It sounds like the Eyewitness TV show from USA Network will wrap up the story in one season. The show’s creator says that the series is an anthology program so a different story will be covered in season two. But, will the show’s ratings be good enough for it to be renewed or, will it be cancelled instead? Stay tuned.
A crime thriller, Eyewitness explores a grisly crime from the point of view of the eyewitnesses. The series begins as two teenage boys — Philip Shea (Tyler Young) and Lukas Waldenbeck (James Paxton) — secretly meet in a cabin in the forest to share a first kiss. While there, they witness a shooting and barely escape with their lives. Desperate to keep their relationship a secret and out of fear of being found by the perpetrator, they remain silent. Their lie grows when Philip’s foster mom, Sheriff Helen Torrance (Julianne Nicholson), takes the case. The rest of the cast includes Amanda Brugel, Gil Bellows, Matt Murray, Tattiawna Jones, and Warren Christie.
3/1 Update: Eyewitness has been officially cancelled after one season. Details here.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like the Eyewitness TV series? Do you think that it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I really hope that this show gets renewed. It’s so refreshing to see gay characters on TV, and strong women (especially women of color). Even if it wasn’t the same characters, or the main focus wasn’t on the same characters, this first season shows that this show isn’t afraid of being progressive, and I think a lot of people need that, including me.
We both love it. Well written and great acting. Please renew.
I think Eyewitness is an exceptionally well done show. Characters are well flushed out and relatable. Writing is intellibent, good twists and turns and backstory. Fabulous music! At 57, I might not be your target audience, but an excellent show should know no age! Helen and Gabe draw me in. Would love a Philkas Season 2 with Gabe and Helen! I know that wasn’t your original plan, but plans change and the show can be rewritten!
I love it, please. Renew for season2
The more I watch “Eyewitness” the more I like it. Hope it is not cancelled.
Another show with FAILURE written all over it. However, NBC Universal may be trying to renew 10 shows with ratings under a 0.20 This could be another one. Isn’t Failure great?
Please renew!!
Please renew!!!
Definitely the show should be renewed. It’s riveting and keeps you on the edge of your seat but yet has funny lighter moments with a great cast of seasoned and wonderful young actors. Keep it rolling please !
I don’t love this program, but I think it is good enough that I would watch another season.
I think there should be a second season. I love this show
I would love to see Eyewitness have a second season. I think that the show gives a very accurate representation of the LGBT community. The show is a very good mix of romance and drama that is very well written along with great actors. Eyewitnesses also represents people that suffer from PTSD. It covers the topic of drugs and coming from not so good house holds. For these reasons , I believe there should be a second season.
Loved it! The plot was great, the characters are awesome and very well played. For me this is by far one of the best series having a LGBTQ character. Would die to see Lukas and Philip in upcoming seasons but its hard to deny that it will be a massive challenge to continue the story with the same characters, at the very least the central character. Even though its declared to be an anthology show but I hope they will take the challenge and create wonders again, please do take!!!. Anyways,will be waiting for the 2nd season.
Its honestly such an amazing show. I really hope more people watch it and ratings improve tremendously. We NEED that season 2!
This is a great show! I love the story, characters, writers, and the acting is wonderful! I can’t wait for each episode. Please bring it back for season 2!!
