Tonight, USA Network airs the series finale of White Collar and fans could also be seeing the end of Covert Affairs as well. The latter series hasn’t been renewed for a sixth season yet and the show’s dropped way down in the ratings.
On Covert Affairs, operatives Annie Walker (Piper Perabo) and Auggie Anderson (Chris Gorham) work together in the CIA’s Domestic Protection Division (DPD). The show’s cast also includes Kari Matchett, Peter Gallagher, Hill Harper, and Nicholas Bishop.
The fourth season of Covert Affairs averaged 2.27 million viewers with a 0.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic. The current season has been averaging 1.53 million and a 0.3 ratings — a drop of 49% in viewership. It’s USA’s lowest-rated scripted series in the demo.
At this point, it seems likely that USA will renew the show for a sixth and final season, perhaps a short one, to wrap things up. If the cable channel does bring it back, the show may look very different. TV Guide teases that tonight’s finale will feature a death of one character and close calls for some others. This will lead multiple people to making some life-changing decisions.
What do you think? Would you like to see Covert Affairs return for a sixth season or is it time for USA to cancel it?
UPDATE: USA has decided to cancel Covert Affairs after five seasons.
We both LOVE Covert Affairs and have never missed 1 episode! Please bring it back and please bring Auggie back, too!
I love Covert Affairs. Its the only USA series left that I watch. They have cancelled all of shows that I watched. Please renew this series!
I agree with the others viewers that viewership has suffered due to the change in the day that CO airs. RENEW!
We LOVE this show!!!!!! PLEASE bring it back another season, it is one of the top 3 for us.
I love covert affairs! Best show ever!!
This is a great show, please renew ! And I agree , people aren’t watching because 10 on a Thursday is a bad time.
Please renew
True, it should have remained on Tuesdays, The are now competing with ABC Thursday line up. So switch back to Tuesday at 10pm EST.
I do think the show needs to return for a sixth season and give its loyal viewers an opportunity to see how everyone goes their own way-or not. Annie needs to get married find out she is pregnant and then her husband (Nick?) is murdered by one of her past enemies. Auggie should marry Tosha, travel the world find out about Annie and return to console and help her which leads to feelings about their relationship. Joan should take her new position and Arthur should run for senate. Hill Harper’s duties are re-assigned because of the scandal between he and… Read more »
I love covert affairs and Annie walker, want to see it continue!
Please renew
I love Covert Affairs and I love Annie Walker. Please give us a 6th season.
renew please!!!
Renew please — viewership dropped because the network changed nights. Make it at 9 pm Eastern time and move away from Thursday nights. Thursdays are boring nights and people go out.
actually thursday night is the biggest night of the week. you may be bored but the networks own the night with millions upon millions of people tuning in. they fight for that night. so maybe come up with another reason why CO failed. maybe it’s just long in the tooth and they can’t compete.
RENEW! Please
If they go back to the original formula of intrigue rather than kung foo fighting, they should have a very successful 6th season
