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?
Please renew Counterpart! Netflix or Amazon
This is an outstanding show. Please pick it up someone!
Please keep this show on!!! I will follow it wherever it goes!!!!
Counterpart is one of the best SciFI shows. No, it isn’t high on special effects, but the story and characters are original. The concept is artfully articulated through 2 seasons, and I will follow it wherever it goes. KEEP THIS SHOW ON THE AIR!
Please please please bring back Counterpart. This is one of my favorite shows! Netflix? Amazon Prime?
We loved it but it still stings.
I love Counterpart. I’ll follow the 3rd season wherever it goes!
Just recently found this show, binged watched it and loved it! Agree with the many comments below. Whoever picks this show up, we will follow it, even if it mean subscribing to another network.
Please continue the show.
Great show! I will purchase whatever network picks up counterpart! Best show I’ve ever seen!
Please please can we have a season 3. One of the best dramas I have seen in ages.
Please please let’s have a season 3. Season two finished on a cliff edge. Must know what happens next. One of the best dramas I have seen in ages.
Low ratings because it got to complicated to keep the worlds and characters apart? Very interesting with historical parallells and great acting. A really big pity if there won’t be a 3rd season.
Totally agree it was to confusing. My husband gave up on it & we are huge J.K. Simmons fans. Would still like another season if they can resolve some of the mysteries.
Absolutely RENEW. Just finished watching the last two episodes of season 2 and was quite disappointed in learning that there may not be a third season.
Hoping that it will be picked by another network.
It was a really original, smart, non-reality show and it’s a shame it was cancelled so soon. Hoping someone picks up for Season 3. J. K. Simmons is wonderful!
