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 loved 68 Whiskey!!! I really I was looking forward to you a second season and beyond. The chemistry of all the actors in the show was fantastic I can’t believe they canceled it this is terrible. I hope they bring it back!
i cant believe it was cancelled this is crazy,i was so waiting for season 2.
Paramount really blew it on this one! Only two shows on worth watching. Yellowstone and 68 Whiskey. Paramount really needs to think twice about this and bring 68 Whiskey back and give it a fair chance to gain an audience that Paramount thinks it needs to succeed. I hope they don’t get foolish and dump Yellowstone. Shame on whoever made this decision.
My heart is broken. I was so looking forward to season 2. What an intelligent, witty show. You really didn’t give it a chance. You did a crap job marketing it
Amen Chris. With all the channels available in this day and age Paramount needs to understand that they will never attain the viewership of what was available in days past when there was only 3 channels to choose from. These days if you can put out a great show like 68 Whiskey or Yellowstone and just get a small piece of the pie then that network needs to hang on to it and make its viewers happy. They need to remember we can get upset enough not to watch anything they produce and then where would they be?
Please bring 68 Whiskey back!! The characters are real and engaging! I was invested in the stories, laughing and crying with them. Paramount did not market the series online nor enough to watch on Cable. Most of your viewers I would easily guess are men and women who served in the military, I served from 1988-98 in the US Army. You are doing a great disservice removing the show to not only thew cast, the viewers, and the men and women serving today. There are not enough shows on the air that shows our troops and some of their daily… Read more »
