Will ‘The Company You Keep’ Return For Season 2 on ABC?

It feels like Milo Ventimiglia was devouring a cheeseburger during the series premiere of The Company You Keep just yesterday, but the Season 1 finale is officially behind us.

ABC’s sexy crime drama starring Ventimiglia as con-man Charlie Nicoletti, Sarah Wayne Callies as Charlie’s sister Birdie, Polly Draper and William Fichtner as their parents, and Catherine Haena Kim as Charlie’s CIA agent crush Emma wrapped its first season on Sunday, May 7 in an episode titled “The Truth Hurts.” And if you watched Emma and Charlie partner with Daphne (Felisha Terrell) to take down the Maguires, you’re likely wondering if there’s more The Company You Keep episodes to come.

Wondering if The Company You Keep is renewed or canceled on ABC? Or what The Company You Keep Season 2 might look like? Here’s what we know about the future of the charming heist series.

Is The Company You Keep Renewed For Season 2 On ABC?

Ahead of The Company You Keep‘s Season 1 finale, ABC had yet to renew or cancel the series. But fans of the drama were hopeful for a Season 2 as the series pulled solid ratings in its first season and currently has a 92% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes, and Ventimiglia’s last broadcast drama, NBC’s This Is Us, lasted six seasons.

Unfortunately, on May 12, ABC announced that The Company You Keep was canceled after just one season, meaning the Season 1 finale that aired on Sunday, May 7 would be the show’s last episode. (ABC also canceled Alaska Daily and Big Sky on the same day.)

After its Season 1 finale, The Company You Keep still had quite a few storylines in need of wrapping. If the series does got renewed, the show likely would have explored Charlie and Emma’s romance, along with their new partnership. Emma ended the season stepping away from the CIA with a plan to carry out an off-the-books investigation into the agency with some help from the inside, so Charlie would likely have helped her out with that mission.

As far as the Nicoletti family goes, a Season 2 could have focused more on Leo’s health. And since Birdie and Charlie ended the season with talk of “leveling the playing field for everybody” we likely would have seen more cons. We could have expected to see more of Emma’s brother David Hill in Season 2 as well, considering he won the election and Jennifer and her mom (?!) seemed to be plotting against him. Sadly, unless the series is rescued by another network, we may never know what was in store for The Company You Keep‘s characters.

The Company You Keep is available to stream on Hulu for all your rewatch needs.
