I know we have a few weeks to go; but I couldn't help dropping a tidbit about Lauren Holly guest starring: http://www.spoilertv.com/2010/06/covert-affairs-and-burn-notice-casting.html
So, it looks like the CIA's using Annie as bait to reel in her boyfriend. Kind of a flip side to Burn Notice?
March 26, 2014 PERREY REEVES TAPPED AS A RECURRING GUEST STAR IN USA NETWORK'S GLOBE-TROTTING ESPIONAGE DRAMA "COVERT AFFAIRS" Highly Anticipated Fifth Season to Premiere Summer 2014 UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – March 26, 2014 – Perrey Reeves ("Entourage") has been tapped as a recurring guest star in USA Network's globe-trotting hit espionage series, COVERT AFFAIRS, when it returns this summer for its fifth season. Reeves will star as Caitlyn -- the smart, confident COO at McQuaid Security, Ryan McQuaid's (recently announced series regular Nic Bishop) private military company. As a top female executive in an industry still run like a boys' club, she's worked tirelessly to get where she is today. Caitlyn knows how to command a room and isn't afraid to speak her mind. Reeves has an extensive body of work that features credits in film and numerous hit television series. Film credits include "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," "Old School," "The Suburbans," "Smoke Signals," "Kicking and Screaming," and "Child's Play 3." She is currently shooting the "Entourage" movie, reprising her role of Melissa Gold from the hit television series. Guest star credits include WHITE COLLAR, ROYAL PAINS, "NCIS," "Hawaii Five-0," "Private Practice," "Castle," "Grey's Anatomy," "Medium" and "The X-Files." She is represented by Mosaic, APA and attorney Roger Haber. COVERT AFFAIRS stars Golden Globe®-nominated Piper Perabo ("Looper"), Christopher Gorham ("Ugly Betty"), Hill Harper (CSI: NY), Kari Matchett ("Invasion"), Peter Gallagher ("The O.C.") and Bishop ("Body of Proof"). Season five of the series picks up after CIA operative Annie fakes her death, alters her identity and goes deep undercover in the streets of Hong Kong to defeat her most cunning opponent, Henry Wilcox (guest star Gregory Itzin). The new season will examine the price Annie will have to pay for this risky maneuver and the implications it will have on her relationships – both personally and professionally – as she attempts to re-emerge into the world she once knew. From Universal Cable Productions, COVERT AFFAIRS was created, written and executive produced by Matt Corman and Chris Ord, and is executive produced by Doug Liman (SUITS, the "Bourne" trilogy, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"), David Bartis (SUITS, "The O.C.") and Gene Klein (SUITS) through Hypnotic. Stephen Kay ("Sons of Anarchy"), Sean Ryerson ("Bait," "Beyond Rangoon”), Stephen Hootstein ("What About Brian") and Henry Alonso Myers ("Ugly Betty," "Chuck") also serve as executive producers. The series shoots in Toronto.
