J.J. Abrams’ UNDERCOVERS canceled

The Blooms have withered on the vine.

NBC announced that it is opting out of ordering a back nine episodes of Undercovers, which means it’s a goner after its 13-episode order runs out.

Undercovers was highly anticipated — and bid for — over the summer. A fresh spin to the spy-show genre was expected with J.J. Abrams (Alias, Lost) and Josh Reims (Felicity) behind the scenes, as well as casting two black actors, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Boris Kodjoe, in the lead roles of husband-and-wife spy.

But ratings are a clever foe, even for CIA agents. Undercovers premiered to 8.6 million viewers and a 2.0 rating among 18-to-49-year-olds, and fell to 5.8 million viewers and a 1.3 rating this week.

The cancellation comes just as the show was ramping up its mythology. After a slow start, the past two weeks’ episodes piled on the sexiness, suspense, and was starting to hit a serialized format going through why the Blooms really were taken out of retirement.
