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 AM sick to my stomach over seeing this horrible news! This was truly one of the best new shows that had come out! I cannot believe it. ABC you just lost me, totally
Very Upset, WHY WAS IR CANCELED
I really enjoyed this show very much! I’m very disappointed to learn that there will be no Season 2.
Please don’t cancel it, The company You keep is different from other series, I couldn’t wait to see all the episodes. Please Sir or Ma’am, continue the series or I will be depressed for a long time
Absolutely disgusted to find out they are going to cancel The Company You Keep.Such a good show, after only one season , so unfair to not even give the show, the cast, or the viewers, a decent chance! I am also saddened to see that Big Sky and Alaska Daily will get the axe as well. I watched every episode of all 3 of these shows! 🙁
This was the first show on a major network which I regularly watched in a very long time . It was smart and witty and engaging . Nothing but trash reality and repetitive formula competition shows left on the networks now .
I really enjoyed this show! It was one of the few TV shows I looked forward to watching! Too bad.
Really enjoyed the show and characters. It deserves better!
So upset this show is being cancelled!!!!!
Please don’t cancel The Company You Keep! It was one of the best new shows.
I love this show. I feel sometimes networks do not give people time to find shows now that many people stream instead of watching live. I wish they would reconsider as well.
This show has a great premise and keeps you engaged. Every show that I get invested in ABC cancels. This show should be given a chance, people want to see season 2.
I’m so disappointed this show was cancelled. I thought it was fantastic. Fresh, atypical, the cast was great. Really had you trying to guess the outcome
My wife and I loved watching The Company You keep! It was one of the few shows we liked watching together! Please don’t cancel it. Give it another chance! We looked forward week after week to the upcoming episode. Please reconsider!
The Company You Keep is one of only two shows we watch on ABC. It has been a great series that we’ve really enjoyed and gotten involved with – great storyline, great acting, fast moving with a little bit of everything. We’ve so enjoyed the family interactions and really thought it would be a no brainer for renewal. Hopefully another channel will pick this up and develop it more – so much potential! So much better than watching ridiculous reality shows. If they cancel The Rookie I’ll never have reason to ever stop on ABC while perusing channels again.
