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?
Amen
I think USA made a terrible decision, and a very bad mistake. Current USA programming isn’t worth watching. I personally experienced a time during season 4 when I was very disappointed in the writing for the show, but season 5 had laid the groundwork for some very interesting possibilities for season 6. It’s a shame that it ended the way that it did. Bad mistake!
Bring it back! I would love to see season 6
Bring back Simon! Annie’s best love interest.
Yes, it’s my favorite series !!!!!!! Please shoot a season 6
All my friends LOVE it.
It would be super to have more seasons of Covert Affairs. Greatly enjoyed each season.
Just starting season 5 and realized that is the last season. We are very bummed. We have really enjoyed watching it on Roku. Please bring it back. I’m a new loyal fan of the show.
Why is that they always cancel the good shows like covert affairs. It would be great if the make a season 6. Maybe another station would pick it up. It is a great show, great acting . I hope they think about it.
My family have watched the 5 seasons and couldn’t wait for season 6. Now we are being told that’s not going to happen. What a bummer. It’s a shame to have the good shows cancelled while networks continue showing crap.
I have watched all 5 seasons and I thought it was getting better & better. Really disappointed there is no Season 6, hope they change their mind.
I am enjoying Covert Affairs. I hope they can revise their decisions of cancelling the season 6 and continue with at least two to three episodes.
I think Covert Affairs should have continue. I wanted to see more of the characters Annie and Auggie. My two favourite stars. They could have go for two to three seasons more. I hope they revised their decisions.
I still miss Simon! She should have gone to the Maldives with him.
Wish they hadn’t left me hanging at the end of season 5. It would be nice to know what Annie Walker decided to do with her life.
Love Covert Affairs. Wish there were more seasons. ;(
