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 like Tommy. If the finally was ton I missed it. I want the show renewed
I think it is a really good show. If Dick Van Dyke show had been taken off after one season which is what they wanted to what a disservice that would have been. Give it another season. Starting too many new shows every year and before you can figure out what’s on and if you like it it’s already pulled. I don’t watch shows except with DVR. Don’t imagine they get counted. Also you do realize that people over 49 watch TV too!!!!!!!
Please don’t cancel Tommy. What a refreshing change. A real woman police chief, a savvy pr agent the whole cast was great from the get-go. No need to settle in. This show is a winner. Please someone with some brains pick this ip
I usually don’t leave comments about TV shows, BUT I got hooked by this honest, what a person would have to go through TV drama. I guess that’s why it’s labeled a drama. The writing is very good in a very good pace TV show. I don’t watch a lot of week night TV… but this show caught my attention to watch it in real time, instead of recording it or watching it on demand. Somebody take it over and continue the characters story lines and interactions.
I wish Tommy had not been cancelled. It was as really good show.
i am an avid fan and was looking forward to viewing season 2 of Tommy
We enjoyed this show, now disappointed not returning. Maybe another network will pick up. Older generation may gave higher rating numbers, we are over 65 years old.
Yes, I looked forward to it weekly and was expecting a Season 2
CBS keeps making big mistakes like this…
Like when they cancelled Person of Inter after 4 seasons and gave us crumbs with Season 5 with 13 episodes
This is why NBC has more viewers like SVU with over 20 seasons!
CBS needs to reconsider Tommy and Edie Falco!
PLEASE
Yes I looked forward to Tommy every Thursday. Best show on Thursday night.
Hope they will reconsider their decision to cancel. I thought it was a good show.
I loved the show. One of best new shows. Disappointed they didn’t renew. Bring it back. Please
Sad that Tommy has been cancelled. I definitely would have watched season 2.
Yes, I watch every week and this is a favorite show of mine!! So very disappointed to see it has been cancelled Edie is my favorite actress….hopefully Tommy will make a comeback!!
Yes, we would have watched it and looked forward to it. Very disappointed to see it it renewed and other shows renewed. The following is there.
Sorry Tommy is cancelled. Only network show I watched due to commercials and general inanity of most programs. Tommy was a bright light in the darkness of commercial tv. It addressed many current issues in our society. So sad.
