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?
This is so disappointing. Great writing and acting with some depth. I cant believe CBS isn’t giving it another season to get established.
We really liked Tommy! Sad to see it go.
Such a great show!
I love Tommy! Edie Falco is amazing, the story was good and the rest of the cast was wonderful.
Please reconsider. This is a great show!
Agree I am so upset about the decision to cancel Tommy. Every series needs time to capture an audience and with all the coverage of Covid its no wonder that viewers may not have been watching. Its disheartening to get into a new series only to have it cancelled after 1 or 2 seasons. Please reconsider the decision !
Great show! We loved it in our household. Please reconsider!
Show got better every episode…looked forward to it every week…please reconsider and give it a second season!!!
Please reconsider canceling Tommy! This was a great show!! I looked forward to watching each week and was hoping for season 2!!! Please!!
This is a good show, and am quite disappointed it has been cancelled. I was really looking forward to the corrupt old boy’ club politicians being taken down. I guess with the way things are today, in particular with American politics, it shouldn’t be too surprising.
I just LOVE Tommy. It reminds me a lot of Madam Secretary. Shows you what strong, intelligent women have to go through to succeed. Very well-written. Like the way the characters interact.
We LOVED the show
This was a very good show with a good cast. I was looking forward to season 2.
Sure wish you would leave Tommy on….such a good program showing what a female police officer can accomplish. Please please give us a season 2
My girlfriend and I looked forward to the show every week. I realize it was edgy. But I would have expected the 18-49 demographic would love a show that portrays “ relevance “.
Incidentally, we are “Seasoned Citizens “.
Namaste
What is it with the networks now? You have one good season and a series is cancelled?! What is going to show next? More zombie crap! There are hardly any good series on anymore. LEAVE SOME THE GOOD ONES!!!
Too many reality tv shows, Survivor, Bachelor, Big Brother. Not everyone wants to watch this and options become more scarce. You’re afraid to watch any new series for fear of the being cancelled. It’s come to “if its not cancelled you watch Season 1 on netflix, Amazon or other”.
