Tommy won’t be back on patrol next season. CBS just announced that the network has cancelled the cop drama and won’t be ordering a second season for the 2020-21 broadcast season.
The Tommy series revolves around a former high-ranking NYPD officer who becomes the first female chief of police for Los Angeles. Abigail “Tommy” Thomas (Edie Falco) uses unflinching honesty and hardball tactics to keep social, political, and national security issues from hindering effective law enforcement in the Southland. The CBS drama also stars Michael Chernus, Adelaide Clemens, Thomas Sadoski, Russell G. Jones, Olivia Lucy Phillip, Joseph Lyle Taylor, and Vladimir Caamaño.
Airing on Thursday nights, the first season of Tommy averages a 0.49 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 4.85 million viewers. The cancellation doesn’t come as much of a surprise as the drama is the network’s lowest-rated scripted series.
The 12th and final installment of Tommy airs tomorrow night.
What do you think? Do you watch Tommy? Would you have watched season two on CBS?
How sad that this program wasn’t given a chance. I loved watching it since it deals with everything that the world is dealing with in these times. Maybe CBS should take a second look at some of the programs that will be renewed and change their minds.
Why cancel this show? Saw every episode and loved it. Just like God Friended Me. Gone. Another good one. Why go to the trouble of filming new shows when the ones you already have are so good?
That stinks, this was a good show!!!!
I loved Tommy!!!
We loved that show. We never expected this very good show to be cancel.
That is not fare and we are angry at C B S. What are they thinking ?
We would appreciate very much that the big brass reconsider.
Do not forget you should consider what the consumer likes.
I loved the show! The story line was getting so interesting!
The plot has gotten more interesting with a long arc concerning political and police corruption. There is no satisfactory way to finish this story line in one episode, especially an episode that has already been filmed.
CBS will leave us hanging with the message that liars and cheaters win, corruption is just the cost of doing business and telling half a story is good enough.
What was the reason? It was a great show with a strong, like able, female lead. We need more shows like that!! Any chance we can petition to get it back??
Loved the show! Sorry to see it go. Good strong characters. I definitely would have watched another season.
Tommy is one of my favorite shows that I always look forward to watching. A true loss.
What a shame………………….well written, actors excellent. I cannot believe the junk that continues to be renewed. Some other channel/company/station should pick this one up.
I can’t believe that CBS cancelled this show.
I watched every episode and Edie Falco is a fabulous actress. Hopefully it gets picked up by a network that appreciates good acting.
Love the show. Edie Falco is outstanding!
Very disappointing it’s been cancelled. Never missed an episode and was looking forward to watching it next season. One of our favorite shows!!!!
I’m so upset our family looks forward to Thursday evening we watch Tommy as a family! So upset with CBS
I really liked this show. I swear everything I like, they cancel. WTF??
I agree.
