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?
Bring back Whiskey Cavalier…
I loved the show whiskey cavalier. Was looking forward to seeing it this season but of course it is canceled. WHY!!! Anytime a good series comes on they cancel it. I am disappointed.
Really hoped that Whiskey Cavalier would be brought back at the half season. Such a great show! Let’s get rid of the reality shows. Enough of 20/20 and 48 hours etc. My husband and I wouldn’t miss a week of Whiskey Cavalier.
Great show so of course they cancelled it to be replaced by something stupid Im sure maybe Netflix will pick it up hopefully.
Whiskey Cavalier was a wonderful show that my wife and I enjoyed. It reminder us of Moonlighting but without the animosity. The actors and writers shouldn’t have difficulty finding new opportunities. Too bad the executives don’t give shows a chance. There are many shows in the past that took more than the first season to get viewed.
I can’t believe there won’t be a second season of Whiskey Cavalier. I really liked that show. Take off the reality shows .They are awful.
Can’t believe there won’t be a 2nd season of Whiskey Cavalier!!! I don’t like watching all of those reality shows would rather watch something like Whiskey Cavalier!!!
The should really keep this show on, and get rid of all the really stupid game and reality shows on primetime.
Best new series all season. Can’t believe it was cancelled! I planned to watch it for years to come. Every episode was an intense James Bond movie. So sad it’s gone.
So upset they cancelled this show!!! I absolutely loved it and was so excited to watch each new episode!!! I think they made the wrong decision, it was funny, suspenseful, romantic, and action packed…it was a very well rounded show that I thought would last a long time!
Whiskey Cavalier is a funny, spy drama that has great story lines and great actors. From a 50 year old to my kids 18 and 20 we all enjoyed very much. We definitely would watch more because there’s not that much to watch on tv today as a family.
Please bring it back.
The show should not have been cancelled. There are very few shows worth watching on network television.Hopefully this show will be picked up elsewhere. It was one of the few shows I watched every week…
We love it and would have watched it most definitely! The chemistry of all the actors was fantastic and it was so charming. If they put it on regular season it would have stood a chance.
Hate that whiskey cavalier was canceled
This is why ABC is loosing so many viewers. The company never gives a new Showa chance. ABC is known for canceling most of their new shows. They cancelled two good shows. One show had higher ratings than already established shows(Fresh off the Boat Blackish Bless this mess) and regardless I cancel 2 good shows Whiskey Cavalier and The Kids Are Alright. Shame on ABC.
