As of the series premiere of the Whiskey Cavalier TV show, all of the ABC television network’s returning programming is down in the Nielsen ratings, over last year, and none of its freshman offerings are an unqualified hit (save The Conners which is really the Roseanne revival’s second season). Can this new action-action adventure series improve the fortunes of the Alphabet Network? Will Whiskey Cavalier be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
An ABC spy drama, with a screwball comedy bent, Whiskey Cavalier stars Scott Foley, Lauren Cohan, Ana Ortiz, Tyler James Williams, Vir Das, and Josh Hopkins. The series centers on FBI Agent Will Chase (Foley), codename: “Whiskey Cavalier” and CIA operative Frankie Trowbridge (Cohan), codename: “Fiery Tribune.” Although they start off as rivals, they’re soon assigned to a joint-agency task force to root out corruption and crime and save the world.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available.

What do you think? Do you like the Whiskey Cavalier TV series on ABC? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
*5/12/19 update: Whiskey Cavalier has been cancelled so there won’t be a second season on ABC but the studio is shopping the series elsewhere.
This is the best show on tv! Please don’t cancel – I love it!
Please renew! Nice family show
My husband and I love the show! It’s well written and we enjoy the quirky humor mixed in. The characters are funny and keep us wanting more!
Definitely renewed.as long as the as the writers bear in mind that making Will and Frankie a couple will ruin the show. (TV history will back me up… Cheers, Moonlighting, Castle). leave well enough
Whiskey Cavalier is a well written series. My husband and I enjoy the humor and the interaction among the characters. It has become one of our favorite shows!
Great show… Love the characters and how they have developed through the episodes. Great scenery. Lots of action. Hope ABC gives it a 2nd season…
My husband and I love the show. It is the perfect blend of spy thriller action, humor and emotions that is rarely seen or accomplished with this level of success. Please have a season 2!
I love the show Whiskey Cavalier. I think it is an awesome show and it would be a travesty if it were taken off the air. Please renew it for a second season.
I love this show. Please don’t take it off. ABC has taken off so many good shows. Please leave this one on.
I think is a very good show. I am looking forward season two
Really like it. Sad to see the ratings aren’t great.
I am enjoying the show and hope it will continue to improve
I don’t wish bad ratings to you guys but by the trend i see it looks like we might get Maggie back on the Walking Dead…
I really like it. Hope it catches on and gets renewed.
A very new and refreshing comedy. Love this show. The Conners shot themselves in the foot when they screwed up and let Roseanne go. So Whiskey will probably stay. Woot Woot
