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?
Seems like a sexist move. I watched Tommy only becus it had so good strong female lead and
all the suportig actors so great. No season 2 it is nuts CBS. Ther ar far to meny shows with only bla bla in it and the one with Quality getting canceland. Tommy is a great show
I’m very disappointed in CBS. To cancel a show that had substance and awesome story lines , is completely unexplicable to me. Especially, when shows like the bacholor continue on.
Was it because the star of the show was female and centered around her, who by the way, was absolutley perfect in this show. If CBS is paying attention to these posts I hope that Tommy is picked up for another season
We love this show!!!! I can’t believe CBS did not renew. It is one of the best shows on TV.
I really enjoyed Tommy, the last episode last night was awesome. And I agree with one of the comments I saw about Bachelor and Bachelorette unbelievable. Smart shows are canceled, very frustrating.
Tommy was a smart and fresh series. I am very disappointed in CBS canceling it while keeping old, redundant series running. I hope CBS will reconsider its decision. At the very least put it in CBS All Access.
Please try this wonderful show earlier in the evening to give people a chance to know it. It’s great to see someone trying to beat the odds and actually win. The fact it’s a woman and a Lesbian checks off two boxes for most viewers. I’m not a fan of bachelorette or reality tv.and I can see this being on at 7 or 8 until people get to know it on a Thursday or Saturday
Tommy is a great show. Why can’t yoU try a season with an earlier time so people will get to know it and may follow it if later. There are so few good shows on Thursday nights and saturdays.
Very disappointed to find out today that “Tommy” is cancelled. Needs another season to build up an audience.
My husband and I love Tommy. The acting is superb and the story has intrigue without gratuitous violence. The story had surprising twists and turns. Please renew it.
I enjoyed the show Tommy. Edie Falco and the rest of the cast are really good. I will miss this show. Bring it back!! Wouldn’t it be nice to see Tommy and Frank Reagan at the same Police Commissioners’ conference.
I agree why do they have to put on the garbage stuff like The bachelorette on The bachelor. Tommy is a good show good scripts last night’s ending was wonderful I loved . You didn’t even give it a chance as usual. You should hear the show with deputy on another channel so they can have a crossover show try to use your imagination for real shows not this other garbage I love Tommy please bring it back
Another great male chauvinism decision to canceled that show.
Another good show cancelled and garbage shows get renewed. Tired of getting sucked into a new show and the they pull the tug out from under you.
This is a GREAT show especially for woman!
Big mistake CBS!!
My entire neighborhood watch, then share comments
Big mistake cancelling Tommy! Shame on you CBS
