Unfortunately, those hopes proved to be false as the USA Network decided the fate of the show based on its commercial value. “Graceland” did fairly well with an average of 1.7 million viewers every week, 784,000 of those viewers were from the highly sought-after 18 to 49 years old adult demographic.
Leaving a huge cliffhanger during the Season 3 finale of “Graceland” is a big gamble on the part of the producers of the TV series. It is a risk because should the network does not decide to renew the show for a fourth season, and no other network or streaming service decides to rescue it from cancellation, they will only draw the frustration of the fans, the way it happened to “Constantine” on The CW, and “The Following” on Fox this year.
The Season 3 finale showed ICE Agent Dale Jakes, played by Brandon Jay McLaren, getting into a fight with FBI Agent Jose ‘Johnny’ Tuturro, played by Manny Montana, and then taking the $9 million loot and leaves with Courtney.
While it was not surprising to say the least, Jakes has apparently turned south. But it was not just Jakes because soon after, Paul Briggs, played by Daniel Sunjata, urged Sean Logan, played by Lawrence Gilliard Jr., to sign a Homeland Security report to make sure that Martun Sarkissian, played by Peter Stormare, will rot in jail.
