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?
Tommy is a great show. Edie Falco has done a wonderful job. Very poor decision by cbs.
We loved this show!! Please do not cancel!!!
ABSOLUTELY would watch a second-third- fourth season!! MY FAVORITE SHOW. (Other than God Friended Me)
Please reconsider I love this show!
We watched “Tommy” and enjoyed the well-scripted show each week. Unfortunately, we figure it was too cerebral for the average viewer. Then the fact Tommy was gay; that would be a hard fact for many.
We are hoping Netflix, or another streaming network, picks it up.
Noooo! I love Tommy!! Please reconsider!!
Please RENEW! Excellent show.
I hate that Tommy was cancelled!!!!! This was a Great show I was worried from the first episode because it was a dynamic show with a woman with power, She was a lesbian, and had a black child. Men still rule the world!!! It is sickening that homophobia and racism is still so prevalent in our country!!! I would love to have seen a second season. They never gave it a chance every time they pulled it and put other shows in its place people get discouraged. GIVE IT A SECOND CHANCE!!!!!! I am so sad to lose such a… Read more »
Very disappointed.
Tommy is a great show. Strong female lead character! Edie Falco is fantastic actor. Writers could have done a better job. Give it another chance, please! Most of the shows that get renewed are shoot em up types. This was something different and had so much potential.
This show was excellent. I don’t understand why CBS keeps some of the sitcoms ( that are horrible) and cancel this . I hope another network picks it up.
Can’t believe you are cancelling Tommy – love that show.
NO SURPRISE …this show was a “cookie cutter” show, that didnt have ANY originality other than she was gay, big whup, EVERY show has that now, glad to see it gone, it was boring .
IT WAS REALLY GOOD AND IMPROVING. BUT REALLY A NETFLIX TYPE OF SHOW. WITH THE CHANGING OF THE GUARD AT CBS, THEY HAVE LESS LATITUDE TO DO THIS KIND OF SHOW. MY OWN SENSE IS THAT VIEWERSHIP WOULD HAVE GROWN OVER THE FOLLOWING YEAR. THIS IS THE NEW CBS. NO DOUBT THE TALENT WILL THINK TWICE BEFORE SIGNING UP FOR CBS SHOWS IN THIS NEW ERA. CBS NEEDS TO DO MORE REALITY SHOWS AND THAT TYPE OF THING WITH THEIR NEW REGIME.. IT WILL BE A DIFFERENT OPERATION IN A FEW YEARS. MAYBE IT WILL WORK, MAYBE IT WONT’? WHO… Read more »
