Second Season a Go for ‘Covert Affairs’
Annie Walker Will Be Back
Best news of the week thus far: USA Network has wisely decided to pick up freshman spy show Covert Affairs for a sophomore run.
That means series star Piper Perabo (Coyote Ugly) will return as promising CIA operative Annie Walker, along with her equally fabulous costars Anne Dudek (House), Peter Gallagher (The O.C.), Christopher Gorham (Ugly Betty), Kari Matchett (Invasion), and Sendhil Ramamurthy (Heroes).
In the USA Network press release announcing the renewal news, the network makes a point of highlighting the original series’ impressive ratings up to this point during its rookie season.
Standout accomplishments include being the top new series of 2010 among viewers aged 18 to 49, and earning its highest ratings to date in several demographics during the most recent episode, August 17th’s “House of the Holy.” Couldn’t have happened to a more entertaining Summer 2010 show.
Covert Affairs currently airs Tuesdays on USA Network at 10pm ET
