The ratings for Covert Affairs have been dropping each season for awhile. Will they keep falling this year? Will they drop so low that the USA series is cancelled or, will it be renewed for a sixth season? Stay tuned!
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 ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
UPDATE: USA has decided to cancel Covert Affairs after five seasons.
Final season averages: 0.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.54 million total viewers.

What do you think? Do you like the Covert Affairs TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for season six?
If I hadn’t searched for a start date for a show, I would not have read that this wonderful, riveting, intelligent, action show was cancelled. I did not see the last episode as Series Finale. Ratings go up & down. Switching days & times of shows is not a great idea. Putting an original cable made show against Prime Time network shows is asking for war. I switch between watching live & DVR on another day. I am sure I am not the only viewer who does this. I don’t have time for commercials & that is what sells a… Read more »
I was actually happy with the ending. It gave everyone a future and it was time to end it. The storylines were getting too personal, and the show was no longer about National Security, which I really think the show should have been about. Without strong stories, a youngish cast matters to attract the younger demos and with the exception of the lead female, everyone else looked 50 or more and USA shows appeal to younger crowds. Sorry, maybe shallow but it is what it is.
It is so disappointing sometime how the entertainment business leave viewers hanging. I understand they cancel shows but they should at least do something to close the circles before canceling series. I hope their new movie series like Dig, Mr. Robot and others will be better than this.
I am so disappointed about this. Covert Affairs was one of a very few shows that we watched without fail. Please reconsider.
The show is so good. And you never finished the ending. Need to return
You must renew !! I love covert affairs! At least have a final season to close it. Or another network should pick this up!!!!!!!
WHY ??? A CLEAN, INTERESTING , FUN TO WATCH AND YOU NEVER OF TELLING HER SISTER SHE WAS STILL ALIVE… WHY??? DO YOU PUT SOMETHING ON TV THAT PEOPLE REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING WEEK AFTER WEEK AND REALLY LIKE THE PROGRAMING…. T H A T’S -A- D A N G – SH A M E.

Covert Affairs is my favorite show!! I can’t believe it is being cancelled after only 5 years!!
Why oh why cancel all the good shows?
Seriously another good show canned. Really didn’t expect this to be canceled. Netflix should pick it up for another season
Please renew and leave tine slot alone with consistency!
I think should be renewed!!! And this time USA network should nit mess with the schedule so much and run week to week instead of all over the map. Two weeks here two weeks there 4week huatus here new day and time thete. Very frustrating!
Way to go USA network. Cancel your only show with a great role model for young women. Not to mention the great locations that provides a great escape. Yeah, lets just have more so called reality crap and more superficial and totally unrealistic shows.
I have watched covert affairs from when it had began and i think that there should be at least 1 more season cause the ending of season 5 was a cliffhanger and the relationship between auggie and Annie wasn’t quite fixed plus they are meant to be together… If USA can’t keep the show running y not find another filming company to do it? Plus there are a lot of shows that don’t get the ratings that are sufficient but the show keeps going!! Keep in mind there are a lot of people out there that love this show and… Read more »
Say it ain’t so. I got stuck on this show while visiting my dying father over the past few months…and now I’m a huge fan. I would love to see another season(s). It’s an exciting, fun show with great actors and great locations. A perfect way to escape!
