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 a well written, believable show, much better than police shows featuring violence and bloodshed and over the top drama. A lot more realistic with good character development. Other police shows are very cynical and discouraging. Please keep it on air. It displays honesty and integrity.
Believable how, what chief of police avails themselves weekly in run of the mill cases.
I like this show. Bring back The Tommy show. Edie Falco was great in her role. I’d rather watch this instead of Seal Team show. Renew the show. This is another great NYPD show, just like Blue Bloods. Please bring the show back.
I liked it a lot.
TOMMY is a great show! We really enjoy watching something different…don’t take it off the air!!!
Yes i would watch Tommy season 2 and season 3if it was on
Bring it back. It is a great diversified TV show! Give it a chance! Take a stand CBS
I am really disappointed. I watched it every week and was looking forward to see how the storylines were going to unfold. You have to give a new show a little time.
Really good show. Had begun to tackle some important social issues. Edie Falco is a great actress. Big mistake to cancel.
I am really upset about this! Why when we like a show it gets cancelled. Please Don’t cancel.
Loved Tommy. Renew for 1 more season. You just don’t cancel Edie Falco like that. Give the show a chance to tweak things.
Tommy is and was a great show I love the Honesty of the police chief and it said they ended because we don’t ever get to see the officers actually end up liking her and that not gonna happen because you canceled it
Please don’t cancel Tommy it’s a great show
Seriously! Not the first time that CBS has cancelled a good series. Heaven forbid that there could be a series with a strong woman in power as well as her sexual orientation and a child of color from a failed marriage. There’s a reason folks watch cable and subscription options like Netflix, Hulu, Apple, Sling, etc.
I really liked the show. I think a second season would have been great! Sad …
Seriously? All the games shows, Survivor, etc. that no one cares about was it about her sexuality. This was was well-written show. For the past 3-5 years CBS has destroyed it’s line-up. They are trying to drive viewers to all-access. CBS is just losing viewers…
