It doesn’t make sense that CBC would cancel one of the best shows on television.

1 6 Pam Helms March 15, 2023

So sorry to hear that they cancelled Frankie Drake mysteries. It was a delightful show and will be truly missed.

They left so many open situations in the last episode. It would be wonderful if they continued on with another season even if it was to bring a proper close and create a proper ending to the series. It seems like they owe the viewers that much at least.

1 7 kay newnham February 13, 2023

I can’t believe this has been cancelled, it was a breath of fresh air after all the rubbish on tv at the moment, it was entertaining without the cringing blood and gore scenes or the cringing sex and glamour reality shows , something easy to watch .

1 6 Jeanette Erard November 28, 2022

My spouse and I have really enjoyed watching the Frankie Drake Mysteries. We are sad, disappointed, almost betrayed that such a quality show has been discontinued. This show went out on a very high note. The producers, writers, actors and wardrobe people are all to be congratulated. If there was a Sid Caesar award we would nominate your show. Bravo!!

0 8 Paula November 22, 2022

I was so bummed to learn that there won't be a season 5 of Frankie Drake. I enjoyed each season. One of my favorite characters became Mary. Particularly where she danced. Plus, there needs to be a special to tie up loose ends.

1 7 Shelrae August 29, 2022

No!!!! This is excellent writing and production.....great premise ...... superb acting so they cancel this show and probably put on trash.

0 10 Lisi Shelrae November 13, 2022

I am so mad! I just found out Frankie Drake Mysteries has been cancelled! They can't leave everything hanging like that! At least do a 2 hour special and try to wrap up some storylines! I have invested a lot of time in these characters. So unfair!!

0 6 Rachel August 29, 2022

Does anyone know how to set up an online thing where viewers can protest the cancellation to the CBC producers?

0 20 You July 8, 2022

At least do a 2 hour movie to tie up all the cliff hangers and give the girls a proper ending!

2 17 Terri June 25, 2022

Why is it when a good show comes on they cancel it and put trash on. The story lines were great, loved the time period and costumes. It got me into watching pbs more. Not so sure now!!

0 12 Martin Kimeldorf May 17, 2022

It simply makes no sense to have not brought this back and continued it was truly the best series I’ve ever seen in my 60 years of watching television

0 15 Larry May 13, 2022

Wonderful show with superb creative writing. The CBC shows how intelligent drama can be made. Chantel Riley's portrayal of Trudy was ground breaking. An episode with her staring in an Oscar Micheaux movie as a jazz singer would have fit right in. The entire cast and episodes were believable and very entertaining.

0 16 Wings2Fly May 12, 2022

I loved this show!

For any film/ TV production to have all female leads, is exceptional! I admit I've always been a bit jealous of the girls, because nothing like this was around when I was doing my "aspiring actress" thing in Toronto in the 70's. The costumes were fabulous! The storylines were well scripted! All of the actresses were so much fun to watch, especially Wendy Crewson! Until Frankie Drake, I believe I had only seen Wendy in dramatic roles. She played such a wonderly wicked, completely corrupt, con artist extraordinaire! [bigsmile]

As someone else has mentioned, why is it that shows with women in the leading roles, get cancelled much more often than shows with men in leading roles? [angry]

This - IS!- the 21st Century! [angry]

Time for the CBC and all other broadcasters to wake up and step up!

0 16 Viv April 11, 2022

Please bring back the show it was so entertaining loved the outfits

0 28 Vivian January 19, 2022

Obviously, they did NOT know they were being cancelled, due to the way the last episode of season 4 just STOPPED in mid-story. What a let down to be left hanging with all those story lines unfinished. I hate when they do that! Just one or two more shows could have made the it right.

0 25 Rose P January 13, 2022

Why did they canceled Frankie drake mysteries it’s a wonderful show I loved it I hope some other network picks it up I’m so sad

0 27 LaVonne January 9, 2022

I am very sad to hear that Frankie & Trudy and the gang won’t be back for a 5th season. The show was very good with a superb female cast who all gave exceptional performance’s episode after episode!! The writing was excellent, truly great tv ? I echo the voice of many who left comments I do hope Netflix or Hulu sees this gem ? of a show and pick it up allowing it to continue to shine!!!!

0 26 Judith Finkel January 3, 2022

My friends and I loved “Frank Drake”. Why is it that the best shows with strong women always get canceled? They canceled “Miss Fisher” way to soon also another great show!!!

0 2 Darlene Judith Finkel March 5, 2023

I'm saddened by this also, and yes "Miss Fisher" was one hell of a show. I hope that this is just one big joke.

0 31 Debbide January 3, 2022

Hopefully Frankie Drake will be picked up by another studio to produce Season 5, this is a great show and many people are disappointed it was cancelled.

0 14 Carolyn M December 27, 2021

So sad . This is my favourite show. Why on earth would they cancel it?

0 24 Pat C December 19, 2021

Why cancel a great show with 4 strong women as leads. It’s a real treasure

0 8 Elaine J Pat C September 3, 2022

Successful women in leading roles threaten men.

0 24 Kelly G December 15, 2021

I really hope Franky Drake gets picked up for a season 5 and more.

0 28 SM December 13, 2021

I hope someone else picks it up and makes a boatload of money. It really sucks to leave viewers with a cliffhanger like that. Has no one learned anything? It's frustrating beyond comparison. [confused]

0 22 Moi December 8, 2021

How disappointing that Frankie Drake is not getting a 5th season. It's been a breath of fresh air. I have thoroughly enjoyed this somewhat campy show, especially the way those ladies take charge. The are courageous to the point of fearlessness and the eye-rolling "place" of women (according to most of the men in the show) show us how women were treated during the era. Not much changed for many years, but that's another tale.

2 11 Paula M. December 5, 2021

My husband and I couldn’t believe there will be no more Frankie and all the other wonderful actors. Is there anyway this mystery will return?? Or are they joining Murdoch Mysteries?

1 15 Doug M December 5, 2021

A show about four intelligent, independent strong women. I for one will miss it very much. But I wish the four ladies who have entertained us for four seasons, every success in the future.
