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, bring Whiskey Cavalier back as soon as possible. Great show. I too DVR it along with Bull and now the Rook. Seems really good programs with great characters and superb writing are so often cancelled only to be replaced by a mindless show which also is cancelled.
Best show on TV last season. Bring it back! I DVR Whiskey Cavalier and Bull. I also DVR Dateline, 20/20 and 48 Hours. Might as well stop paying for Directv and just read books!
Yes
We would have watched another season of Whiskey Cavalier, mainly to see Scott Foley play again. He was phenomenal in Scandal and we really looked forward to seeing him act again! He had great chemistry with the female lead and we also enjoyed the 2 IT guys as well. We wanted to see what happened with the character that was ambushed in the season finale too!
Loved the show. Very entertaining! Less reality shows and more like Whiskey Cavalier! Definitely would watch a second season!
I would have watched it. I thought it was funny and characters seemed to jell. Maybe it needed better storyline.
This was great entertainment – smart, funny, with some great, different characters. Bring it back!
I have said this before, I get so tired of watching a TV show and then to have these so called idiots who think they know what people are watching. You don’t even give a show a chance. Do you count that people DVR the show. ABC you are something else and not in a good way. Bring the show back and give it another chance or let another network pick the show up so it will be a big hit and you will look stupid.
My thoughts exactly. ABC is obviously not listening to reason, as stupid as they are. Have another network take the show and shove it in ABC’s faces.
I loved this show sooooo much! It took me back to the eighties and nineties. I really think they need to give it another chance. I so would’ve watched every episode in the second season and every consecutive season after that.
My husband ad I absolutely loved this show!! We were both deeply saddened to hear of it’s cancellation. We are in disbelief to how this could happen
Show was gaining steam. Great entertainment!
BRING IT BACK!
I thought this show was great. Very disappointed to hear it was not renewed
I loved the show and found it refreshing and exciting compared to other shows currently on TV. I loved the actors too and the plots. It was like a modern James Bond. Bring it back please.
Yes, I’d definitely watch 2nd season of Whiskey Cavalier! Enjoyed series immensely & found “intl flavor” entertaining & engaging! Think its ratings wud have shot up if series started in fall season vs spring! Pls give Whiskey Cavalier a second chance!
I love this show! Really hope the network gives it a chance to grow.
Absolutely!!!
