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?
Yes, my husband and I definitely would have watched a second season. Very disappointed in CBS decision. Not looking forward to any more reality television.
“What you run is an expression of who you are. What it is – you are.” Bland, formulaic shows are all too common and Tommy is unique and interesting. It’s a real shame it’s being cut.
Hopefully some other station would pick it up. I really liked the show.
We are disappointed to find out that Tommy will not be returning. We enjoyed the show and was looking forward to Season 2.
Too bad I really enjoyed Tommy as season went on
Too bad I started to really enjoy Tommy
Please reconsider…great cast..great show… cast
CBS never gives good shows a chance. Tommy is another example. I would’ve definitely watched a second season.
Someone is making a big mistake. Tommy is one of the best new shows…I never miss it… Edie
Falco is great. Please reconsider.
Enough of these stupid reality shows….they should be cancelled, not Tommy.
Under no circumstances would I waste another minute watching this turkey
Why do stations cancel shows that well acted and written, with great ratings. But let’s just keep airing reality (if you could ever call them that) shows. Shows that don’t have creativity and some form of intelligence. Another bad move and loss of a great show.
This show is fabulous! Don’t understand why more people haven’t discovered it. Wow.
Don’t cancel. Loved this show
Loved the show “Tommy”. Edie Falco was amazing! Definitely would have watched another season!
BAD MOVE to cancel Tommy! I’m losing faith in CBS!
