Production
A sixth season, consisting of 18 episodes, was ordered by USA Network on April 16, 2010.[9] This announcement came just over a month after the fourth season had completed airing. The season began in summer 2012.[10][11] Jeffrey Donovan stated in a pre-season interview that one of the show's long-standing characters will die during this season.[12]
Matt Nix wrote the first episode of the season, his twentieth credit for the series. The episode was directed by Stephen Surjik; it was his seventh directing credit for Burn Notice. Series star Jeffrey Donovan directed one episode as well, his second of the series and first since season 4.
