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?
Are you kidding me?! How about trying a different day/time frame? Give it a chance. I absolutely love this show
This is one of the best shows to come along in a long time. Please do not cancel this show. Its real, honest, not over dramatized. Its excellent writing, casting and the performances are stellar. Canceling is a mistake. Big mistake. Please keep Tommy!!!
This was one of the smartest and most honest series on tv! Not formula, subtle decisions on writing that thank goodness were “not” cliche! What a shame. We are shocked it was not appreciated by a wider audience.

I’m so bummed to see that Tommy isn’t being renewed for season 2. I just recently found this show and watched all 12 episodes on the CBS app within a few days. I love seeing a powerful woman use her power for good and now bow to corruption, greed, or selfishness. Her team had great chemistry and I loved watching them interact. CBS should really consider renewing Tommy for another season.
Loved the show Tommy… too bad it was cancelled!
It’s a shame they decided to cancel Tommy. The show is about a female taking on a responsibility that men don’t want her to do. So, CBS decided they can’t allow a great show that is good to watch and shows a female in a great rol to continue? This show should have been given a chance at a second season. Where’s another female in charge of police or any kind of position that younger girls can look up to? Please reconsider this action. Reinstate Tommy, as they did in the last show of the season!
Sorry to hear that. I liked it very much. A strong woman and a great actress. Good chemistry too between the team. Bah, the good ones tend to be cancelled it would seem. Or the ones that I enjoy.
This is the first cop show I ever liked
And will probably be the last if ots cancelled
This also something that I can talk to with my parents who love all cop shows but this was my first that I liked
I hope you keep this show
I thought Tommy was a good show. I hope Netflix picks it up. I definently would have continued watching.
Please bring this show back. It was one of the good ones.
BIG MISTAKE
Great show . Sorry to see canceled.
Great show. Got better every week. This show should NOT have been cancelled.
Bad decision to cancel. Viewers need stories where people work for justice especially now in these turbulent times.
Bad decision. This series has depth – and seeing someone believe in working for justice helps in these turbulent times with this government.
