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 loved it. Please bring it back.
Don’t understand the decision. Loved the show and the characters. Looked forward to it every week. Always cancel the good shows. Should have given it another season. Compared to some of the junk they have out there, this was a decent show. Also, Scott Foley was good to look at; he’s so handsome
Absolutely!
I really enjoyed this show. I hate to see it go.
absolutely want to see another season…please let it come back on another network…love the characters, the story line and settings !
I enjoyed the show and was very disappointed to hear there wouldn’t be a season two
I definitely would have watched it. It was so much better than other shows that have been renewed.
Love love loved this show! So disappointed it was canceled. One of the best new shows.
I enjoyed watching Whiskey Cavalier. Big Mistake not giving it a second season. Should’ve given another season.
I loved the show! Very unhappy about the cancellation
This show being cancelled was the most disappointing of the season. Shows need to make or break with little real chance of surviving in the midst of mid season shows, regular season finales and knee jerk reactions based on a short season. I thought the cast was great, it was a fun show to watch with great actors!
I loved the show! it was very entertaining! would be nice if it came back,possibly on a good night.
What a mediocre show this was. The leads did not have true chemistry and the program suffered from its own identity. Was it a crime show? Was it a pal show? Was it pretty awful – YES.
How many episodes did you watch?
YES I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO A SEASON 2 BUT AS USUAL THE NETWORK LET ME/US DOWN, AND THE SO CALLED FINALE LEFT FANS HANGING WITHOUT CLOSURE SOOOO
VERY DISAPPOINTED TO SAY THE LEAST
I really liked this show. At first I didn’t want to get into it because I figured it would only end up being canceled, and that is just what happened, but I got drawn into the characters, the action, the adventure, the suspense. It should never have been canceled. The only show I was into on ABC was Castle and look how that ended! I am never getting into another ABC show ever. I had considered watching the upcoming Fall show, Stumptown, but talked myself out of that. ABC, you should have brought Whiskey back for the fans!
I agree, I agree!! But at least they did let Castle have a finale, but I would have rather had it stay on the air.
