Secret Affairs reboot storyline

Blue skies are back as several USA Network series have recently found their way onto television screens. Monk And Psych both launched new movies on Peacock, while NBC (sort of) relaunched Suits with an ill-fated reboot set in Los Angeles. Additionally, a Royal pains a sequel featuring original star Mark Feuerstein is in the works at NBC, and White collar creator Jeff Eastin wrote a sequel series to The Swindler Two-Way that starred Matt Bomer and Tim DeKay. The same goes for the Piper Perabo-led spy drama. Secret Affairswhich ran from 2010 to 2015 before being unceremoniously canceled, will it be the next USA Network staple to get the reboot treatment?

“I lobbied for years to try to get something going, and from what I understand, there were no takers at the studios. I don’t know why,” Christopher Gorham, who played Auggie, Perabo’s CIA handler, told Soaps.com. “That would be great. And I know [creators] Mast [Corman] and Chris [Ord] would be up for it, and I think Piper would be up for it. And I don’t know why that didn’t happen.

Gorham says he even talked to Perabo about a sequel, and that he “just had a great idea for a story,” but the executives who would be responsible for footing the production bill “didn’t want to do it,” the actor reveals.

The series ended on several cliffhangers when it was abruptly axed after the season 5 finale, in which Auggie decided to travel the world with Natasha (Liane Balaban) and Ryan McQuaid (Nicholas Bishop) proposed to Annie. In Gorham’s potential reboot, “[Annie and McQuaid] “I got married and they were working together with McQuaid’s company, but then Annie finds out that Auggie is missing and Natasha has been killed, so she has to go work with the CIA to find Auggie,” Gorham says. “Then all kinds of crazy stuff happens and she finds him. And then at the end she decides that the CIA is where she belongs, and it ends with her returning to the CIA with Auggie – not as a couple, but in their place, working together as agents.

But Annie and Auggie are totally meant to be together as a couple, right? “With good writing, the audience will follow you everywhere, because if the writing is good and the things their characters do make sense, you don’t have to end up in the same place,” Gorham says. “So they could end up together, sure, but do they have to end up together, romantically? I don’t know. I never really felt like they had to be. I didn’t really feel that way, but I know a lot of people did, but not everyone. Some people wanted her to end up with Oded. [Fehr’s] character. They had great chemistry. And there were plenty of fans perfectly happy that she ended up with McQuaid.

While Gorham “has no more hope” for a Secret Affairs reboot, he thinks it continues, in a way, in his new series, CBS’ Sheriff’s Country.

“One of the things I think Sheriff’s Country “It’s an updated version of the American ‘blue sky’ aesthetic, where it’s the people you love,” Gorham says. “It’s darker because we’re dealing with crime, but it’s a city you want to live in and people you want to hang out with. And a lot of what USA Network was at the time — I mean, yeah, it was like physically being outside, seeing blue skies, but it was filled with colorful characters that you wanted to be around.

In this perspective, with Sheriff’s Country“you’re interested in Mickey, and you want to get to know her, and you like Boone, and you love Wes, and you want to go smoke a joint with [him]you want to hang around [station] and have Gina’s tea,” Gorham continues. “I think part of the reason the show is doing so well” — it’s already been renewed for season 2 — “is it’s just sort of exploited in this aspirational environment.”
