Covert Affairs Cancelled By USA Network After 5 Seasons

January 6, 2015 by RenewCancelTV 19 Comments

Covert Affairs has been cancelled after five seasons by USA Network, THR confirms:

Sources tell THR that the renewal came down to a business decision, with the show’s live-plus-same-day ratings ultimately being the deciding factor. In its heyday, Covert Affairs — produced by NBCUni’s cable-focused Universal Cable Productions —regularly averaged 5 million total viewers in live-plus-same-day returns. Its recent fifth season hit a series low of 1.1 million viewers in November, leading up to an average of about 1.5 million and not enough to justify a second run despite the network’s ownership stake in the show.

RIP.

    Why won’t USA at least complete this new story line and give Covert Affairs another opportunity to regain it’s original ratings. I enjoyed this show so much PLEASE bring it back.

    I was surprised with this news! One of the great TV series gone 🙁 I’m so confused of USA Networks they used to cancel suddenly!! I don’t even understand why? This is very frustrating!! I am going to miss the show 🙁 I have read this article about the end of Cover Affairs http://www.exploretalent.com/articles/covert-affairs-ends-five-seasons/ ,What can you say?

      You guy’s canceled a very great show to watch. Covert Affairs, and it was original aired on Tuesday’s night’s before. Then it move to Thursday’s night’s. I’m very disappointed in USA network. That’s your problem you change show days and maybe that’s why they have low ratings. You should’ve let Covert Affairs show finished there season.

    Our whole family is hooked on this show and I can’t understand how some of the ridiculous shows are on season after season and great ones like this and Longmire aren’t. I feel like TV is dumbing down more and more. VERY Disappointing…..

    I will miss this show and agree that it was really tacky for USA not to do something to provide an better ending to a long-running, popular series. There were many loose ends left at the end of the season. I hope their new shows that I have read here http://www.exploretalent.com/articles/covert-affairs-ends-five-seasons/ like Dig, Mr. Robot and others will be better than this.

    Agree that Covert Affairs showed not be cancelled. I guess it’s cheaper for the networks to make reality TV shows and the good shows get cancelled. I will miss the show. I think I’ll go back to reading. Not much good TV left

    I agree they take off a good show and put on more and more stupid reality shows, people are really getting tired of . But they keep them and take the good shows off like covert affair,beautiy and the beast,gang related,bridge just to name a few.

    I wish they would at least tie up all the lose ends of Covert Affairs. I love this show and now with Ryan and Annie they could put them together and finish it up with one more season. Plus give Auggie his sight back. Please one more season!!! Great show!

    This was our familys favorite show. We always looked forward to it each year. The acting and the characters were great. The storylines were really good. Its such a shame to cancel good shows like this and then put on stupid reality shows. Makes you want to quit watching tv…….because you never get closure on your tv shows. My husband really liked Longmire and they cancelled it also. Somebody else please pick up Covert Affairs.

    This is getting ridiculous! I’m afraid to watch anything good because it will be cancelled. Longmire and now this – unbelievable! It’s not always about the money tv guys – when you lose all of your watchers because you kill all of the good shows – you’ll lose ALL your money!

    Will be sorry to see Covert Affairs go as is a favorite of mine! Its too bad the networks shoot themselves in the foot every time they split seasons showing some episodes then followed by a prolonged absence before new episodes appear again. It makes it difficult to follow along. At least this show was given a chance. Most are lucky to survive more than a few episodes before being yanked from the line-up! Disappointed at the lack of patience of the networks!

    The 5th season was very good, after season 4 was a little stale. I really believe season 6 was going to be fabulous. The network is so wrong to pull the plug on this show. Piper Parabo is just getting hotter with age, and adding the inevitable damaged edge to Annie’s personality was set to make her happines in love that much more fulfilling. This is a loss that the network will regret!

    Very sorry to see this show go. My family loves it! Annie and Ryan story line was awesome. Why don’t they do a spin off of them! Please let this one come back. It really is a great show with awesome actors all around. I have to agree with a previous comment that stated the network moving the dates around is the problem not the show.

    If USA would bring back the original format of the show, the ratings would go back up. She worked for the CIA, had crazy missions, couldn’t tell her sister, etc..but they moved away from that. she quit the CIA, went to work for private co. And ran after one guy, with this other guy…everything I loved about Annie had to do with the CIA mission secrecy, the difficulty of her missions, her spunk, Auggie having her back, etc etc etc . They moved too far away from the original story format we loved. Get back to that and everyone would come back to see what she does next!
    USA, please give it shot!
