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 have really enjoyed this series over the years and I’m sorry to see it end. Thanks to USA for the great seasons that we were able to watch. I do agree with others though that the decision to leave the story hanging without answers and resolution, really leaves a bad taste – as though, we, as fans, are really not important to the network. I was really sad when Bomb Girls was cancelled, but the sting was lessened by the 2 hour movie they used to tie up the loose ends for the fans and that’s one possibility that… Read more »
Quality shows like this are cancelled and replaced by lame sitcoms. Would at least like to see a wrap up.
This was a great show…should have not been cancelled.
just cancelled my favorite show figures how lame t.v. has gotten
Too bad to see this abruptly end. I had really anticipated the continuation of this great show.
Really loved Annie. At least give a final season.
Really was hoping for season 6 wrap up.
I’m very sorry to hear that Covert Affairs will not be renewed. This show was my absolute favorite show of all times. I would of liked to have seen an ending suited to Annie.
So very sorry to see this series go. I think that I enjoyed this as much as watching “24” because made more sense at times. Please if you don’t make anymore, then have a grand finale.
So sorry to see this go, especially with no resolution. Could never vacantly view this series. Viewers had to stay engaged to keep up with plot twists and political machinations.
Loved this show. Hate to be left hanging with no resolution.
My husband and I are sorry Annie & company won’t have a series finale.
My husband and I always looked forward to Covert Affairs. We were both very disappointed to hear they were cancelling it while leaving things up in the air.
My husband and I really enjoyed the show. Would be nice to have a finale
Sorry to read this show’s been cancelled — really enjoyed watching it. Would be great if USA would produce a two-hour movie to wrap-up the series.
