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?
Looking forward to season 3 – well acted and the tension build and plot twists are refined.
Great show! Really enjoyed the twists and turns the plot takes. Looking forward to watching Howard and Emily continue their journey.
superb show, please continue
I really enjoyed both series of Counterpart, i would like to watch many more seasons. The story has a lot of potential for further development and the acting is superb. please, continue
Finally a show that was not like everything else out there. With all that is looked for in a Suspense. Keeping you on the edge of your seat. Someone needs to pick this up.
I was very surprised that Counterpart was cancelled. Finally something that was not like everything else that is being shown. Was getting board with many of the other shows. Someone else please pick up this series.
Yes, please! Another network needs to pick up this great series!
Yes, please, some other network pick up Counterpart! It is such a great series!
If anything maybe CBS All Access could/should consider it. I have my reasons.
Need a season 3!!! Such a good show!!! Hope that it gets picked up!!!
Yes! Hoping it’s picked up by another network!
Love Counterpart. I will definitely follow it if it gets picked up elsewhere (fingers crossed).
Counterpart is awesome. Netflix or Amazon, please don’t let it die!
Counterpart is an excellent show. I’ve seen both seasons and would enjoy a third season.
I have not yet watched Season 2, so I suppose I was contributing to the low ratings, but I LOVED SEASON ONE! It was basically JK Simmons putting on a master acting class, using a good story and clever directing. I would absolutely be interested in watching Season 3, 4, 5, etc. as long as they can keep the storytelling fresh.
