Starz is saying goodbye to Counterpart. Deadline reports the network has cancelled the TV show after two seasons.
The sci-fi drama centers on a low-level bureaucrat, Howard Silk (J.K. Simmons), who toils away in relative obscurity at a United Nations spy outfit based in Berlin, Germany. The cast also includes Olivia Williams, Harry Lloyd, Nicholas Pinnock, Nazanin Boniadi, and Sara Serraiocco.
A Look at the Ratings:
It’s not entirely surprising that Starz has cancelled Counterpart. The series has taken a major dip in the ratings during it second season. So far, the show is earning an average rating of .04 in the 18-49 demo and only 225,00 viewers. That’s a nearly 50% drop in the ratings since season one.
However, while Counterpart won’t continue on Starz, there is still some hope for fans. According to Deadline, the show’s producer is shopping it around to other networks.
What do you think? Have you seen Counterpart? Do you want a third season?
Best show on any site. Intelligent and exciting and new. Need more
Renew Counterpart….its a very interesting show.
Thanks to Amazon prime was able to see this show and will love to see more seasonsssss
Finally SCFY at its best after Fringe, the Americans, The Expense all cancelled and will not be better to have originals instead of old remakes that do not work
I stumbled upon this show via A. Prime, Wow what a surprise! Excellent story telling, acting, and plot twists that i havent seen since the best episodes of 24. Incredible period piece that offer film noir, spy/espionage intrigue romance and action.
This is the best quality streaming show equal to Fargo and almost on par with the greatness of Black Mirror.
It bogles my mind an executive with Amazon won’t finance season 3.
Stumbled onto this show via Prime and was amazed at the detailed story telling and nuanced characters. Rarely do you get a period piece that offers the intrigue, noir and espionage thrill this show offers nowadays. Premise was setup for a 4-9 yr run if given the chance. Lets hope Amazon brings the writers/actors back to flesh out this story line.
It’s a great show… I can understand why they cancelled it. I hope another network picks it up
One of my favorite shows ever
Loved it. Would love to see more.
I just discovered this show on Amazon Prime and absolutely love it! I have always been a fan of “what if I did something just a little different” scenarios and this is the ultimate “what if”. The acting is superb and it is wonderful to see J.K. Simmons in a starring role. He is a gifted actor and he captures the subtle differences of his mirror character so well, there is no confusion which one it is. Hoping for a new season.
The show is amazing. I love the different reflections of the same. I feel that it very much spoke to how I see the country dividing over ideological differences that can be so environmentally based. Watching the two versions of Howard influence each other gave me hope.
Counterpart is an excellent show! Superb cast, writing and the attention to detail is amazing. Should another network pick it up and promote it correctly, I do believe this show would have many years and many followers.
Just finished my third watching of this series, I loved this show. A fine portrait of a glimpse into the many worlds theory. I suppose that there are fewer people across the possibilities of our existence than I thought. Perhaps an introduction to the many worlds theory prior to the start of the first series by a renowned Physicist might have helped. Sad.
Finally, a show that has a good story line and writing. That’s a sure fire recipe for being cancelled. But, hey lets renew shows like the stupid housewives of New York, Atlanta, LA, etc, etc. And Starz wants to have people pay cable for shows they discontinue. Whats left is garbage.
I love Counterpart and am yearning for more! Thought provoking television well played by all actors
My wife and I really loved it and really looked forward to it. Please renew for a third season!
I loved it
