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 watch Tommy! It’s a great show with depth and good social commentary! Much better than other nonsensical shows on CBS. Edi Falco and cast rock! It deserves a second season. Without it, I’ll be hopping networks or shopping for new books and authors!
So disappointed…I really enjoyed this show..would have loved further shows and seasons….bummed!!
Love Edie Falco. I like the show and yes would watch it for the second season. Great actors. Very disappointed.
Tommy very quickly became my favorite program. I am very, very sad it is being canceled!
I really like the Tommy show, nice to see a women to make things better in Los Angeles.
Please don’t cancel the show.
So disappointed, so much crap on TV, this was a good one. One of the ones that made me want to try out CBS All Access and continue my subscription. Edie Falco is awesome, and finally a show I can really relate to. Of course it’s all about the $$, not quality. Showing your true, very disappointing, but not surprising, colors, CBS. I’ll be cancelling my subscription also, for whatever that’s even worth. 🙁
I thought it was a great show. Because we don’t have cable, I’d never seen Edie Falco act before and I was so impressed. I hope another network picks the series up
I wish cbs would reconsider and give the excellent cast a chance to work their magic.
I for one really like the show as it’s not the run of mill cop show, it’s different and that’s what I like about it. Sorry to see it go.
It was an interesting show, worth watching. CBS will probably replace it with a garbage show like Survivor.
I really liked Tommy great show nice to see a female in such a n import job, wish CBS would give it another season and the age watching is not fair mostly older folks watch not young people they can’t stay off their phones.
I definitely would have watched Season 2 of Tommy! Very disappointed CBS
Bad decision! Great show, love Edie Falco, give it a chance!
Loved the show. Would definitely have watched a second season.
Tommy was such a great show – interesting characters, relevant plots from today’s headlines – fabulous acting – well developed plots in the scripts. I am really really sorry to see this show go. We need more cop shows like it that focus on such current themes and interpersonal relationships within the police dept and big city government. Edie Falco’s character represented such great leadership given really difficult dilemmas in every episodes that she was presented with. We could all learn from her as a role model – we need to see more role models like her on tv.
