Don’t thank us… Renew it for a second season, or at the very least, sell the rights to @netflix , @hulu or @amazonprimenow

Others noted the fact that the episode ended on a cliffhanger which wouldn’t be resolved without a renewal.

Ahead of the episode, executive producer Bill Lawrence urged his followers to make the episode a season finale, not a series finale.
Tonight: great season finale of #WhiskeyCavalier. Maybe check it out? Make this a “season” finale and not a series finale. Just an idea.

Whiskey Cavalier premiered on ABC in February and the show was canceled earlier this month. It followed Will Chase (codename: Whiskey Cavalier) after he was assigned to work with CIA operative Francesca ‘Frankie’ Trowbridge (codename: Fiery Tribune) with the two working together with a group of spies to save the world, naturally.
After the cancellation, ABC entertainment chief Karey Burke told TVLine the move was “a very tough decision.”
“We felt like we gave it a very strong launch this spring and it had its chance to do what it could do,” Burke said. “We looked for other time slots [for Whiskey Cavalier] but did not see a real opportunity to grow.”
The season finale of Whiskey Cavalier scored 3.8 million viewers and a 0.7 demo rating, which was an 11-week ratings high.
