The cast of CBS’ one-and-done procedural Tommy is mourning the series’ cancellation on social media.

“Truly devastated our work here is done,” co-star Adelaide Clemens, who played the Blake Sullivan, communications director to Edie Falco’s titular Lapd chief, lamented on Instagram. “I’m going to miss working with such an exceptionally talented and especially kind group of people. To the cast and crew of Tommy, you’re bloody legends.”

“Tommy,” a new cop drama on CBS, creates its stakes through a sort of gender essentialism. Its protagonist isn’t just the first woman to be the chief of police in Los Angeles; she polices, perhaps, in a more gentle and thoughtful manner than a man in her position might.

Which is not to say that Tommy, the somewhat ostentatiously nicknamed protagonist (legal name Abigail Thomas) played by Edie Falco, isn’t credible in uniform. Falco brings a familiar crispness to her work here, a willingness to banter but refusal to endure incompetence. But her top cop is so empathetic to, at times, defy belief, both in her work and in her personal life.

Tommy’s impulse, for instance, when dealing with a case in which a child and mother vulnerable to Ice have been separated is not merely to stand in the way of Ice — which perhaps could be...

CBS has given a series order to Tommy, a police drama starring Emmy winner Edie Falco. The project hails from Homicide creator Paul Attanasio, Amblin Television and CBS TV Studios.

Tommy had been the last CBS pilot in serious contention at CBS. The network already picked up dramas Evil, FBI: Most Wanted and All Rise and comedies Bob Hearts Abishola, Broke, Carol’s Second Act and The Unicorn.

CBS is not specifying whether series are for fall or midseason, but I hear Tommy is earmarked for midseason to accommodate Falco’s schedule. The series is currently searching for a showrunner.

This is the second pilot by Attanasio with Amblin TV and CBS TV Studios to go to series at CBS, following Bull, which was just renewed for a fourth season. (Amblin TV ended its involvement in that series in the wake of the sexual harassment controversy involving series star Michael Weatherly.

The Edie Falco-led drama “Tommy” has been ordered to series at CBS for the 2019-2020 season.

Falco stars as a former high-ranking NYPD officer who becomes the first female Chief of Police for Los Angeles. She uses her unflinching honesty and hardball tactics to navigate the social, political, and national security issues that converge with enforcing the law.

In addition to Falco, the series will also star Michael Chernus, Adelaide Clemens, David Fierro, Russell G. Jones, Olivia Lucy Phillip, and Joseph Lyle Taylor. Paul Attanasio, the creator of the current CBS series “Bull,” is the writer and executive producer on “Tommy.” Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey of Amblin Television will also executive produce. Kate Dennis directed and executive produced the pilot. CBS Television Studios will produce.

Sources say that CBS was very high on getting Falco on the network, making this project a priority for them once Falco signed on to star.
