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?
The chanel doesn’t have great shows and to cancel one off the best it’s not nice
Show is terrible
bad acting, stupid plots in the U .S. They air this on PBS
what a waste
Murdoch is so much better
The frankie drake mysteries was the best Murdock sucks
Damned buffoons at CBC to cancel Frankie Drake Mysteries. A wonderful period piece from post WWI which showcases 4 sleuths going about their lives while solving the weekly who done it mystery of the week. This show is also diverse in the minor characters that are introduced as the series went on its course for 4 years. I’m saddened to see this show being cancelled so early on in what should have been a much longer running Canadianna TV show.
Wow
it’s so bad
I am so disappointed that Frankley Drake is not continuing. I really liked everything about the series. And wanted it to run for a long time. It would be great if another network could pick it up.
This really stinks. I love Frankie Drake and watch it along with Murdoch Mysteries on Ovation. I was looking forward to seeing more.
Why did Frankie Drake end on a cliffhanger?
I am so sorry this show was cancelled. I have really enjoyed it and was looking forward to a long run.
This is our favorite show! Can’t someone else, even a USA network buy it up and do more? It makes no sense at all!
Lets not let this happen this show has alot of different ppl of culture i m sick and tired of white ppl i like a mix up of ppl. Like Charlie Chan Asia.n and black. I want to see different races they re all smart and funny. So do not cancel Frankie Drake
CBC GAVE NO REASON? Oh well CBC loses thousands of CBC audiences move on to another Tv CHANNEL CBC HAS A HABIT OF DOING SO
I am beyond sad that this delightful female forward show is ending. It has a delightful cast, exciting plots, great music and is a joy to watch. Truly sorry CBC is ending this one and I hope that Netflix, or Crave sees the light and picks it up.
Gutted
We, Donald Berry and Felicity Brown, English viewers, are extremely disappointed that Frankie Drake has finished, especially with all the story lines up in the air and no explanation of why. We really enjoy Canadian crime and police stories believing them to be well made, with good characterisation and interesting plots.
Is there any hope of Frankie returning and, if not, is it possible at least for the fans to be told the reasons?
Sorry to see the series end. I thought it was a good show. It showed how women got the job done and a show with women in the lead roles.
NO NO dont cancel FRANKIE. Enjoy watching each week…even the reruns. Watch in Nebraska on PBS and Ovation. Murdoch is also on Ovation and love that show. Hope he is not canceled for a couple of years. BUT PLEASE bring back FRANKIE. So fun and the ladies are a real ‘Hoot’
