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?
We are devastated to see this. The show is our favourite. We live in Tucson but hail from Canada. What an original, witty, fresh, and entertaining show with no onslaught of copy cats. The networks produce nothing creative or new, just clones & remakes, pretty boring. We thank our local PBS channel for showing this to the American audience, and BOO HISS at CBC.
If this show is being cancelled, then I am EXTREMELY disappointed!! The cast is EXTREMELY talented and the storyline is intriguing. If the actors wish to continue, please renew the show. Thank you!
I am a late attendee, and am so disappointed the show ended as it did. Was looking forward to finding out what happens next.
We love Frankie Drake mysteries, and I’m very disappointed that they were canceled, the characters our Amazing. I think it was a big mistake personal!
I need this show back in my life!!! Pretty please!
Any chance it will be brought back.? It’s been one of my favorites
Maybe another network/broadcaster will be interested in continuing the show!
If Murdoch Mysteries can get a season 16, why not Frankie Drake a season 5?
Watched the show with family every Friday night religiously. Looked forward to Friday evening programming just for this in the line-up. Luv all four of the characters. You made us care so deeply for all of them. Was tuning in for not only the mystery but also the drama and ups and downs of each of the ladies; their relationships and family as well. Thank you for bringing something so special to life. I hope this isn’t really the end. Will a write in campaign help to save the show? It is never too late!
Will there be a movie like Downtown Abbey?
Frankie Drake is one of my very favorite programs. I am so sad to read that it will not be returning for Season 5. Any chance of a change of plan???
I am very sad the show was canceled. Frankie Drake Mysteries was a fun watch. There is no show quite like it that even comes near. Good luck to the four incredible actresses and the talented crew and staff. I am looking forward to seeing you in other venues.
I loved the show! I’m so sad that it’s gone.
I was getting a little tired of Frankie getting all the men. I was really looking forward to the other three ladies expanding their roles. I was NOT looking forward to Frankie moving from the race car driver to the carpenter.
Oh, I will miss this show. I so looked forward to seeing these 4 ladies every week.
