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?
I am devastated! This was my favorite show! Didnt miss a single episode! Loved it!
By cancelling this show ABC cancelled my attention to any of their new shows. As soon as the few shows of theirs I do still watch end then I am done with this channel forever because they never give shows a fair chance.
I loved that show! Please save it let some other network have it…
This show really needed another season. I don’t know why certain shows have low ratings & get renewed. It’s disgusting. Blood & Treasure is no where near as good & im sure it will be renewed…don’t know if they’re same network or not & really don’t care. I loved whiskey cavalier & would have continued to watch it. I was so happy that it might be getting a 2nd chance.
You know what the last straw was for me? The cliffhanger ending. It could have been removed by just cutting the last two minutes.
If not for that I would have felt upset, but satisfied that it got to end properly.
Actually, really liked this show.
Think it got better each week. Going
To miss it. Would love to see it BACK!
So sad to hear this. Loved the show and all the actors. Wah.
Yes I would have. ABC always flip flops on their shows.
It cancels the good ones and renews the bad ones. So
sad!!!
So disappointed they didn’t renew this program. They’ll just put another reality show in its place. Oh well, CBS has better shows…..like Blood and Treasure.
What a shame! This was a great series that wasn’t a “scripted/reality” brainless show.
Maybe if ABC aired it at a 9PM slot it would have doubled in views but nah, let’s just keep that pathetic reality show instead…
It was sad to see it canceled. My wife an I enjoyed the show very much . Hope some how it comes back.
Yes I would.
Shame on ABC for cancelling enjoyable show and keep trashy programs on.
Je suis d’accord avec toi
