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 most definitely would have watched another Season of “Tommy”. I thought the show was well written demonstrated timely sensitive topics that were interesting… fast paced storylines… In a day and age where we are attempting to abolish discrimination towards race alternate life styles gender issues in our world I feel Tommy addressed this topic well.. Sorry to see it cancelled.
Unbelievable! This is a fantastic show! How can you cancel Edie Falco? The acting must be TOO good. Please give it a chance… Different night maybe? Please bring it back.
I really lived the show, I am disappointed it was canceled
LOVED THE SHOW, PLEASE BRING IT BACK
I loved this show!!! I am so sad to hear it was cancelled after 12 episodes.
LOVED the show!!! Bring it back please!!!
Thats bad!!!! I loved it …. A Strong woman with great values…I Guess it is still not popular!!! Well..
I don’t think the public knows what the show is about. I really like it. Good stories and acting. Please give it another chance.
Husband & I both thoroughly enjoyed this show – acting, story line, etc. Can’t believe it’s cancelled
Such a good show and CBS couldn’t even give it half a chance, with only 12 episodes (most get at least 13). Bring it back in a different time slot and let Edie work her magic. Terrific actress, good story line. What’s not to like?
Tommy was a great program that showed integrity and a stand up honest leader great show ,one if the best on TV,Shane on whoever decided to cancel it
This is a great show. You’re making a big mistake
well, too bad this was cancelled, although I guess a show with the lead a woman, and lesbian at that, flew in the face of too much patriarchal power, the sadly ingrained ethos (so to speak) of the average TV viewer – on the other hand, perhaps just the skillful writing, fully-formed characters and good acting made it too high-brow . . . what ran against it on other channels? dominating bullies, most likely, huh? I’ll miss it, and I miss VERY little commercial TV!!!!!!!!!
I watched this weekly, and really enjoyed the story line. It was refreshing to watch something that mirrored a bit of reality and the fact that the lead was a woman was just a bonus….shame on you CBS for cancelling this show. I hope it reappears somewhere.
One of my favorite shows this season. Please reconsider and renew this show..If not I hope that another station will pick it up. I would renew my Netflix subscription if they would pick it up.
