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. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. 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?
The show is great therefore it will be cancelled……………..as so many other good ones have.
The last part of season three was extra good……So therefore I was surprised they did not cancel season four.
dear Terasa, I totally agree with u! The chemistry with Auggie is totally a zero…a disaster! I have been watching all episodes again and again…and the more i watche them, the more i realize that the union Annie -Auggie simply doesn’ t give any emotion.. Also i find Auggie a very annoying with his arrogance, he never really simpathize with any one..he goes from one woman to another but not really committed..he loves and breaks up so easily like having a new cup of coffee! He is very cold..doesn’t give deeper feelings in any situations. One may say, well they… Read more »
Love this series. If the show was dropping I would say it might have had to do with the union of Auggie and Annie. The duo kind of creeped me out and was not a good chemistry at all. Annie does best with the Moussad agent, she did great with the Russian spy they killed off and that was a shame. I’m not sure I care for her relationship with this new American but with Auggie it was just creepy. Many times I was thinking of turning off the episodes where they were too intimate. Annie doesn’t work with him… Read more »
Now that you mention it, it might be so. I always thought the opposite because the Auggie groupies are the most vocal about the A/A pairing. When I rewatched season 3, Annie was so very close to Eyal, and were almost devoted to each other, choosing each other over their own agencies. Sure it was forbidden fruit, but their story and their chemistry supported their intimacy. Then out of nowhere, Auggie just says the word, and Annie is in love with him. I know she had a crush on him earlier, but after, Simon, it made no sense so soon,… Read more »
Please do not cancel the series! The characters and actors are great! Especially Auggie and Annie. The writers need to keep in the attraction between Annie and Auggie, not separate them so much. And, Annie having a heart condition is just weird. Kind of runs the future of the story line off into the ditch! The heart and soul of the series has always been Annie’s courage and confidence–and Auggie’s. What I love about the show is the courage, inventiveness and commitment that the characters display–and with the sexual tension between Auggie and Annie, it is an addictive show! Please… Read more »
keep the show. It is one of the more interesting series on TV.
I have Netflix and never heard of this show before seeing it on there I watched all four seasons in like two weeks an amazing show and can’t wait to see season 5 please don’t cancel it.
Really hoping for season 6 renewal for Covert Affairs! I just love this show and all the thought and talent that has gone into creating it. Season 5 was a bit diasappointing to me until I saw the International Spy Museum. The writers have been straight down the line of reasonable spy drama and the tough things “prophecized” by the original intro song “Can You Save Me?” This show has the potential for 2-4 more good seasons depending on how quickly they need to resolve storylines. Annie has to overcome this horrible way she has become lost in her own… Read more »
When it will be announced if cancelled or renewed?

I really hope they don’t cancel this show. I don’t understand why they yank the show around from tuesdays to thursdays every season and why the break? Just to air repeats of law and order all day. Does usa do this to any other show they air?
I agree Covert Affairs should be renewed. I think the story this season has been very clever and refreshing. I have enjoyed both the established and new characters and how they have been woven into the overall story. I like the show’s evolution to a more season spanning story line and think it works well within the show’s overall concept. I think they have traditionally had it on Tues. for Summer and Thurs. for Fall. I just wish they did more to promote it. Compared to the other shows on USA, the network seemed to give it very little promotion… Read more »
Melanie, that was enlightening. I have heard that usa under promotes Covert Affairs. I have o idea why, given the show is only one season away from syndication which they can only profit from. Surely it makes more sense to promote it at least as much as the other shows. I can’t see Thursday night in the fall helping with the ratings given CBS will be showing Football, and the Shondraland’s tripple delight coming up on ABC Thursdays. I no longer have cable due to the cost and watch the usa shows on Amazon and buy the current eps. I… Read more »
Cancelled, as confirmed by usa tv
Season five resumes 11/6. It has not been cancelled or renewed for a sixth season yet.
Rewatching season one. Am I only one who loves the angtsy romance between Annie and Ben. So sad how they pinned for each other for years. And Annie didn’t even know he followed her around, protecting her and pinning for her. So sad. Would be great if it all came full circle and Annie ends up with Ben, finally free to love each other without the CIA getting in the way. They should run off to an island of Sri Lanka and make hot babies. The actor who plays Ben is so hot.
Please renew this show. I’ve watched the entire series 3 time in 2 months. I desperately need new the new eps and a season 6 …
I love cover affairs. Have been watch in since the beginning.
I love it, renew it! I like the characters they’ve created and the dialogues. Each season has a very distinctive taste and the characters actually undergo change based on their experiences (not that common in this type of show where the troubled hero often remains so from the first to the last episode).
Adore this show. Fantastic characters and great cast. Love the spy-fantasy/drama balance. Makes for such entertaining escapism with a nice blend of drama. Please don’t cancel it. Wish it was on broadcast network summer schedule for more access to the show.
Love the show….very well written.
