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?
A cast of good actors, good characters, and good story lines. Of course CBS must cancel. I watched every episode and would have watched season 2. I’m completely disappointed in CBS.
I Love this show!! I absolutely can Not understand what CBS is thinking! Major disappointment, very disappointed in CBS!
Tommy is the best show on not just CBS but all networks in the last 10 years. Edie Falco is amazing in this series. Please Please. Give it another season. I am 100 percent sure as more people discover it, it will be hugely popular. No more stupid reality shows please. Boring us to tears. Refuse to watch anymore!!!!
Is there another show called Tommy? Because you certainly were not watching the same show I was. To think a police chief in LAPD makes daily applications at crime scenes of ordinary nature or interrogates suspects is ludicrous. They obviously had no actual police consultants helping them because uniforms were incorrect and a female office had multiple ear piercings (only allowed 2 in the lapd)
I really liked the program. Disappointed that it wasn’t given a better chance.
This is one of my favorite CBS drama series. I never missed it. A very good show. Please reconsider.
Honestly CBS is the most network in my home.
I am so disappointed that Tommy is being cancelled. Edie Falco and her colleagues do an incredible job in their roles and the series was exciting and well written. Characters were well developed, and I was so looking forward to getting to know them better during the 2nd season. There is so much fluff on tv these days – it’s a shame that a show of this caliber has been cancelled.
Are you kidding me? “Tommy” has been cancelled?
CBS, you finally get an excellent show and now you’re cancelling? This is awful! I will continue to watch my favorite shows that you are renewing, but I will not get involved in any new shows with CBS again. And this is the reason!!
This series was a smart series. I will miss it.
It was a great show- -acting and script.
Everyone I know that watched it loved it.
Hope they reconsider.
Big mistake.
Very disappointed in the cancellation! Good show that kept getting better.
Great show, loved it, would have definitely watched a second season. Needs a 9pm time slot. The finale set up the next season so nicely and to find CBS is not renewing is very disappointing. If this show fails it is for no other reason then CBS mismanaged it’s launch, time slot and promotion. Such a shame.
Totally agree. A 9pm time slot would have been ideal. But I would still watch no matter what time it was on.
This series was a smart thought provoking series. I will miss this program!
Tommy was a smart show with some great role models. Worth watching just for Edie Falco. Sorry to see it go. The finale was kind of rushed, but I guess they had to wrap things up in a hurry
I’m just sick that you’ve canceled Tommy! Why does such a quality show have to be canceled?
This was a smart series. I will miss this!
That is a great series. Please reconsider. That’s a wrong move wrong decision. Give at least a 2nd chance. Thank you ahead of time for listening.
I agree
Very disappointed that it’s cancelled. Really enjoyed the show
