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?
That is awful. One of the best shows on TV. It is hard to believe that after 5 seasons, you would end it so abruptly. I will not watch anymore USA network programs, since you have cancelled this one.
I hope you bring it back. It was a great show and kept you on edge.

I can’t believe, the show is cancelled. I AM A BIG FAN OF THE SHOW. It was one of the better shows on USA. They should’ve cancelled all the stupid reality shows not a good fun filled show. Big mistake USA
Chrisley knows best is renewed, but Covert Affairs is not?
Asinine.
Annie Walker say it isn’t so! The ratings dropped because USA Network’s promotions and marketing were M.I.A. It’s no secret that after you build a fan base you have to sustain it and grow it — hey TV people, how to keep a show successful is not classified info. Shame on you. And at the very least have enough class to provide a finale. Thank you cast, writers and producers for a brilliant escape once a week. No point in seeing (or spying) on what USA Network does next. Looks like more reruns of ABC and CBS leftovers — where… Read more »
Considering all the “reality series” junk that’s on the air, this show had some good story lines and great locations. The least USA should have done was wrap up the stories.
Bring it back, was a show with some new ideas a nd interesting, dynamic characters, better than most we are now enduring
Whyyyyyyyyy!!!!
BRING IT BACK!! MY FAMILY HAS WATCHED FROM THE BEGINNING, WE THINK IT IS AWFUL HOW YOU JUST CUT IT OFF. WHY COULDN’T YOU AT LEAST LET IT WIND DOWN LIKE WHITE COLLAR(WHICH WE ALSO WATCH) AND WE HATE BOTH SHOWS ARE GONE BUT AT LEAST WHITE COLLAR WILL HAVE AN ENDING. NOT JUST LEAVE THE FANS HANGING IN THE AIR. THE DOLLAR SHOULD NOT BE THE ONLY CONSIDERATION, YOU OWE IT TO THE LOYAL FANS TO LET IT HAVE CONCLUSION, NOT JUST LEAVE US HANGING. I KNOW ALOT OF PEOPLE STOPPED THIS LAST YEAR BECAUSE OF THE BIG GAPS… Read more »
We are terribly disappointed that Covert Affairs has been cancelled. It was one of the best series on television in a long time. Excellent cast, story line, excitement, and mystery in each episode that made you want to see more. We couldn’t ask for a better series. Too bad the network values net worth rather than true entertainment. Please reconsider for the sake of good programming.
Fantastic show – bring it back!
I can’t believe it is gone. LOVED IT. Couldn’t wait for each season to start.
Love the show! Please don’t cancel it. So interesting, good mystery, great plot….why cancel one of the best shows on tv today???? Please re-consider…thanks.
Bring it back, love it. They left us hanging, I hate that.
Bring it back! What heck we all watching this
Loved this show, and saw every episode. Sad to see it go.
