Emma and Charles won’t get to continue to work things out during the 2023-24 broadcast season. ABC has cancelled The Company You Keep, so that it won’t return for a second season.
A drama series, The Company You Keep TV show stars Milo Ventimiglia, Catherine Haena Kim, William Fichtner, Tim Chiou, Freda Foh Shen, James Saito, Sarah Wayne Callies, Felisha Terrell, and Polly Draper. Sachin Bhatt recurs. In the story, Charlie Nicoletti (Ventimiglia) is a masterful high-stakes con man who commits crimes with his family. He also runs a bar with his bossy older sister, Birdie (Calles). Their con parents are former steelworker Leo (Fichtner) and his wife, Fran (Draper). Meanwhile, Emma Hill (Kim) is an undercover CIA officer. Her father, Joseph Hill (Saito), is the patriarch of a political dynasty and is married to Grace (Shen). Emma’s brother, David (Chiou), is an incumbent Senator running for re-election. Charlie and Emma meet and a night of passion leads to love between two people who are unknowingly on a collision course professionally. While Charlie ramps up the “family business” so he can get out for good, Emma’s closing in on the vengeful criminal who holds Charlie’s family debts in hand — forcing them to reckon with the lies they’ve told so they can save themselves and their families from disastrous consequences.
Airing on Sunday nights, the first season of The Company You Keep averages a 0.25 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.23 million viewers. It was one of ABC’s lowest-rated scripted series in the demo and total viewers compared to other shows on the network.
The show added 70% more viewers in the live+7 day ratings, but that was not good enough to secure a second-season renewal.
The first season of 1o episodes finished airing last Sunday night.
What do you think? Have you enjoyed watching The Company You Keep TV show on ABC? Are you disappointed that this drama won’t see a second season? Did you suspect that it might be cancelled?
I don’t agree,I was looking forward to next season….
Fantastic Show! Do not cancel this program!! Please renew The Company You Keep!
I’m so upset that ABC is canceling this show. I didn’t watch it live but recorded & watched it during the week as I’m sure others did. It was a great show & the only one I watched on network tv!!!!
This is a bad decision, did they take into account that ABC is not on Dish or DirecTV when looking at ratings??
Look, this was a good show that was fresh, entertaining, not too serious, but intriguing enough for me to want to see what happens next. I’m so sick of all the doctor/hospital/police/paramedic/firefighter dramas. TCYK was fun to watch. Who counted the ratings? Did they consider people watching at later dates? Bc most people record and watch several at a time. I did. ABC should reconsider and air this on a different day of the week at 8:30 or 9.
I am SO upset who is making these decisions???? Please reconsider at least try a season 2 you are making a mistake!!
I am beyond upset by this. The Company You Keep was an amazing show and got better and better with each episode. The way season 1 ended set us up nicely for another season, and then you just took it away from us. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring this show back! The world needs the hotness that is my main man Milo on air every week.
The Company You Keep is one of my favorite shows on TV. I cannot believe it has been cancelled!! I was really looking forward to the next season. Isn’t there something that can be done to help bring it back?
Well this is total bs. Meantime these reality tv shows boring as hell continue. I’m afraid you screwed yourselves with this one. All the hype in previews and you don’t even give it a fighting chance. Digusting
100%!!! This is an awful decision!!
I REALLY liked this show- maybe another network will pick it up it is better than same old law and order it is so boring after look 1 season might as well I watch SUITS
I am so upset that “The Company you Keep” was canceled. It’s been years since an intelligent, gripping show was on broadcast TV. I eagerly anticipated each next episode. I think the show didn’t get too much viewership because the average person nowadays is a moron and only likes stupid unscripted videos and talent shows, and reality series (which are not reality).
I REALLY liked this show- maybe another network will pick it up. NBC was lucky for Milo Ventimiglia in the past.
This show is one of the reasons I still have “Peacock” due to the airing time on NBC
Oops! I meant to say “Hulu”, not Peacock and “ABC”, not NBC. My Bad!
I’m shocked! This is really a great show with original story line and great cast. Much better than that “True Lies” on the other network that I have already removed from my “Favorites List” because it falls short in every category, but this one? Unbelievable that it’s not returning.
Personally, I feel this is a huge mistake canceling The Company You Keep. It’s one of the best series I’ve seen on TV this year. It’s smart, well thought out and full of surprises. I think it needs a second year to pull people in and maybe a better time slot
