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?
I really wish that Covert Affairs had not been canceled! This is one of my favorite shows on television and I am very very disappointed that it was canceled. Please bring it back to us ?
Wish the network would give us fans at least a 2 hour wrap-up show or a short season, since they decided to leave all those cliffhangers unresolved. This kind of thing is a slap in the face to fans.
I am very upset that there will not be a 6th Season this was an awesome show that I would not miss an episode of.
Please re-instate and show Season 6!!!!!!!!
Loved the show, should not have been cancelled. But I guess I don’t matter, since I’m over-55!
I almost think that they pick the demographics to track depending on how much money they are making on a particular series.
One of the best shows I’ve ever seen in my 27 years. My emotional connection with the characters is far above any I’ve had to any other series in the past. I am upset of the end of the series and do not feel another show will top it.
This was one of the better action/spy series I’ve seen in recent times, and it’s a crime that ratings are still used to determine go/no-go of cancellation when there’s so much unaccounted-for viewing from web sources. I’m in the over-55 age category and I have a background in military and in the Intel business – in fact in one episode, Piper stood atop the one operations building in Berlin, now in shambles with radomes all torn up… I used to work there. So many locations and storylines in this series were a nod to those who quietly knew what that… Read more »
Please continueq d show. I am from Australia and me n my hubby watch it every Sunday without a fail. We love it so much and we were left hanging for more! We need answers!!!!!!
This is an amazing show! Do not worry about demographics! It’s for all ages, and I am 52 years young, and totally in love with this series! Well written, produced, Canadian based, Yahoo! This leaves too many things open, no closer and that is unforgivable! Please continue this show!!!!!!
We need closure on Covert Affairs. I realize you have a right to cancel a show but I also have the right to NOT watch any of your new offerings.
You can scrape up enuf $ to have a closing show or shows. Don’t wait too long. All your crew will disappear. The cast and writing were really good! Don’t think much of a your operation to leave the show’s fans hanging cold turkey.
Please reconsider!!
Plus I love Piper Perabo!!
Please bring this show Covert Affairs back! Interesting clean all around great acting. Loved everyone on it! Why would you cancel a show that had great content?! Yet they keep Elementary on?!
Wtf! This show was one of the best series I’ve watched!!! You can’t just end it with no closure. At least finish it!!! Better see a season 6
I like the one plays Annie. I like your number and to ask you out.
It should have been a 6 season and to see what had happen not just drop off like that she was hot.
