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?
My Husbamd and I really liked Tommy. I cannot understand why there were not more viewers. It needs a 2nd chance. The cancellation is very disappointing.
I really liked tommy it was well written but maybe politics and sexism got in the way of what the show was trying to say
I love Tommy & think it’s a great show!! Maybe if given another shot people will find it this summer during reruns.
A great show with excellent writers and fantastic actors. You made a big mistake with your underwhelming promotion. Not happy.
I’m so disappointed! It took me a couple of episodes to really get into the show. It’s not your typical “attractive movie star” cast making “feel good” episodes. Complicated characters dealing with complex situations…loved it!
A great show with excellent writers and exceptional actors. You did a miserable job promoting it. Not happy.
I LOVED Tommy! Sorry that it won’t be back at all!!
Tommy is a great show. Great scripts and acting. So disappointed to hear about cancellation. Best new series in a long time. Please reconsider!
We watch tommy faithfully
Great concept and well acted good scripts
Eddie Falcone is terrific
Suggest Different time slot, but we always taped it
Please keep it!
Very good series can’t believe CBS would cancel this show. I think it would do much better In a different time slot.
I generally don’t watch network television, until season two. Because the networks are so capricious. I liked this show. Edie Falco did a great job, as did the rest of the cast. The story line was ramping up nicely. It was starting to get interesting, so of course CBS cancelled it. They really didn’t give it a fair trial. Here’s hoping that Netflix or Starz picks it up.
That is sad that Tommy has been canceled. Young females need to see a strong female character doing the right thing. I certainly hope CBS brings TOMMY back. Give it a chance. There is so much more that Edie Falco and her role as Tommy can bring to TV. Rethink this please. This is coming from a person who has worked with at risk children.
I have watched “Tommy” all season and am disappointed that it is not being renewed.
Loved this show. Wish good shows could stay. To bad executives get to decide. Let people that REALLY watch TV have a say. Hopefully they will and can bring back.
This happens all the time with the good shows! Edie Falco is a great actress and did a wonderful job in this series. Think they should give it another season at least to see if their so called ratings improve. Makes you wonder who and how these ratings are gathered.
