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?
Sometimes out the gate ratings shouldn’t determine whether a show is renewed or cancelled. This was a good one!
This was my new favorite show. I’m shocked that it was cancelled.
I am so frustrated that they have canceled one of my favorite shows. Edie Falco was amazing and had a terrific supporting case. Come on CBS, reconsider
We LOVE this show! Excellent acting, writing, characters—we look forward to it every week. PLEASE RECONSIDER ITS CANCELLATION!
Very disappointed, great show,
CBS FAILED THIS SHOW AND ONE EXCELLENT ACTOR.
of course again, another network not giving the show a chance to find its footing. the CBS network failed the show. I think trying to push too much too fast, too many story lines spread too far out..I got that. I saw it. that is what led to the fall of the show. I am pisssed that the corruption of mend continues to get away with it, and no one will ever know or be able to watch the take down of the mayor and the the realtor that continues to grease the pockets of the corrupt officials. the intent… Read more »
I loved this show!!!! I love Edie Falco!!
Why, oh why are you canceling???? It’s such a unique and wonderful show!!! So many layers!
Enjoyed “Tommy” …good show with good story lines, all making it come together with actors who know how bring each character alive…
Sorry you cancelled the show, we looked forward to watching it each week.
I’m so disappointed that Tommy is cancelled. My husband and I watch every Thursday. I am really going to miss it. Sometimes, like now, I feel like giving up TV and just read a good book after I get home from work.
This is a great show. Wht a waste to cancel it. I’ve really enjoyed watching. For women who have been pioneers in their careers, Tommys story is all to real. This is reality TV for it depicts many womens career realities. It’s a mistake to cancel it. There are 3 NCIS shows….all the same format. Tommy is a nice change. Try the 50 + demograhpic…not the 20 somethings.
I am disappointed, I really enjoyed the episodes and story lines. It’s a shame.
Why is Tommy not renewed for another season? It’s a great show! I loved the first season and many of my friends also watched & enjoyed the show!
CBS big mistake….Could of just put Tommy on Wednesday night before SWAT…then put Evil back on Thursday…..I loved watching this show. I stop what I’m doing to see this show.
I am really ticked. All the junk on CBS and they cancel the one good, adult police drama. Bye
bye CBS!!!
