Covert Affairs Renewed for Season 5

USA Networks has renewed Covert Affairs for a fifth season of 16 episodes. They’re expected to start airing next summer.

"No other series on television travels the globe to tell a story like 'Covert Affairs,' and we are pleased to bring it back for another season," said Chris McCumber, president of USA Network. "With its intricate storytelling, diverse characters and authentic locations, the series continues to be a cornerstone in our line-up of USA's original signature dramas."

The renewal comes mere weeks before Covert Affairs returns for the second half of its fourth season, which wrapped its summer run in mid-September. Season four of Covert Affairs continues on October 17 at 10/9c following the season premiere of White Collar.
