Frankie Drake Mysteries is ending its run on CBC with its current fourth season. Ovation aired the first three seasons of the Canadian series and it will likely air the fourth and final year, but a premiere date has not been set.
Lauren Lee Smith (above) stars in the detective drama set in the 1920s as Frankie Drake – the first female detective. She uses that to her advantage to solve cases with the help of her partner, Trudy (Chantel Riley). They are often aided by Toronto police’s morality officer, Mary Shaw (Rebecca Liddiard), and morgue attendant Flo Chakowitz (Sharron Matthews).

What do you think? Are you a fan of Frankie Drake Mysteries? Are you sad to hear that there won’t be a fifth season?
What a shame that intelligent writing, wonderful costuming ( especially those hats!) and women who are strong and independent had to come to an end. So much drivel otherwise. That’s why I haven’t watched “American” programming for years. Goodbye Frankie and the gang. You will be sorely missed.
Wish there’d be a seaaon 5. Fun show.
really disappointed that the Frankie Drake Mysteries don’t go on! We really liked the way they dealt with Canadian subjects and problems…
I really enjoyed this show and was very disappointed to see that it’s been canceled. I looked forward to watching these 4 gals and their special relationship and am very sad to have to say goodbye to them.
