Say it isn’t so! Season 2 of Frankie Drake Mysteries has come to an end already? I’m sad, but what a ride it’s been. I’ve enjoyed this sophomore set of 10 episodes under new showrunner James Hurst. Interesting cases, killer guest cast in folks like Natalie Brown and Anthony Lemke and lead character advancement has been a joy. Seeing Mary has been a particular treat; new we need to learn more about Flo.
On Monday, it’s the second season finale. Here’s what the CBC has revealed about “Now You See Her,” written by James Hurst and directed by Ruba Nadda.
When a magician’s assistant is killed, Frankie goes undercover to find the culprit. But can she see clearly through the smoke and mirrors?
And, for the last time this year, my thoughts after watching a screener.
The magic man
Saving Hope and Burden of Truth fans will be happy to see Benjamin Ayres appear in Monday’s season finale as Ben Sellers, a magician who is key to the case. Other guest cast include Timothy Dowler-Coltman, Amy Groening, Raoul Bhaneja, Mishka Thébaud and Murdoch Mysteries fan favourite Nigel Bennett.
Trudy’s in charge
With Frankie going undercover, her right-hand woman steps into the lead investigator role. It’s a great opportunity for Trudy to show her stuff and progression as a sleuth. As for Mary? Well, magicians aren’t her favourite thing. Kind of like me when it comes to clowns.
Frankie Drake Mysteries airs Mondays at 9 p.m. on CBC.

Why has the Frankie Drake mysteries series been taken off the air?
I am also curious. Why has it disappeared. It was great fun and very interesting.
Season 2 of Frankie Drake has completed its run on CBC. We’re waiting to hear if Season 3 has been ordered.
I don’t have an answer, I’d like to know myself why it was taken off the air. I really enjoyed the show.

Is Frankie Drake returning for a season three?
Loved the show. Sick of reality shows how do they decide this anyway??
Loved Frankie Drake – please bring her show back!
Missing Frankie Drake and her charming colleagues. When can we look forward to Season 3?
We’re still waiting to hear from the CBC whether a third season has been ordered.
Frankie Drake is a fun series.
Having read some of the great mystery novels of Kerry Greenwood, the Phyrne Fisher Mysteries, I am curious as to whether the Frankie Drake mysteries are based on them.
