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?
So sad to hear Tommy wasn’t renewed. Edie Falco was fabulous in her role.
Cannot believe you cancelled Tommy! It’s a great show and I am ticked off that you are not renewing. It is so much better than those ridiculous, garbage realty shows that clog the airways. Shame on you!
I love the show Tommy. My whole family watches it every week. It’s a great series, hope you bring the series back.
I’m really sorry to see this show canceled. I’m not in you young demo age group, but we matter too. I always watched or taped the show. I prefer shows like this as opposed to reality and citcoms. It would be a good idea to rethink the decision. You did not give this show a real chance.
You need to renew Tommy!! I can’t believe you cancelled it, it is a great show. I’m going to stop watching CBS. You keep cancelling the shows I like. Bring Tommy back!!!!
Linda, I totally agree with you. I can think of some other inane shows that should have cancelled!
Couldn’t agree more ladies. There are numerous ridiculous series taking up wasted air time. Tommy should be renewed!
This show is the best! How could it be cancelled? Edie Falco is so gifted and the story line was great! We looked forward to it every week! This is a mistake!
I really enjoyed seeing a female do such a strong role.lm disappointed in it’s cancellation.
Tommy is our favorite series. It is a high quality show with a great cast and much more worthwhile than most of the drivel on the major networks. Cancelling one of the few good shows is why we mostly watch Netflix and Amazon series.
Very bad decision. We loved this show.
Loved Tommy, watched or recorded it to watch later sorry to see it go CBS should reconsider
I am so aggravated. They never gave this show a chance!! I’m cutting the cord anyway now. All the shows I like never make it. Hope all the networks lose money over keeping the crappy stuff.
It is getting harder to find good quality programs to watch, all we seem to get are staged reality shows. It is so disappointing to see this show canceled, there were good characters and story lines. Shame on you CBS.
Very disappointed – Husband and I both hought it was a great show – different than most typical cop shows. Would love to see more of the life of the numerous characters.
My husband and I both felt the show “Tommy” is well done and are disappointed that CBS has cancelled.
Bad decision. This is a good show.
