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Per Deadline, East New York had been on track for a renewal — until the cancellation of SWAT was rescinded.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?
It is a great show. I hope another network picks it up.
Please keep this show. It is so very good and needs to continue. Please do not cancel it.
Please save this show….I need it!!!!
We are so disappointed that CBS has canceled East New York .. it has become one of our very favorite network shows. It has a stellar cast, excellent writing, great continuity of plot lines, topical characters and dialogue and great camera work! Seeing Jimmy Smits and Richard Kind in a drama that again showcases their talents has been a joy. I encourage CBS to immediately reverse their unfortunate decision and get ENY back on their prime time schedule!
Yes keep it going, I enjoy that show
I definitely like this show. Please renew it.
We watch this show every week, either on CBS or on-demand. Awesome show, cast and storylines. Please find a way for it to continue.
Please do not cancel East NY. The characters ae very interesting and the plots wonderfully complicated.
Please save this show. The characters are really good. Every Sunday night we look forward to tuning into The Equalizer and East New York.
Even though I am white and English, I love the rich diversity of both these shows.
We must be more accepting of our neighbours.
These shows are bringing it home in abundance.
Yes, I like the show a lot. Yes I would watch it on a different channel. Both myself and spouse watch it weekly.
Renew East New York PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE . IT’S SO WELL DONE !!
Please save East side New York. It is so reminiscent of Hill Street blues. I love the show. It’s ridiculous that they are canceling a show with real meaning and content Can you give me the address of how I can contact the station and make my views known? Thank you!
Keep this show going! It’s one of our favorites! We’ll go with whatever channel airs it!
Save East New York!!!!!!! Please don’t cancel it.
I WOULD TAKE EAST OF NEW YORK ANY DAY OVER SWAT. ONE OF THE BETTER SHOWS ON TELEVISION, ALONG WITH BLUE BLOODS WHICH IS GREAT IN MY EYES.
