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Per Deadline, East New York had been on track for a renewal — until the cancellation of SWAT was rescinded.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.

East New York’s finale airs on Sunday night on CBS.
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?
Husband and I love this show. PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL! We will definitely be loyal followers in the future.
This was one of the best writing and acted shows I have seen in the last five years! What Idiots to cancel a show like this.
Yes I want to see East New York return. It is one of the very few network shows I watch…me and my husband watch religiously every Sunday. It has a great plot and incredible acting. Please give it another chance. Please
Save this show
The series “ finale” lends some hope that East New York will survive somewhere where perhaps it will be better appreciated. Magnum PI seems to thrive on a better network. Hopefully they will help out too
C B S can’t seem to hold on to none of the good shows , very disappointing !
Love East New York. I started watching CBS again because of it. Please save this show
Would rather watch East New York over SWAT any day.
We enjoy East New York. If CBS don’t want it let some other network have the program. That is a good program
Please continue East New York. It is a personable action show and gets deep into the problems of actively policing the streets. We need a show like this.
Please don’t cancel east end new York. I love it!!
Keep it on
East New York is great! Please reconsider cancelling it. The actors are better than most!!
Such a great show, actors, characters—sure hope it can stay off the chopping block!
I love East New York and everyone I tell about it ends up a loyal watcher
Love the show cause he’s in my neighborhood
