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?
Loved the show. Maybe day and time originally slotted needs to be reconsidered. I would definitely watch a second season.
Grew to LOVE the connection with the 2 leads! Only to have you yank it from existance!
I loved the cast! It’s a shame they don’t consider the fans opinions.
I am absolutely disgusted that you cancelled this show. When you have got so much crap on ABC that is not worth watching… on Friday night’s there is nothing to watch… nothing. This was a bone headed mistake canceling this show.
I agree! those of us that watched it,miss it!
Yes I would have absolutely watched the second season. My husband and I loved it. And they shouldn’t leave us hanging like they did in the end. I dont get why it had such low ratings.
yes i loved the 1st season!and i def would watch a 2nd season!the cast is great!acting is very good
I really enjoyed a wonderful cast
I would definitely watch a second season both me and my husband loved the show so much and was hoping for a second season
I certainly would have watched another season …there are so many avenues to go with the characters. Bring in it back!
Yes it was a fun entertaining show so naturally they cancelled it.
We love whiskey cavalier. Action packed, good story lines. Everytime ABC gets a great show they drop it. Please bring it back. If it doesn’t come back we are considering not even watching ABC channel.
Loved the show. Too bad the network gave up on it so quickly. Fun characters and witty
I enjoyed the show a lot, great ensemble cast and fun premise
I would love a second season! It is a great show!
Networks cancel shows so often, it is difficult to become engaged with it and the characters. They don’t give the slightest regard to the fans, so I usually dvr shows that interest me, and don’t watch them until I know there is going to be another season. TV is what we see between commercials. Commercials pay the bills, and while I appreciate that aspect of the business, I get involved in shows and take great umbrage when some beancounter cancels one of my shows. That’s right pinheads, one of MY shows. People get involved with the characters and plots, much… Read more »
