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.

Reference point: Season four of Covert Affairs averaged a 0.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.27 million total viewers.
Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers.

The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like the Covert Affairs TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for season six?
Really bummed to lose this show. I had just found it and caught up on all 5 seasons. I have read that it was very expensive to produce with all the overseas filming…much cheaper to do a reality show. What a shame.
USA you are out of your minds. This was the best show you had. Replace it with another of those stupid reality tv shows where would be actors can sell their dignity and sanity for a few bucks like the yahoos that they are.
You could make it about yourselves and call it How to lose viewers 101.
The best show on TV. Please bring it back.
USA are you out of your minds? This was not only the best show you had, it was one of the best shows on television. To which demographics are you catering? We haven’t been able to figure that out.
Please reconsider your decision and bring it back.
I can’t believe it! When the last episode finished of season five I was so excited to see when season six came out!! Please don’t cancel it this is an awesome show and i’d love to see how it really ends if Annie marrys Ryan if she goes back to Joan. Honestly is to greatof a show and story line to just cancel!! RENEW IT PLEASE!!!
I agree with all of you. I thought an original cable TV production was not as brutal in cancelling a popular program. Wrong!! It is beyond stupid to cancel this highly acclaimed, well written, action packed SPY series. There is still so much life in this program & you cancelled without closure. I really thought Annie & Augie were getting back together. I can live with Augie with Tasha & Annie with McQuad. So much drama, action, world events & most of all HOPE. Hope that good overcomes evil in this crazy world. We need heroes & Covert Affairs has… Read more »
I was commenting that STRONG women are playing leading roles! Sorry for typo.
USA are you all completely stupid? Please do not cancel Covert Affairs! Several of us watch from our own homes & get on the phone the next day & discuss what happened & what we think will come next. I agree to canceling the reality shows. People have enough problems on their own. Why should some get paid for acting ridiculous?
Another good series cancelled!!!!!…….Way to go……….but we keep adding these STUPID Reality Shows…….that people are fed up of watching..Reality shows are for people that have no lives and want their 5 minutes of fame hoping they will hit the “jackpot” and cash in on fame……and months down the road, they fade into obscurity…………COVERT AFFAIRS was always an intriguing show…..which let us discover other parts of the world through Annie’s eyes……..Enough!…..Very disappointed with the decision to cancel…….
USA you disappointed me by cancelling Covert Affairs. But you keep stupid reality shows (aka Crap) on your network. Blank your ratings, your just screwed over a million loyal fans. I hope another network picks up this series. You lost another fan if your station, maybe you will get cancelled or shut down.
I see many feel that they were left hanging by the way CA ended, but I think that was a good enough ending. Now I know many people watched the show later on DVR, ON DEMAND, or streamed it, but the TV ratings were way down for a reason, or two, or three. I loved CA, but they got rid of every element that made the show great, and decided to go down this more serious or dark direction and that’s what ultimately killed it. Even though I did not like season 5, I will still miss my favorite spy… Read more »
I enjoy the show but I think the ratings may have dropped because you never knew when the next episode would be aired.. S5 E10 aired Aug 26/14 and we had to wait 72 days for S5 E11. That’s ridiculous, and networks do it all the time..
Started to pass on posting a supportive Covert comment. But, glad I spoke up…hope others do likewise. Strength in numbers my fellow fans! Unite!!
I don’t beieve this!! Covert Affairs cancelled w/ so much left hanging? Just when our Annie has found her soulmate Ryan McQuaid–a young,blonde,fit JFK look-alike–with whom she shares an inate bond of trust and commitment. Whether attacking a terrorist stronghold on foreign soil or staying up all night just talking in Ryan’s living room…these 2 are the real deal! After following Annie,Auggie and company for 5 yrs of never-ending crises…viewers are cut off cold turkey?? Come on–have mercy on Covert addicts! Give us at least one more season to have plots and relatipnships reach some resolution. Perhaps making inevitabe withdrawal… Read more »
I hate that Covert Affairs is cancelled. My daughter and I looked forward to it each season. Excellent cliff hanger that we may never see. So much nonsense on TV , but the great programs get cancelled. Please reconsider this cancellation, or at least end it properly.
Very, very disappointed Covert Affairs is being cancelled!! It is one of very few shows we really looked forward to every week and even had it set to record in case we weren’t home. Seems all the better shows are getting cancelled and the dumb half hour shows and reality shows are the only thing left on tv. We have absolutely no interest in those. It is really very discouraging the shows of interest for the 50-60 age group keep getting cancelled. Please reconsider and bring it back!!
