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?
Just as the show was finding its way. Edie is golden, and gives a brilliant performance in any role. Tommy deserved another season….this is why network TV sucks. Time for Netflix.
I really liked this show and disappointed that it won’t be back for Season Two. Not enough Females playing top roles as they are mostly lead by men. Sad.
I am very surprised and unhappy!!! I really looked forward to the show every week!!!!
This was a pretty good drama. Good, believable story lines and good cast of actors. Would of watched season 2 without question. Maybe it will get picked up by another network?
Added notes———————- 2 hours of Survivor tonight—— give me a break!
I really enjoyed that show. CBS made a mistake in canceling it.
That’s a shame that they are canceling “Tommy” a show that dealt with honesty and the courage to handle things as they should be handled in our real world. I love CBS and how you cover good issues so this disappoints me. I pray you are making the right decision
Great show…probably something really dumb will replace it… give it another season
Oh no! Tommy was my favorite new show this season. I hope that the cancellation had nothing to do with people objecting to her sexuall identity or being a strong women, both of which are looked down upon by many people in the USA.Very disappointing!
I was looking forward to a second season. Sadly, this show will probably be replaced by some ridiculous comedy show. Pretty soon we won’t be watching network tv at all.
I think it suck time you get a good show you take it off Yes i would have watch season 2,3,4,5 and so on
I totally agree why would the big eye cancel a good show in a good lineup . they’re just not thinking..leave it alone let it develop…
I loved the show…….sosooo disappointed to hear its not being renewed.
Great acting, it kept the viewer engaged…..I think its a BIG MISTAKE CBS.
Give it a Second Season, an opportunity to draw a bigger audience. How can you
cancel so soon, perhaps you didn’t promote it enough???
Got to agree with most of the comments here. I like the show, thought it was well-written, like the characters and actors, and I also think Ms. Falco deserves a better shot. Very disappointed…
Have to agree. Plots were interesting, characters interacted really well, character backgrounds hold your attention.
Weekly scenarios are very current issue in there ideas.
If anyone at the network knows how to read, please do not cancel this series. There are far worst shows that need to be shown the door!
Thought the show was great- dealt with important issues with great writing- loved Eddie Falcon- Sorry it was cancelled- very disappointed- J. Goldman
