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?
I would have continued watching but would have liked less of her personal life and more police drama..sometimes, there were too many complex storylines for one show..they detracted from her great acting ability for the part she playef….indicating personal story lines, without edifying. are sufficiently effective…
The show wasn’t given much of a chance to prove itself. I watched it from the beginning, and really enjoyed the program. A different time slot and/or day probably would have helped.
Why is it that all the good shows get cancelled – LOVED Tommy!!!!!
What a shame! There is so much crap on TV and you have to cancel a great show like Tommy. Edie Falco is awesome as well as the rest of the great cast. It’s one show on Network TV that I look forward to watching. The characters were really starting to grow and I couldn’t wait for the next episode to see what would happen next. I will greatly miss this show.
So disappointed! I love the show and Edie Falco, too. What will I watch instead? Very upset.
PLEASE RECONSIDER AND KEEP “TOMMY,” a great, positive show! Every episode was enjoyable. Also liked your other Thursday canceled shows, plus “God Friended Me.” Thank you.
This was by far my favorite show of the season! Right behind God Friended me which CBS cancelled also!
Of course a show about a strong female would be cancelled. This was a great show and should be continued. Please reconsider!!
We love/loved Tommy. Great to see a strong and reasonable woman in charge. Very disappointed that it’s been cancelled. Why????
We watch!
Really this was one of the better shows….keep it on
Found the program very interesting and at an excellent intellectual level. Not just shooting of guns, high speed chases and poor dialogue as so many police programs are portrayed. Very disappointed that it has been cancelled.
Keep Tommy for another season. One of the best story lines. Tommy covers new ground for a cop story.
BOO HISS! So sorry it’s been cancelled. Getting better with every episode.
Why are you canceling Man with a Plan and Tommy? I love these shows. I am so tired of reality shows. Good ones come along and you cancel them. Makes me was angry. Very angry!
