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?
Counterpart should have a third season. Since Amazon is now streaming seasons 1 and 2, it would seem logical for them to go with season 3. Of course, Amazon just decided to stop Bosch after season 7 and not have season 8. If would be great the writers and producers could decide when a series was through such as happened with Mash, Seinfeld, and Friends.
We discovered it recently on Amazon Prime and love it!! Great acting and writing. We really wish Amazon would produce a 3rd season like they did for Expanse when it was cancelled by SyFy.
Yes! Season 3 please! So good! Can’t believe I just found it!
We want season 3! My husband and I watched this show together. We loved it!
This show is freaking awesome. Not sure why cable execs are always cancelling shows that are just hitting their stride. I am so disappointed that there will not be a season three. There are so few sci-fi shows that are as intelligent and interesting as Counterpart. Most of what passes for sci-fi today is dumbed down, formulaic, violent and gory. True sci-fi is truth revealed through imaginative story telling, which allows us to learn something about ourselves. I truly hope that some executive somewhere is clever enough to pick this up.
I really enjoyed this series and was bitterly disappointed when it was cancelled. I’m hoping it might still be picked up by someone. I can hope since there’s not a lot of quality programming out there that can capture my imagination.
My husband and I LOVED this show. Please, Please gives us more. Too many other shows that don’t even match up to this series. WE WANT MORE!!!!!
Please we need season 3!!
We need season 3!!!
Great series, bring back a 3rd season. Turned several friends onto the show and they loved it as well.
One of the best spy dramas in the entertainment field in decades! Hate to see it go
