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Per Deadline, East New York had been on track for a renewal — until the cancellation of SWAT was rescinded.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?
I’m saddened that the show is canceled. I’m from Harlem NY. I love the show. So real. Always keeps me on my toes. The cast is awesome. Please give us another season.
My wife and I enjoy East New York each week and would like to see it renewed
PLEASE PLEASE save this show ! Actors are great and story lines are awesome; CBS, please save it.
I sure hope that East New York can be saved, if not on CBS, on some other channel. This is a good drama show. Better than Fire Country, which CBS was so quick to renew for a new season.
Please save east new york its a good show.

Yes. Love the show
Please save East New York. It is a great show. If CBS doesnt want it, find another network. It can be done.
Please save the show hopefully shop it to another local network and not some streaming service. It deserves a chance. The storyline is good and the actors are excellent. Pick another time slot if that’s what it takes.
Please save this show!
