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?
I really enjoyed the show. I can’t believe it’s cancelled!
A fresh take on cop shows needs to be renewed! What a waste to cancel this show. It should be renewed!
What?! I’m shocked! Well written, great acting. Nothing like it on Tv. Diversity. I say give it another shot and move the time slot and I’m sure it will do better. It is a great show!
Yes. I loved this show and am so disappointed.
Yes I would have watched season 2 of Tommy. I can’t believe that they are cancelling it. I can’t understand WHY they cancel good shows like Tommy and Deputy and put on these stupid shows like the Simpson’s, or Survivor. I am very disappointed that they did this.
I am with you. TOMMY AND GOD FRIENDED ME WERE WORTH WATCHING….absolutely hate The Unicorn and the FBI shows..just crap.
Tommy, God Friended Me, Man With A Plan, and I could go in and on. Not to mention dumping Jeff Glor on CBS Evening
News. What is wrong with CBS? I am a All Access subscriber, at least right now, but I don’t think I will renew my paid access anymore. They seriously have a way of killing anything good to watch. All I have left is All Rise and Blue Bloods.
Guess I can put that $10 a month on Netflix and screw network TV.
I can’t believe they’re cancelling Tommy. It was such a refreshing change from all the cop shows in other networks. It’s a real
Shame bc I think you had a great thing going. I will miss there being another season very much.
Yes!!! We loved the show! So disappointed to hear that they are cancelling!
We, my husband & I, are EXTREMELY disappointed to read that Tommy is cancelled. It was so refreshing to have a completely different take on a police show. There are so many other Shows that rightly deserve the ax, unfortunately we cannot name show names. Could we please have a viewer suggestion box for shows that we would like to see removed??? It seems to be the trend that the networks are mainly focusing on reality shows or phoney retakes on old shows …. boy would I love to clean house on those!!! Just my opinion. Please reconsider season TWO… Read more »
It is one of the few shows I really enjoyed. Don’t think you gave it a chance. Very little promotion for the show. Very disappointed
We liked the show at first but then writers seemed to forget what they wrote in previous episodes. Have noticed this on a number of shows this year.
This is a fantastic series. It is the one series we looked forward to on Thursday’s. Thanks a lot CBS.
Loved Tommy and really disappointed that it is canceled. Such impatience and short sidedness thst the networks exercise these days. Edie Falco rocks!
Very big mistake by cancelling Tommy. It was a good show i looked forward to watching. They leave the dumb shows on and take the good shows off. They are leaving Bob Abishola on. You ought to reconsider taking that off and leaving Tommy on. I don’t know about these executives. Who makes these decisions.
My wife and I both liked this show. Sorry to see it go, they just do not give shows a chance anymore.
