So the program Copper has been canceled, but has the final episode been released yet or has it yet to air?

The last episode of the season airs on Sunday. (And it ends at an interesting point in history.)

Is there any chance for Copper to be picked up by another channel?

This is fairly common for British (e.g., BBC) series. They don’t milk a sucessful series for all it’s worth and try to keep it on the air as long as possible (like, say, CBS has done with _ **CSI** _). They let it have a decent run and then choose to end it at an appropriate point.

If demand is great enough, they might bring it back, like they did with _ **Foyle’s War** _. This is one case where feedback in the form of fan letters not only could help but would probably be welcome to allow BBC America to gauge audience reaction.

But it’s not a British series; it’s a BBC America original.
