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?
Many of us who loved this series are left with a bitter taste. I can only hope this decision will be questioned……..
I loved Covert Affairs. Well written, not too many curse words (more in season 5 than others), cleaner than most shows. Great writing. Sad to see it go!
I can not believe you have again cancelled a good show. I really enjoyed covert affairs. You are so stupid
greatest CIA show ever!! love this show and am EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED in learning that it was canceled. PLEASE BRING IT BACK for a 6th season, or at the very least a mini-series to wrap it up. we need MORE shows like this!! again, best show ever!!
I loved the show, I think cancelling a popular show without a proper ending is sad and is not what we expected from USA network. The show was very innovated and had a great following
so why cancel a show that has it all. Makes me wonder if and when will they cancel other popular shows so don’t get invested.
Don’t leave us hanging. That was the pits the way it ended, for all concerned. Jez-Louise! A sixth season please. Even White Collar got one, even though short, which I watched. Again, I tape to go through commercials, after a long day, to get to the “good” stuff, to work another day, and pay for cable, lol!
I am a huge fan of the shoe and am very disappointed that is not coming back for another season. The story lines were exciting, with just right balance of suspense, action, sexual tension and romance. The characters were smart, believable, not to mention good looking.
I was searching to find out when the season would begin and to my utter dismay, found out the series has been cancelled. It will sorely be missed.
Covert Affairs had me invested in the characters and I hated when each season ended! I want to know how Annie’s life continues! Why?
Damn! I was so looking forward to the next season. Please USA reconsider.
USA has cancelled a lot of good shows but at least they gave them an ending, this show was popular. I don’t understand why if a show is so great, why would they cancel the show, please at least give a great ending. So many good shows and they cancelled and your are left wondering what could, should of etc,
I am sooooo disappointed that such an intelligent show with beautiful on site shots of around the world is cancelled. It figures sit-coms are so much cheaper.
As I was searching for news about when the new season of “Covert Affairs” would start, I came across the disappointing information that the show has been canceled. Oh, no! I loved this show and will really miss it. It was (IMO) the best series on USA network. I agree with a previous poster that it would have been nice if USA had given the fans of “Covert Affairs” some closure to what happens with Annie and the rest of the fine cast. If USA won’t produce another season to finalize the story line(s), perhaps they can be persuaded to… Read more »
I loved that show! Annie was fantastic in the role she played. The series was very exciting and always left me wanting more. I am very upset and disappointed in USA for cancelling my favorite show!
Again, I am very disappointed. As with Perception, I very much enjoyed this show. The net works should be listening, there are alot of people who wanted this show to continue, along with Perception.
Watched and liked this show. The network should at least take the fans into consideration and let the show give the fans closure before it wraps!
