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Per Deadline, East New York had been on track for a renewal — until the cancellation of SWAT was rescinded.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

Absolutely! Best new show in years. Let’s keep up the good work.
This has been one of the best new shows of the season, if CBS doesn’t recognize this, then maybe it would do better on another network!
I like this show. It grew on me. I really hope they found a solution and bring it back…
Please save this series, with a strong female lead character and relevant stories. All of the actors and writers are top notch! A show with character development- how rare. I have seen every episode.
Please save this show. My brother, a friend and I talk about this show and how good it.
Another good show canceled. I’m gonna stop watching CBS because you like a show and they cancel it but keep shows that are played out
