The cast of White Collar got a chance to wrap up their series with a final short season but Covert Affairs won’t get that chance. USA Network has cancelled the series after five seasons, leaving fans with plenty of questions and no season six.
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 move to abruptly cancel the adventure spy series comes as a bit of a surprise but the decision reportedly all came down to money. USA owns the show but it’s not a cheap show to produce with rising talent fees and expensive location filming around the world.
In addition, the fifth season of Covert Affairs saw a big drop in the ratings — falling nearly 48% in the 18-49 demographic when compared to season four. Total viewership dropped 32%, to 1.54 million.
The final episode aired December 18th. Hopefully the producers will share what Annie’s decisions about her personal and professional life would have been.
What do you think? Do you like the Covert Affairs TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a sixth season instead?
One of the very best shows I have seen and am really disappointed that there has been no Season 6!!!! This is WAY too good to cut!!! I think there should be Season 6, Season 7 etc….
Covert Affairs was awesome. I found it educational too. There was so much global interaction with CIA and other similar authorities such as the FSB, etc. Even military lingo and realistic The characters do an excellent job solving problems with lots of drama and action. Way above average program. You could take it into multiple different directions. If not, NBC should contract some of the same actors, i.e., Annie Walker and Angie to conduct something else. Way to good to cut short after the 5th season.
Covert Affairs was an excellent show. It deserves at least one more season to wrap up all the loose ends. The main character was left in limbo as to what life choices she would make. While it is nice to postulate what she would do, it would be desirable to have at least one more season to wrap up her choices.
Covert Affairs was my all time favorite tv series. Would love to see a season 6. It was a pleasure to watch… great writing, acting, and photography. You made a big mistake canceling it.
Covert Affairs should have been renewed. USA made a big mistake, in the stylings of FOX, who has canceled multiple epic shows.
The actors on Covert Affairs may have wanted to move on, and that’s okay.
But if the network dropped the show because ratings dropped in one season- then shame on them.
Covert Affairs was a great Spy show- and is still fun to rewatch from time to time.
It deserved a much better ending though.
I rate Covert Affairs with a million stars.
I enjoyed Covert Affairs very much. You need to bring it back with new episodes.
USA Network: Do whatever you have to do to bring the excellent cast of COVERT AFFAIRS back – even if it means less expensive location shooting. So good my family binge watched by streaming all 75 episodes of Seasons 1-5 over only 3 weeks!! It was a TERRIBLE decision to pull the plug without honoring the story lines, producers and loyalty this show’s fans have for it with no resolved relationships!!!!! No explanation – just left us hanging…hate that. Really turns us off ALL USA Network productions as a result! PLEASE RENEW THIS FANTASTIC SERIES! Just hope Piper Perabo, Christopher,… Read more »
Renew!!!!!
I love Annie Walker. I admired her strength, kick-ass attitude and her move on and get-over-it disposition. I loved the show because you got to learn some real world geography and it is refreshing not to hear the cuss words and see the alternative life styles in your face. USA please give it another season even if you have to go to different CIA offices around the USA. No pun intended.
A great interpretation of this s h ow. I agree
Renew this high drama adventure show with the slid characters that are excellent, maybe reduce the expense of so many worldwide locations!
Yes ! Continue !! Bring season six on. I absolutely love this show
Yes please make season 6 Bring it back you don’t have to go all over the world just to make a movie you can always do it here in the US and make it look like other places there’s a lot of ways these days to do that I think you should bring back your first love
