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’m so disappointed Tommy has been cancelled. I thoroughly enjoyed that series. Please reconsider. I was not an Edie Falco fan until now. Her role was fabulous.
PLEASE GIVE THE SHOW ANOTHER CHANCE. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT ????
WE DON’T WATCH MANY SHOWS ON CBS AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE FEW SHOWS OUR FAMILY ENJOYED. PLEASE RENEW THE SEASON.
THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE
I love Tommy. It is a great show. I hope they reconsider.
Please renew this series…it is one of the best.
I really enjoyed “Tommy”. I am sad to hear it has been cancelled. I wish the CBS would give it another chance.
Very disappointed that Tommy was cancelled! Loved the determination of her character!
I liked Tommy
Please give the series,Tommy, another chance to prove itself. Love that a woman is chief of Police. Excellent representation of politics and solutions by the writers. CBS needs to be on the cutting edge of controversy, and this show is it!
Tommy was the only show I would watch on CBS. Mom is the worst show as far as the acting and writing and yet is still on going. I am also tired of all the violence in the cop shows, etc on CBS. Also the time slot was terrible against one of the more popular NBC shows.
This is a show that takes it’s time to build a following. The show deals with so many important social issues; interracial children, lesbian relationships, gender suppression in the workplace, and community relationships with the police force. The acting is superb, the show needs a second season and appropriate lead in shows to solidify an audience base, that any network should be proud of.
Yes to season 2. Please renew the show.
My whole family & I have been watching Tommy & a have loved it & all the characters. Edie & the rest of the cast did a great job!! Can’t believe it would be canceled after only one season. Ridiculous!!
I watch so few TV shows but never missed an episode of “Tommy”. Interesting story lines and all the actors were great. VERY disappointed in CBS…praying another network picks it up for a 2nd season.
A lot of good shows get canceled when there are already established good shows on other networks during the same time slot. Why cancel instead of putting them in a different time slot and give the views a chance to watch the new show.
Omg this show is fabulous why cancel a good show. RENEW IT PLEASE
We watched this show religiously. Woman in a man’s world is really good television. Writers allowed too much noise to interfere with the core message. Focus on compassionate but firm leadership and add the personal relationships to evolve as characters develop.
Bring it back
Are you people completely out of touch … Tommy is the ONLY Thursday night series worth watching!! Ms Falco doesn’t deserve this…. finally CBS was doing something worthwhile. Clue in people!!!!
