    Cliff Notes – Amazon Prime fans rush to binge incredible thriller axed 10 years ago

    • Revival of Interest: “Covert Affairs,” a spy thriller cancelled in 2014, has surged in popularity on Amazon Prime Video, prompting fans to binge all five seasons.
    • Critical Acclaim: The series, featuring Piper Perabo as Annie Walker, received positive reviews and several awards despite declining viewership over its run.
    • Social Media Buzz: Viewers are actively discussing the show’s return on social media, with many praising its engaging plot and character development.

    Amazon Prime fans rush to binge ‘incredible’ thriller axed 10 years ago

    Amazon Prime Video fans have been rushing to catch up with all five seasons of an intense spy thriller series that was cancelled 10 years ago.

    Covert Affairs, which started in 2010, follows the story of Annie Walker – a young CIA trainee who gradually becomes a key agent in the organisation.

    Starring Piper Perabo as Annie, the drama ran for five years and produced more than 70 episodes, winning several awards along the way.

    Despite being positively received by critics and winning those awards, viewership figures dropped from 6.7 million to 3.3 million over five seasons.

    This meant that the show was cancelled in 2014 and didn’t return for the 2015 TV calendar, but still rounded off its story with a 16-episode final season.

    Now, in 2025, Covert Affairs has become one of the top trending shows on Amazon Prime Video, with people urging other TV viewers on social media to start watching it if they haven’t already.

    @Ralphydir said: ‘Today I was watching Covert Affairs all over again. It’s such a fun TV series to watch they had so many episodes in five years and there’s always something you wanna see again. The very first episode is incredible.’

    @LestatxLouis was particularly ecstatic that the show had returned: ‘It’s been years since Prime Video took off Covert Affairs and now they’ve brought it back!’

    In Covert Affairs, actor Cristopher Gorham played Auggie Anderson, Annie’s CIA handler who was blinded on a previous mission – and fans became almost too familiar with Auggie.

    Speaking about Christopher taking on a role in a new TV show, Cindy Cinocco said: ‘It’s weird seeing [Christopher] not blind. I know he’s not – but we got so used to seeing him that way in Covert Affairs.’

    Before Covert Affairs came to streaming in the UK, Luke Godfrey lamented its lack of availability on these shores: ‘Good series. Unfortunately it’s not available on any streaming platforms for free here in the UK.’

    On IMDb, user Brady Peter said the series ‘had [him] glued right throughout’ and called the ending ‘sensational,’ while praising the ‘compelling’ action sequences in the show.

    Chris Fairhall, also on IMDb, said he stayed patient and was rewarded: ‘Almost exactly around the middle of season 3, it suddenly gets better and stays that way. The writing, the action, the subterfuge, it becomes an eminently bingeable spy thriller.’

    The series also starred Kari Matchett as senior office Joan Campbell, Anne Dudek as Annie’s older sister Danielle, and Sendhil Ramamurthy as CIA office Jai Wilcox.

    Covert Affairs was produced by Doug Liman, who directed 2000s films such as Mr and Mrs Smith, Jumper, and The Bourne Identity, before overseeing Edge of Tomorrow (Live Die Repeat) starring Tom Cruise.

    David Bartis, who also produced the series, became known for his backroom work on Suits and The OC, as well as films such as the 2008 remake of Knight Rider.

    Watch Covert Affairs on Amazon Prime Video.
