East New York was cancelled by CBS earlier this week, but there is still some hope that the series could be saved and renewed for a second season. The show’s studio, Warner Bros Television, had started to informally shop the series to other outlets in recent weeks when renewal talks with CBS weren’t going as well as hoped.
Starring Amanda Warren, Jimmy Smits, Ruben Santiago-Hudson, Kevin Rankin, Richard Kind, Elizabeth Rodriguez, Olivia Luccardi, and Lavel Schley, East New York revolves around the officers and detectives of the 74th precinct in the East New York neighborhood of Brooklyn.
Per Deadline, East New York had been on track for a renewal — until the cancellation of SWAT was rescinded. The two police dramas were essentially competing for the same time slot, so the newer drama ended up being the loser.
With a loyal following of viewers, there has been some backlash following the drama’s cancellation and the studio is looking for a new home. Those efforts are complicated now that the WGA strike is underway.
Mike Flynn, co-creator of the CBS series, told fans of the series to stay tuned in a post on Instagram.

What do you think? Do you want to see East New York return for a second season? Would you watch it on a new channel or service?

Don’t cancel! It is one of the better shows. Cancel one of the ncis or FBI shows. There are too many of each.
Please keep EAST NEW YORK its great show!
Don’t cancel this show. Best thing to watch on TV. Big mistake but I would watch it where ever it ends up
Please rethink your decision! Cancelling a descent show, really?
There’s so much junk on TV. Why not keep the great show with great actors!
Please, please, please don’t switch to paid +whatever!
I WON’T follow!
Please!
Loved Eaat New York. Watch very little TV in general but always make sure to get in every episode of this one. Good characters, great acting. Pretty true to NYC life. Will be missed if not otherwise picked up.
Last fall I didn’t think we needed another cop show, but after watching a couple episodes, I can’t believe CBS is cancelling this series just so SWAT can have one more year. Not a good move. ENW has very good writers who have compelling stories to share.
Yes…my husband and I LOVE this show…take off one of the other “crap” shows but NOT East New York!!!!!
Please dont cancel this show. East New York is great. Look forward to watching it each week.
Yes, I would carry on watching East New York as I really enjoy it. Please don’t cancel it!
I would follow the show wherevever it would land.
as long as it stays on tv… i pay alot for cable & want to keep watching it there.
Enjoy series East New York…… don’t cancel it!
LOVE East New York!!!!
