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?
Once again the powers to be are shortsighted and make the wrong decision. Said to see Frankie and her cohorts leave. Good luck to you all.
Frankie Drake is one of the good series. I am so disappointed that it has been canceled. The characters are real, well developed, and the plots are so interesting. Maybe the powers that control programming should rethink this decision. The many fans of Frankie we be appreciated.
I really looked forward to watching each episode every week. The cast and setting were outstanding. Very disappointed that this great show was cancelled.
I am soooo disappointed, to see the cancellation; we have so few interesting and fun shows where the characters evolve in a way that makes sense. I wish CBS would listen to the audience. we need more of these!!
I am so sad. I love this show. I mean I just found it on PBS. Come on. We need more smart,fun,shows like this. It’s fabulous.
Sorry to see Frankie Drake end. As usual they cancel the good ones and leave you hanging. At least renew it so we know what happened!!!
No freaking ending to series. What is wrong with network!? Time to voice opinions to producers and CBS directly. Forget this site and where are pod casters, sooooo many television issues right now!
It makes no sense to cancel a groundbreaking series with all-female leads who are strong characters with agency. I am really bummed.
Why cancel a good show. Whoever is in charge of network needs to be replaced
My Favorite show! Why do they always cancel the good ones?
Frankie Drake series is smart, wittier than most. Huge sadness.
I love the Frankie Drake series and I am going to miss it! I loved these women and seeing the different cases. I cannot believe they ended with those cliff hangers either. I wanted more!!!!
I love this series, I just started watching it…please don’t cancel….it should go on!!
This show is a favorite. Love the cast members and the fun of seeing a past era shown on screen. Especially sorry that it has not been renewed for Season 5. It was a highlight for viewing.
I Am Very Sad That No season 5.I Cried All Throughout The Program. Ending Sucked,Thank You For Listening.
