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Per Deadline, East New York had been on track for a renewal — until the cancellation of SWAT was rescinded.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 is a well written show….
PLEASE, PLEASE save this show!!!! I haven’t missed an episode!!!
Please save East New York. It is an excellent show with a great cast. It is enjoyed by myself and friends.
This is a great show with a superior cast. I enjoy S.W.A.T. but if it’s a choice between the two, East New York should is #1. It’s just in a different category.
Save show
I hope somehow, someway, East New York gets picked up by CBS or some other network. This show is fantastic and it deserves to be on the air. Quality shows like this should be seen.
Please somebody pick this show up. It never should have been considered for cancellation. It is one of the great shows.
Hoping it matters that we as fans love watching it & would appreciate them getting a second season. Reconsider it
Yes please give @EastNewYork a second season. It’s a great show with an awesome cast. I am a huge fan that will contue watching it.
East New York is one of the best shows on. The writing and acting is exceptional. I was hoping that they would receive a nomination for awards. Please leave this show on.
I really hope they don’t cancel ENY, if so, hopefully another network picks it up, like two other of my favorites, Brooklyn 99 and Magnum PI. Good luck ENY!!
I love East New York! Why don’t you get rid of some of those NCIS shows! There’s way too many of those! Plus a whole night of FBI’S . Come on!
We love East New York and feel that it is more realistic than many police shows. The writers are developing the characters well. Please reconsider.
I LOVE this show..East New York. Please save it. Everyone is great! Love all the characters and storylines. What a shame if this well acted show is droped
