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?
This show was one of the best shows on tv this year. It should not have been canceled. Please give it another chance!
I love Tommy! So disappointed in CBS. Cancelling a show with a strong, brilliant, LGBTQ main character! Continuing so many lesser shows. I hope they can reconsider; there is no other reason for my household to tune into CBS.
Tommy is a great show so of course it gets cancelled. Why is it good shows get cancelled so these idiotic supposed reality shows remain on. I am so sick of the lack of good programming. I hope another channel picks it up. CBS STANDS FOR CANT BELIEVE SHOWS-CANCELLED.
I think network execs have been watching a different show than I have. Unless it’s hard for them to back a show with a solid, ethical female lead?…
I can’t believe the series Tommy is being cancelled. Its such a great show.
Tommy is one of the best shows this season!! Something is very wrong with this decision!!
Love Tommy, please don’t cancel the best show on CBS, look forward to it every week.
I’m so upset about Tommy being cancelled! It was so good! Here comes more reality garbage… what a poor decision CBS made. Maybe someone else can pick it up???? Wow… so disappointed
My wife and I really enjoyed Tommy, what is wrong with you guys? Is it the female hookup, the female chief of police? Or is it the political pressure to be RIGHT !(on the right) Too sad…
Aggregated that Tommy was cancelled. One of the good shows on TV.
This show is amazing and it’s baffling to me that it’s being cancelled. Was it TOO thought provoking or engaging or something? The characters are amazing and the morality/ethics issues that are touched on are complex and interesting. It literally has everything: it’s well written, fast paced, has overlapping and intertwined story lines, and is relevant to real world issues. It’s truly shameful how viewership and politics drive television because this show is of high quality and should be continued regardless of margins or any other factors.
It’s just good.
Very unhappy. Loved the show.
I loved Tommy, I thought it was a good addition w/new twist. I don’t think it was given a fair shot. One more season and a better time slot, I think it would’ve been a success.
Thought TV Series Tommy was a great show!!
So disappointed that this show has been canceled! So much garbage on tv, hard to find good scripted shows like this anymore.
