiding in various secret places on the planet 4) Allow me to back track a second? Did the guy Alex was in love with get murdered by Amanda? If not, the two of them deserve to be together and… Read more »
Please bring back Nikita I love this show & you can’t just leave us hanging with what happened between Michael & Nikita. We ALL deserve to have a finale at least. Hopefully even LOTS of episodes would be even better. THANKS!
Love the characters of Nikita. Love the storyline and believe more episodes could be written with so many twists and turns leaving viewers wanting more.
I love nikkita can’t get enough of the show leaving me wanted more. I can’t believed that the show may not return are they crazy or what. I normally don’t watch a lot of regular television but, Nikita I just love that show one of the most entertainment on t.v. and they are going to take it off. This is just nonesense. What can we do to get it back on. I can watch this all day long and never get tired of it.

I have watched the entire Season 1, and am so addicted, I can’t wait to watch Seasons 2 and 3, which are split between my puny Comcast DVR, and my computer’s hard drive in 720p and 1080p downloads from Usenet, which FOX has been having removed within hours after they are posted. They are stupid for doing that, I pay $225 a month for Comcast subscription with the smallest DVR of any Satellite or Cable provider in the U.S. (I only have 1 HDTV and 1 Desktop computer, no laptops or tablets), and ONDemand programming which removes episodes from viewability… Read more »
