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 LOVE Whiskey Cavalier. It is one of our favorite shows. It combines an awesome mix of spy drama and excellent humor. The characters are so good together. Please don’t cancel this show. It makes no sense why an idiotic show like the Kardashians will be renewed but an entertaining show that makes you laugh will be cancelled. What is wrong with our society???
I really hope this show gets another chance! I thought the writing was fun and the acting was spot on! Scott Foley was perfect! Plus, you can’t leave it on that cliff hanger!
The show was excellent and I am sorry to see it cancelled. The basis of the show was that former adversaries are working together for a common cause, which is an interesting concept.
This is sad I loved whiskey caviler an another great show you cancelled I’m so upset.
My husband and I loved watching Whiskey Cavalier together. Our adult children enjoyed watching it as well with their spouses. It had a great mix of serious spy side with humor. I think ABC needs to rethink this. We loved the Rookie as well!
This is such a great show. Please don’t cancel it!!
I really like the show. Hoping it will somehow get a second look and be renewed for a second season.
Love this show.
You know this day in age with reality TV that absolutely sucks and adds no entertainment or excellent writing with characters that you can relate to on a fun level this cancellation SUCKS!!!!!
fun show, love the characters, should not have been cancelled , unique premiss.
It’s truly disappointing that this uniquely different twist on the spy spoof genre is not being renewed. It was a great mix of technology, globetrotting geography, cast diversity and well written episodes. What a shame.
My husband and I loved this show and want it back! Please bring it back!
My wife and I loved it. They were developing the characters nicely. Too bad, please don’t cancel it.
We really love Whiskey Cavalier, I hope they find it a new home.
I really wish this show was not cancelled. It was enjoyable and the cast was finally coming into their own. I heard it was the cost of production. Ever hear of a great place called Canada! Plus tons of photo ops in the USA and with today’s tech world—lame excuse. I am truly sad that shows are cancelled before they are given a chance. That is why so many shows are binged. It stinks to get invested then have the show cancelled.
