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?
We really loved this show and we were really hoping to see it come back. Smart writing and good plot lines. You keep garbage on but not this jewel?!
Really don’t understand how a well written show with an amazing cast gets dropped in favor of the vast amounts of garbage that seem to get renewed. Shame on you, CBS!
What jerks! I suppose we will be stuck with a stupid reality show now! I am done with this crap. I will not watch any new show on CBS again. Wake up people…lots of choices out there in this Day and age and main networks really suck with the massive garbage realality crap!
My god CBS certainly doesn’t give a great show any chance. I know the show was up against a couple of good shows but they are going to be finished so give Tommy season 2 to see how that pans out.
Love Tommy. Great show! Can’t understand why cancelled.
Renew “TOMMY”- only Police Show with A Woman in Charge! GUTTSY CHARACTER ! CURRENT TOPICS!!! USES HER BRAIN, NOT HER GUN! USUAL MALE CONSPIRACY TO TAKE HER DOWN ! WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN??? ON SHOWS AND TO THEIR LONGEVITY! GIVE “ TOMMY ANOTHER CHANCE! EDIE FALCO FITS THIS STRONG CHARACTER !! BRING “TOMMY” and “EDIE” BOTH BACK ! THANKS
So so disappointed that Tommy is cancelled. Watched it every week & really enjoyed Edie Falco as Tommy. An honest, fair police chief that is an example of how the police department should be run. Reconsider ur decision CBS we need positive forces in this time of uncertainty.
Mistake on CBS’s part. Series was starting to develop legs.
CBS is making a ridiculous mistake. Keep Edie Falco on!
This probably means we won’t get any closure on the corruption schemes either! Right?!
Extremely disappointed!! I watched every week! One of my favorite shows! SMH!
Yes; was hoping for AT LEAST a season two. What happened???? CBS didn’t have the courage to allow this well-written, honest program to continue. Homophobia is alive and well, it seems. Since it won’t be back, I will be canceling my All Access subscription. I know I won’t be the only one disappointed by this lack of vision. Your company had a GREAT thing going with that REMARKABLE cast. Edie Falco did, indeed shine. You should have paid more attention to your commercials. Shame on you.
Has nothing to do with homophobia (while less than 4% of the population is LGBTQ, we HAVE to have a representative on every show is laughable) the show was a horrible piece of programming and 100 unrealistic
If you want reality, there are plenty of shows out there. Some of us just enjoy good acting and story line
I love this show and was truly looking fwd to next season. I hope CBS reconsider… it had a different flare and that made me watch…
I love Tommy!! The series is refreshing. It is great to see a truly honest, caring, no nonsense Chief of Police who stands for what is right for all people. Plus being a woman who happens to be gay. We could really use this type of policing in all jurisdictions in America!! It would create an environment where there would be less violence, with more people willing to work with our police officers. People would come to respect our men and women in blue. I think the crime rate would get lower. And the regard for human life would get… Read more »
