ABC's 'Whiskey Cavalier' hits the sweet spot as it rides on the Oscars coattails to success

There's a reason why 'Whiskey Cavalier' released immediately after the Oscars, and we think we know why.
PUBLISHED FEB 27, 2019

“Whiskey Cavalier” follows an FBI agent Whiskey Cavalier and his CIA operative partner Fiery Tribune. Together, they embark on missions to save the world, but they have to put up with each other first. While the series may have premiered on February 24, the show is still receiving a lot of viewership due to their strategic placement of a sneak peek which aired immediately after the Oscars.

ABC's 'Whiskey Cavalier' is the second show in a year to get the post-Oscar primetime slot, whereas previous years have shown an unusual increase in the number of talk-shows, this year feels like a whole new year. This year, ABC has handed the coveted post-Oscars slot to a scripted drama for the first time in more than a decade, and the show which came out on top is, you guessed it, 'Whiskey Cavalier'.
