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?
Big mistake. You’re crazy taking this show off the air. It’s a really good show that we look forward to seeing every week. This show far surpasses some of the crap on the air right now. Maybe Netflix is listening.
Great show – a female lead in a cop show. We want a season 2!
Why is this show being cancelled. Love this show. One of the best new shows on TV. Should be back for a second season.
Tommy was a great show. Disappointed it won’t be coming back for season 2.
Please bring Tommy back! My husband and I looked forward to seeing it every week.
I really enjoy this show and hope it can get a chance to build a following. As the person who brought the original case regarding gender bias in police hiring I found this program well written with appealing characters and a great story line.
I’ve liked “Tommy” from the beginning and believe it to be the best series since ‘Madame Secretary. It is the only hour of television I will go out of my way not to miss. I can’t believe you are not doing a second season.
When we watched the first episode of Tommy we were hooked. It had great casting, interesting story lines and multiple cultural inclusiveness. When most new shows are variations on a theme, Tommy script writers seemed to be trying to point out social issues and at the same time pointing out that there might be better options for achieving optimal results for all. This was a show worth watching. We hope that it will get the chance it deserves, and continue with future seasons
Yes, please keep Tommy on the air. It is a good show, well acted and exciting. It should be given another chance.
Tommy has been one of the best programs this year, hope you change your mind about canceling
It was a great show. Bring it back!
I would have definitely watched the second season. Very disappointed.
Tommy is great! A great combination of characters. One of the few shows I watched. Please renew
I love Tommy! Watch it every week on CBS all access..please get this back! Strong female roles need to be seen.
I throughly enjoy this show! A show for grown ups. To bad the network doesn’t realize we spend money too!
