TV show description:
From creator Dave Hemingson, who executive produces with Bill Lawrence, the Whiskey Cavalier TV show is one part screwball comedy, two parts spy drama. The action-adventure centers on FBI Agent Will Chase (Foley), codename: Whiskey Cavalier and CIA operative Frankie Trowbridge (Cohan), codename: Fiery Tribune.
The series kicks off with Will still reeling from a breakup Gigi (Valerie Huber). She dumped him when he proposed to her, and since the entire incident was caught on camera, poor Whiskey has to relive it with not just his co-workers and friends, but his rivals and targets, as well.
While on assignment overseas, Whiskey crosses paths with Frankie, and the results are both explosive and captivating — largely because she ignites an explosion in order to cause a diversion and absconds with the target Will is supposed to bring in.
That target is Edgar Standish (Williams), a hacker extraordinaire who, in his work for the NSA, stumbled onto evidence of an enormous conspiracy involving corruption, election theft, and more. Since Edgar is a US citizen, the FBI has dibs on him, but Frankie means to take him to a CIA black-ops site, to get him to reveal the location of all the sensitive files in his possession.
Although both Will and Frankie are tough, seasoned agents, he has an open, tender side, whereas she prefers to stay out of touch with her feelings. Each one bests the other and saves the other at turns.
Sparring over custody of Edgar, Frankie and Will quickly develop a grudging respect for each other’s skills, as well as for Edgar’s determination to uncover the truth about vast government corruption. They’re soon assigned to work together on an inter-agency task force, to save the world.
The team also includes FBI profiler Susan Sampson (Ortiz), CIA gadget guru Jai Datta (Das), and FBI Agent Ray Prince (Hopkins). Together they’ll take on that task of saving the world and they just might save each other, too.
Series Finale:
Episode #13 — Czech Mate
Ollerman attempts to force the team to commit a terrorist attack for The Trust using Ray’s life as leverage. Meanwhile, Jai helps Standish deal with a revelation about Tina, and Will and Frankie come to a realization about their relationship.
First aired: May 22, 2019.
What do you think? Do you like the Whiskey Cavalier TV series? Should this ABC TV show have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I cannot believe this show has been cancelled when you keep so many other poor quality shows, such a shame. It is one of 8 shows I watch on ABC, guess there will only be 7 now.
It’s definitely worth renewing. It’s one of the best new shows this season. It’s really unique. Don’t cancel it!!
It was one of the few shows that the whole family loved. We have different tastes in shows and this one had us watching it together. It was deverse enough for all generations to enjoy.
Please do not cancel this show. There are so few good TV shows to watch anymore, this is a good show & it needs to live on.
Really into this show. So very disappointed it was cancelled. The new show Blood and Treasures which I guess is a replacement was not at all interesting. I couldn’t keep up with what was going on. I hope the “powers that be” will reconsider the cancellation of Whiskey Cavalier.
I wish you would have renewed this show. I loved it it’s nothing like other shows. ABC could have canceled other shows. This needs to be renewed!!
I really liked this show! It had heart, humor and suspense. I know it was a bit sappy, but it was a feel good show that there is never enough of!
Its one of the few action, mystery ,spy, fun shows on tv please bring it back
I hate it when networks introduce mid season replacements and then cancel them after one season. What do they expect when we’ve been vested in shows for years and they go up against them? I’ve watched Whiskey Cavalier every week and watched my other show on demand. This show’s cast is great, the writing in quick, funny and entertaining. Reminds me of Castle. A crime show with humor. Shame on canceling theschow! Especially with the cliff hanger last night!
I really enjoyed the series. I am sad that it got cancelled. It was fun to watch!
Was, is a fun show, always good for a laugh each week, isn’t a little distraction and fun what we all need. I hope one of the independents picks up the show
Yes – it needs to come back with more episodes
This is why I don’t like investing my time on the alphabet networks anymore. They cancel so quickly. And…why are they still using Nielsen ratings? isn’t there a better way to measure viewership through Comcast or something?
Ann, loved your comment about the alphabet networks. You are so, so right. They get us interested in some good programming and then pull the rug right under us.
Love this program. No other current show compares to the clever plot line and interaction between characters. Please bring it back. Perhaps you need to put it in an earlier time slot.
I love Whiskey Cavalier. Boo ABC for cancelling it!!!!! #SaveWhiskeyCavalier
