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).
CBC announced the cancellation of Frankie Drake Mysteries on Instagram.

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?
I look forward to frankie drake every week why cancel such a great show especially on a cliff hanger there’s nothing like this show with great strong leading lady’s with everything going on in the world the last year it was great to have a great show to watch witch was different please bring it back thankyou
Can’t believe that CBC has canceled Frankie Drake Mysteries!! The show was very interesting and well done by all the actors. I had a reminder in my phone for Minday night’s at 9:00 to watch the show. I will definitely miss watching this show. Good luck ladies in your future endeavours
Hi watch the show in the United States. Other than changing Frankie’s hair colour, it’s a tremendous show. Can’t say enough good things about it. Huge mistake In cancelling it.
Entertaining, light-hearted yet strong female roles. Love the show and sad to see it not renewed. Why do the great shows end?
I loved this show, & the strong women portrayed in it. I’m so disappointed that it’s been cancelled.
Loved this show is showed strong women. Please don’t cancrl it. Lets start a partition and ask to continue the series. All women in charge hard to find.
One of the best shows on TV…waited each week for the next episode, PLEASE bring it back….
I’m very sad to hear this my wife and I really enjoy watching the show. I hope someone else picks up the production and it returns. Thank you Ladies
I am so sad to hear this. Just was starting to feel comfortable with the show’s characters. It will be like losing a part of the family.
Soon there will be nothing decent to watch except reruns.
No, no, please no. LOVED those women every week. So much better than a lot of what’s on now. Please reconsider CBC.
I am angry that Frankie has been cancelled. I look forward to the show each week. The premise is good & fun & the female stars are great together. No other show like it. CBC? What’s with you. Kim’s, Trickster & now one of the best – Franke Drake.
Frankie Drake is a great show. Good whodunnit and Really makes so many good points about the strength of women and about how they were treated in the 20s. It is a poor time to cancel it given all the challenges now in the 2020s. CBC needs to reconsider!
Strong female cast needs to have season 5.
How perfectly sad that a series with strong, varied, female characters and such interesting plots has been cancelled by CBC. It has been a must watch for me and there is so little on CBC that I want to watch. Do we suspect that a bunch of “men in charge” cancelled the show?
Frankie drake mysteries one of the BEST. Season finale ends with anticipation to see what happens next! Needs to return to season 5.
The last episode in Season 4 left a lot up in the air. It needs to return, at least for a movie, to resolve these issues. This cliffhanger is for end of season, not end of series. Somebody goofed.
