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 enjoyed watching Tommy. Showing an outspoken, compassionate, truthful female at the top of a male-dominated field was refreshing and interesting. It’s frustrating to invest time in a new show only to have the network cancel it after only one season. Give it a chance!
Really enjoyed this show and felt it was hitting its stride. Disappointed.
Tommy is a terrific show, one of the few we watch. Great characters and story line. We are very disappointed it is cancelled.
I am very disappointed there will be no season 2.
Both my wife and I enjoyed Tommy. We added it to are DVR list of programs. Looked forward to watching it each week. The story was well written and could very well be describing real life in our different police departments. Both of us are very disappointed this show was canceled while other shows with much lesser quality remain. Please reconsider dropping this show.
Rethink the cancellation. My husband and I enjoyed it so much and there are not that many shows we both like. Love Edie Falco. Bring it back, please.
Yes, we watch it. Thought it was realistic, present, and relevant. So sorry to see that once again, depicting an intelligent and interesting woman with a gritty background of what being “in power “ yet representing what is needed in society is being cancelled. BE a voice. Change the conversation by what is right for society and what should be real! (Note: I am a married woman with two children and a republican! So, all the “stuff” that bothers some, isn’t the focus of this well-developed show. What a shame you are bailing!)
I loved Tommy. Please dont cancel it.
So sad why why why This is one of cbs’s better show. fbi or fbi most wanted does not present as good a show as Tommy. Van you change your decision please please I want to see more of it
Oh no. I really likeTommy. It is well written and has a great cast. I am shocked the show has not been renewed for for another season. This was one of my go to programs on Thursday.
I looked forward to this show. It was different from what is normally portrayed as a cop show. I would watch a second season. It portrayed the behind the scenes of of law enforcement problems.
This show actually had substance and addressed real issues in an intelligent way. Why does it seem like every decent show for adults that is well scripted, non-animated and doesn’t have a soap opera plot is being canceled? Yet the Bachelor franchise can have ten different versions going? Please keep shows like Tommy back on!!!
We loved Tommy. If it had low ratimgs you either didn’t promote it properly, or your viewers don’t know quality when they see it.
Do not cancel Tommy. Great show, fantastic acting
Bummer! I like “Tommy”. It has a great cast and good stories
