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?
A wonderfully entertaining, exciting and intelligent show. Please bring it back
I really enjoyed Counterpart and would like to see a third season!
and I agree that it was poorly promoted. When I mentioned it to friends, they had never heard of it.
Shop it out to YouTube or PBS.
One of the best show ever. Suspense, drama, mystery… it’s a show that actually makes you think. IT’S BEEN GREAT… PLEASE DON’T STOP NOW
Watched both seasons and was looking forward to Season 3. Please don’t leave us hanging! Bring it back!!
Outstanding show. Poorly promoted – only became aware of it after season 1. Excellent acting, great plot, neat vibe. I think it’s the type of show that can build a bigger audience with time.
Love the show. Please renew.
Love the show, please renew!
Being on Starz it did not come to my attention until season 2 and when we did we binge watched both seasons, it was great! please continue it.
Love the show. Please renew it. I don’t watch many series shows. But I really like this one.
Yes Please ! Some network pick up Counterpart for a third season. It is one of the best things on TV since The Wire, Deadwood and the Sopranos.
Counterpart has been one of the best thrillers/drama/sci-fi since Fringe. Somebody please pick it up!
Yes, give us season 3!
Counterpart is absolutely excellent, really top notch storytelling. I really hope it gets at least a 3rd season.
Awww shucks. No third season. Low viewership…. says alot about the dumbsuck public.
