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?
Very disappointing. This is a great series. Loved watching all of these intelligent and interesting ladies!
Absolutely disappointed in the cancellation of Frankie Drake ,what is CBC thinking , great show ,yet u bring shows on that are ridiculous, what’s next Murdoch Mysteries, then Corner!!! I believe CBC should reconsider this decision.
I’m sad. I actually changed my streaming and cable services just to be able to watch it on Ovation Now. It was fun. I’ll probably end up binging it again some time.
I’m very sad Just when you get a great CANADIAN show… they take it away! I will miss the gals & their fun characters.
I am very disappointed to hear that. My wife and I enjoyed this program. The plots were very interesting and the acting was great. I feel the network could have done a better job promoting it. Compared to many other programs thay are still running this program wad far superior. It deserves to be extended.

I am really going to miss the show. I wonder why they made this decision.
As usual another great show canceled. Frankie Drake mysteries were a lot of fun
to watch. Hopefully there will be a change of heart and the show will return.
We have become Frankie Fans and are sad that it will not be coming back
This hasn’t been the best season, but still better than most of the stuff out there. Congratulations on the four seasons that you did have. CBC has Pretty Hard Cases that is quite excellent. It seems that most of our Canadian programs end up south of the border. Thanks for liking our great shows!
We are great supporters of Canadian production and content Frankie Drake is a wonderful show, fantastic, sympathetic characters. Different situation but Murdoch was cancelled then CBC picked it up, the rest is history, it is a success. Please renew!!!!
Why the hell would they cancel one of the best shows on CBC? There is so much junk on tv now and what do they do? Cancel a great show! Give your head a shake!!!!
I really liked Frankie drake mystery’s, good supporting group really clicked. I am very disappointed that this show was cancelled.
I’m very distressed. This show was dealing well with the ability of women to band together and work closely with one another in such a positive way. Am so sorry to see it go but, it figures. All the really positive things and good shows get cancelled as the masses don’t watch enough.
I am so pissed. With all the crap shows CBC has on, how could they cancel Frankie Drake (the female Murdoch) What idiots!!!
I am crestfallen. This was a really cute show. Saying that, four seasons ain’t a bad run.
One of the best series on tv that sucks. They al way take the good one off and bad one on.
