Starz TV series don’t rule the Nielsen ratings, but since Starz viewers pay for the privilege of watching, the brass only has to worry about pleasing them, not ad buyers. Last year, the Counterpart TV show premiered and wound up ranked fourth out of the network’s original programming. Now that it’s back for a second season, will the audience return or even grow? Will Counterpart be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned. **Status update below.
A Starz sci-fi espionage drama, Counterpart stars J.K. Simmons, Olivia Williams, Harry Lloyd, Nicholas Pinnock, Nazanin Boniadi, and Sara Serraiocco. Exploring themes including identity and fate, the thriller centers on a low-level bureaucrat, Howard Silk (Simmons), who toils away in relative obscurity at a United Nations spy outfit based in Berlin, Germany. After uncovering evidence that his agency is protecting a secret about traveling to a parallel dimension, Howard’s whole life changes. He soon plunges headlong into a strange world fraught with peril and treachery. James Cromwell guest stars in season two as Yanek.

Season Three! Yes!!!!!!
Please make a Season 3. The show is exciting.
One of the best sci-fi series in decades! Forces the viewer to concentrate. Riveting plot. Excellent actors!
We look forward to Counterpart every week, and actually watch it multiple times, both that night and throughout the week to catch different nuances. STARZ you need to keep this level of quality programming going and renew for Season 3, 4 .., however many are needed to complete the tale.
I would be thrilled if this show is renewed. One of my all time faves.
Please renew for season 3. Season 2 has been excellent. Starz, this is your best show.
This is one of the best shows on air. Please Starz, renew for season 3.
It is such an amazing show and so well acted! I really hope they renew it for another season.
Here is one more vote toward a renewal for Season 3!
It’s an excellent series. Please renew for a 3rd season.
A unique and outstanding series…if I had to pick one show to get renewed this year out of all of sci-fi/genre programming, this would be it.
great series. renew
My wife & I find it is one of the most intriguing & suspense series on TV, please don’t cancel it.
It is a tremendous series, but having it on 6 times on a Sunday at varying hours is going to get it cancelled. I don’t know what Starz is doing. This is how Ash vs. The Evil Dead ended up getting cancelled. They had it on 6 different times for each new episode. If it isn’t renewed within the next 2 weeks, it will be cancelled.
keep it’s – awesome
i watch it on demand
