The battle is over at Paramount Network. The cable channel has cancelled the 68 Whiskey TV series so, there won’t be a second season.
A comedy-drama series, 68 Whiskey follows a multicultural band of Army medics stationed in Afghanistan on a base nicknamed “The Orphanage.” Together, the medics navigate a dangerous and sometimes absurd world, relying on comradery, various vices, and, occasionally, a profound sense of purpose to carry them through. The cast includes Sam Keeley, Jeremy Tardy, Gage Golightly, Cristina Rodlo, Beth Riesgraf, Lamont Thompson, Nicholas Coombe, and Derek Theler, with Usman Ally, Lamont Thompson, Artur Benson, and Aaron Glenane in recurring roles.
The first season of 68 Whiskey averaged a 0.10 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 499,000 viewers. Paramount Network has few original scripted series so it’s difficult to tell what is considered a success. The recently wrapped third season of Yellowstone averaged a 0.75 demo rating with 3.91 million viewers. Meanwhile, other series have drawn numbers that are closer to 69 Whiskey’s. Paramount does have a new series, Coyote starring Michael Chiklis, in the pipeline.
What do you think? Did you watch the first season of the 68 Whiskey TV series? Would you have watched season two on Paramount Network?
I will definitely watch season two when Paramount decides to produce it!!!!!
Really sorry to hear this show is cancelled.
Makes me sad and mad, an excellent adult series. I am very disappointed in this decision!
What a shame. When one looks at standard network programming, it’s vegetative. Unbelievable crap is renewed but this program, with a bit of class and intelligence is cancelled. They never gave it a chance. Sad.
Oh I made a mistake. I thought it was being renewed. I guess it was wishful thinking. What a shame. It was a really good series. I’m so very disappointed when there is so much other junk on TV. This was a bright new star. What is wrong with these people always leaving the junk on year after year and the good shows for adults just get tossed away.
I’m so glad it is going to have a 2nd series. I love the show and the characters. When is the premiere date?
I was looking forward to watching the 2nd season. I enjoyed it. What a shame. Are you watching Yellowstone?
I was looking forward to watching the 2and season of 69 Whiskey. I will miss it. What a shame. Are you watching Yellowstone?
I love this show and this is just another example of greed. YouTube TV raised their price 30% for adding that tier which was to watch 68 Whiskey and Yellowstone. I could not care less about sports. I may drop YouTube TV at this point. Netflix is getting worse which is becoming more foreign films and most of the other movies can be seen on Roku channel, Tubi TV, Pluto TV, and a few others for free with a few commercials. The hell with Paramount and CBS VIACOM.
I all ready had new date on my calendar
That’s terrible news!! 68 Whiskey was a delightful and interesting adult show! BRING IT BACK!! Why is it the really great shows get removed so quickly while the mediocre and downright silly inconsequential shows get renewed season after season. VERY disappointing!!
My husband and I loved this show. We definitely would’ve watched another season and more. We have been waiting to find out if it was coming back. I hope another network picks it up.
what a shame! weaker shows survive and this doesnt…. it was just starting to get interesting. i would have kept watching.
Quality writing and quality acting. This could’ve been a modern day M.A.S.H. if Paramount actually bothered to give it time and backing to find its audience.
No, Please say it isn’t so. Next to Yellowstone, This was the best show on TV.
