Did Whiskey Cavalier ever have a chance at a second season? Recently, ABC boss Karey Burke explained why the network briefly reconsidered the TV show’s cancellation, TVLine reports.
The drama series centers on FBI Agent Will Chase (Scott Foley), codename: “Whiskey Cavalier” and CIA operative Frankie Trowbridge (Lauren 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 cast also includes Ana Ortiz, Tyler James Williams, Vir Das, and Josh Hopkins.
Earlier this year, ABC cancelled Whiskey Cavalier after one season only to reconsider the decision before ultimately canceling the series. Speaking to TVLine, ABC boss Karey Burke said the network considered bringing the show back because of an email written by executive producer Bill Lawrence:
He was just so deeply passionate about it. He put his heart and soul into it. And he just asked us to take one last look. And we really did.”
However, Burke said a second season of Whiskey Cavalier was just to difficult to justify given the show’s low ratings:
It was tough [to justify] financially [and] ratings-wise. We ultimately just decided to bet on the future.”
What do you think? Have you seen Whiskey Cavalier? Would you have watched a second season?
Yes! I loved it. Reminded me of the original Charlie’s Angels.
It was my favorite show. I enjoyed the mix of action and comedy, well written and all the characters were interesting in their own way. Not surprised ABC canceled it though because anything I watch there. is canceled pretty quickly. Hate the unresolved cliff hanger.
We LOVED Whiskey Cavalier and were so disappointed to see it cancelled. It was the only thing on ABC besides The Rookie that we watched. I am so tired of all the ridiculous reality shows – I can’t understand why they’d cancel something so entertaining and enjoyable and keep some of the garbage reality shows instead. Hoping another network will pick it up.
The show was truly enjoyable, I watched every episode! It had wit, fun, sarcasm, and still managed to be serious when it came to the “jobs” the team had to do!! What a pleasant show too, such a change from all the other very serious shows on during the week and in the same time slot. Rome wasn’t built in a day, maybe move it to a different day and time slot before killing the show completely!! We’ never know now if the show was really disliked or if it may have been a bad time slot or a bad… Read more »
It was a show worth staying up past 10pm for. What a delightful change from all the violence and political statements of today that shows try to address. Keep it simple. Good clean fun.
Yes. It was a fun crime show without Gore. I am so sick of TV shows that are so grim, that you’re depressed by the time each episode ends.
OMGosh, I cannot believe that ABC fubar’d with the Whiskey Cavalier Cancellation. It was one of the best shows on the networks. Should have gave it at least another season before making the cancellation decision.
Absolutely, I would have! Best show on ABC. You seriously wouldn’t know a hit show if it smacked you across your collective faces. Really dumb move on your part. You have it on Hulu now – how about a little advertising, too? Seriously dumb move, ABC. You had a long term hit show and dumped it.
Yes, I would definitely watch a second season and more! Loved the show and the cast was great together. You, Karey Burke, have no idea what the fans like. Between axing Whiskey Cavalier and The Kids are Alright, you need to move on. If you can keep on such disgusting shows as those bachelor shows, you can give decent shows a second chance. With dividing up the seasons, why not Whiskey and The Kids as replacement or summer show??
BRING THEM BACK!!
Yes, definitely I would continue watching another season. So would the majority of my friends and family
Yes I would watch a 2nd season. They don’t even give shows a chance. This show was a hit.
I will be watching! The first season was great.
Loved this show! We hope Netflix or Amazon Prime picks this up!
We really wanted to see this renewed! It was really fun and we love the cast. So sad that people would rather watch so called “reality” shows. I hope Netflix or Amazon Prime picks this up!
Yes that is a good show. You really get to like the cast and the action is good. You never really gave it a chance to catch more viewers because it was a new show coming out and people were already into a show viewed at the same times. Had it premiered at the time of rerun season, people would have watched it and most likely get hooked on this this show and cast.
