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?
Don’t leave us hanging like this… Give the cast a proper send off. It was was bad enough when there was the writers’ strike and so many series fell to the way side leaving us to our own imaginations. I like the twists that the writers of Covert Affairs gives us as viewers. Just give it the one last hooray it deserves or we deserve.
There should be a closing episode. Our imaginations will have the best of us wondering, the what ifs. The writers are very creative in keeping us in suspense and just ending it with no finale, well it’s like a book without an ending. How interesting g is that?
I am so shocked! This is absolutely my favorite show on TV. I am just stunned. Maybe Amazon or Netflix can please pick the series up!
NOOOOO they can’t cancel this show like that!!!! I’m from Australia and I know quite a few fans here that are devastated. All these new shows don’t even compare to this series. After losing white collar this can’t happen. I hope they can reconsider or make a movie that gives us all some closure. SO SAD!
It deserves a proper ending like white collar enjoyed. Like others, I will be bypassing USA network.
They should have at least gave them season six to wrap up.
Your great stars if you cancel will move on to bigger and better things and you will be SO SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Moron’s. Best action show on TV. You are idiots to cancel this show. You will never produce another show as good as this one. What the HELL in the upper mangament are they thinking. Don’t canel, renwew and keep renewing. What is wrong with you people. One of the best shows on TV and you are going to cancel it. I watch every show, the best show. So the ratings dropped for 1 year, big deal, there is rise and fall with everything. Wall Street fallls and no one closest it. What a bunch of dorks. Keep your best TV… Read more »
This is a huge mistake by USA. It used to be one of my favorite channels but now that Monk, White Collar and Covert Affairs are gone I guess my remote won’t be stopping there anymore!
Loved this series. At least give it a proper send off and end the storylines.
Covert Affairs is one of the best show on tv. Looked forward to watching it every week. At least bring it back as season 6 series finale. BRING IT BACK
Bad move, great show. To bad u don’t fire the people who were responsible for changing the schedule so much! Show had a great following!
Covert Affairs is a great show! Ratings were down because of the schedule for the last two seasons. It was difficult for viewers to know when it would be back and the day and time when it would be on. This show deserves a proper ending. Bring it back for a 6th season!
Covert Affairs was on 5 seasons. Any show on more than a year or 2 deserves an ending. I am not happy that it was cancelled, but I do not think it is fair for any television channel to have the right to cancel a show that was on this long without giving it a proper ending. It really makes me weary on getting into any new series thinking it could be cancelled and will leave all the fans out in the cold with how this show was going to end. I have already taped a full series of a… Read more »
