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?
This blows! The chemistry between the characters was very entertaining. They should try a different time slot. This show is much to precious to break up such an amazing team!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoy this show. It is one of the few shows we still watch on a non-cable network. It has the right amount of espionage and humor and the chemistry of the cast is great. I seriously hope the decision to cancel this show will be reversed.
This is one of the few shows I still watched on a non-cable station. I’m so disappointed it has been cancelled. It has the right amount of espionage and humor to grab my attention. My husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed this series. Please rethink your choice to cancel it. The cast had a real chemistry. Such a fun show.
Please do not cancel this show. Some of the best characters and plots on television.
I’m NOT happy Whiskey Cavalier is cancelled! It’s fun to watch, all the characters have good chemistry together, and it’s a diverse cast. They were just starting to let some of the lesser characters have more story time. Please reconsider!!
I also liked how we were finally getting to know the other characters and then –wham. It is all over. Shame on ABC for not recognizing good TV.
By all means this show should NOT have been cancelled. It was one show that I looked forward to on Wed nites. C’mon ABC, give it a different day/time slot . . then> make your decision. If ABC decides to stick with the decision to keep this sho9w canceled – – then hopefully another network will grab it up. “Are you reading this Fox or CW?”
I swear if they cancel Whiskey Cavalier I’ll never watch ABC again!
Totally agree, Mike.
Such a shame, this was a fun show that we really loved. Please don’t let it die…
You got to be kidding! Please dont cancel. This is such a fun show, and I love the contrary characters to the typical boy/girl/spy idea.
Wow! I can’t believe you cancelled this show! And why leave us hanging!
It is a great show! The only reason we watch ABC. Please don’t cancel!
I can’t believe they cancelled this show. It is the best new show I have seen in quite a while and quickly became one of my favorites. The network really needs to rethink that decision or another network needs to pick it up. Leaving us hanging the way they did with the last episode is just wrong.
This was the only show my wife and I watch on ABC. Can’t believe it!!
Always seems that get these decisions wrong. The crap stays on and the good stuff gets canceled.
Really?! Cancelling it after only one season really is disappointing. It was nice to have a clean show that had action and laughs. Please give it another chance.
Really, you’re canceling the series already?! They just got started, give Whiskey Cavalier a little more time on air! I’m very disappointed and mad, this was one of only really good shows on tv left. It had funny humor, cuteness, and was clean which probably goes against staying on the network, right? Out with the goodness and in with the bad. Please give this show a second chance. Thanks in advance.
