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?
Sorry to hear Tommy was cancelled, was a good show 🙂
CBS should abandon their cancellation. I watched the show and thought it was great! The (user) rankings for the show on this site (https://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/cbs-tv-shows-2019-20-viewer-votes/) rates Tommy with a 9.43, which is above the rating for NCIS (9.42; and probably my favorite TV show). So, YES, I would certainly watch a second, third,fourth … season. How many people are with me on this?
Sad, sad, sad. Was it cancelled bc it was a female lead?
Should have had a second season for sure
Just think if CSI had been judged solely on its first season
Really enjoyed this programme. Looked forward to the weekly story line as well as the ongoing story lines. It’s a shame to see it end after only 1 season.
Really liked this series – definitely would have watched season 2. !
Why was this outstanding show cancelled. I’m very dissappointed aND angry that cbs made this decision. It elevated women, people of color, and LGBTQ along
with exciting story lines and excellent acting! What was missing for the decision makers,
not enough blood and gore each week?! I desperately hope that another station picks this up and knocks your ratings into a deep hole!
This show should not be cancelled!! I’m only on episode 4 and its an excellent show with an excellent cast and storyline!! Sure hope this decision has nothing to do with cops being portrayed as honorable hard working and brave people!!
Please, please reconsider cancelling Tommy. My husband & I loved this show. Strong female lead. Diverse cast. Great!
I enjoyed the show. It was well acted and interesting. Networks cancel to quickly and don’t give new shows a chance to build a following.
Not real happy about this being cancelled. No shows are given any chances anymore. Get you hooked then yank them away …. the least you could do is a mini movie or longer show to wrap up the storylines you got us hooked on, it’s the least you can do not only with this show any show you cancel with a cliff hanger. Not to mention it is good to see the diversity of a woman in charge. Don’t let what is going on in the world to make you pull a great cop show.
It is a fantastic show please don’t cancel
My wife and I really enjoyed Tommy and are very sad thst it is not being renewed.
Extremely disappointed that Tommy was canceled. Thoroughly enjoyed joyed show. Will greatly miss it!!!
I cannot believe no season 2.. With all the crap on tv how does a show like this get cancelled? Not to mention it was just gearing up for a new situation! Really pissed off !!! Who decides this stuff ? they are morons
