NBC has had great ratings success with airing The Blacklist after The Voice, their biggest series. Will State of Affairs be a hit as well? Cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
State of Affairs follows a top CIA analyst (Katherine Heigl) who assembles the President of the United States’ Daily Briefing (PDB), weighing the vital security issues that face the nation. She has a close personal relationship with the commander-in-chief (Alfre Woodard) as she was once engaged to the president’s now-deceased son. The rest of the cast of this dramatic thriller includes Adam Kaufman, Sheila Vand, Cliff Chamberlain, Tommy Savas, and David Harbour.

Love the show! Would hate to see it cancelled!!!
Please, DO NOT CANCEL this show. I can’t wait each week to seek what exciting things will happen. You have a great cast and it would be a shame to see the show cancelled. Please reconsider any thoughts of cancelling it.

What you’re not taking into consideration too is a lot of people like me that DVR shows because we don’t want to watch commercials! Not many people watch live tv shows anymore! I DVR all my shows and watch every single one of them on my time!
NBC must see the potential in this show!! Love it and I hope there is a season 2! I haven tarted to watch NBC because of this program so don’t let me down!!
I really like State of Affairs! Please don’t cancel it
Great show…definitely renew.

State of Affairs is a great show, maybe the best. Please do not cancel it. The story line is good, the acting is good. It will end up a classic if you run with it.

Please renew State of Affairs.
