This year, after just two seasons, Starz canceled the sci-fi thriller series, Counterpart. In Counterpart, an employee of a Berlin-based UN spy agency named Howard Silk, played by JK Simmons, meets his counterpart in a parallel world, known as the “main world”. The world Silk lives in is called the “alpha world”. Despite this show having rave reviews and gaining a cult following, it only generated an average of less than 500,000 viewers with a three-day delayed viewing. This was not enough to justify the high production cost of this series. The producers hoped another network would pick them up, but no one did. This means that there will be no Season 3 of this series.
