What’s This TV Show About?
A drama series airing on the ABC television network, 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.
Season One Ratings
The first season of The Company You Keep averaged a 0.25 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.23 million viewers. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled. Find out how The Company You Keep stacks up against other ABC TV shows.
The Company You Keep has been, so there won’t be a second season. Could it be revived someday? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will ABC cancel or renew The Company You Keep for season two? This is a challenging timeslot, but the network needs new dramas, and sister studio 20th Television produces the show. Despite lower-than-expected ratings, I think there’s a good chance the show will be renewed, possibly with tweaks made to the series in hope that the numbers will get better.

What do you think? Are you sorry that The Company You Keep TV show wasn’t renewed for a second season? Are you sorry that ABC cancelled this TV series instead?
Of all the networks, ABC is the most disappointing. After canceling Off The Map with multi-storyline cliffhanger, my daughter and I swore off all their shows. Of course, I got sucked in by Whiskey Cavalier….to date still in my TOP 3 shows ever! And I watch a lot of TV (recovering from surgery). I only started The Company We Keep because I thought with Milo headlining, it would stand a chance. For me it’s time to cancel ABC!!! SOOOO frustrating
One of the few good shows on TV, so of COURSE they canceled it! TV execs make weather forecasts seem accurate. I’m disappointed, but not surprised.
I just started binge-watching this the other day and just finished the last episode. I am saddened to read the show has not been picked up for a second season. I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! The characters are great (fun to see Sarah Wayne Callies and Bill Fichtner from Prison Break again!); they all have chemistry with each other and the premise of the show is interesting. I’m crossing my fingers another network picks it up.
I love this show so much I am now binging for the 3rd time. Thought I’d read it was canceled by ABC. Are they nuts? I hope that The Company You Keep gets that 2nd season it deserves.
The company you keep is so clever and entertaining there has to be a season 2
The writing with this show is excellent, and the twists and turns keep you coming back. I would love to see a season two
I love this show…from the start….great chemistry between the cast members…romance, action…WELL acted…and it’s cancelled…couldn’t believe it
Did you ever watch Whiskey Cavalier with Scott Foley? They canceled that too after one season and it WAS VERY similar.
Pleasssseeee keep! I have absolutely loved this series from the very 1st episode. I can’t wait to watch every week! I might be a little biased because I live in Baltimore and its awesome to see another series that is filmed with our surroundings.
Really enjoyed watching the company you keep. Hoping ABC does not cancel it
Love Milo please allow me to escape & dream with another season.
LOVE this show….please keep it!!!!
I have loved this show from the beginning! I love the families, the relationships and the premise…very exciting! And I loved, loved, loved the Season Finale…what a great story line set-up for a Season 2 renewal! Please do not cancel!
Good plot, one of my favorites hope it gets renewed.
Best show on TV.
Keep keep keep
