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?
Very good show, excellent writing. Another season please!
It was a good show… Good cliffhangers every week.. I think season 2 should begin with Helen hiring sitas sister… And maybe the baby gets kidnapped by the drug dealers for revenge..
Oh course, if the actors had conflicts all bets are off. Give the writers another season to punch up the story now that character development went well.
Will watch only if the same cast returns. Always. Always. know a Nicholson perform will be worth watching and she picks good material suited for her. Give the cast a second season.
Great show really missed it tonight. Would love to see a second episode!
I loved it!!! Great show. Please please renew!!
I had high hopes for this show, but you really only need to watch the 1st and last episode to know what happened. Everything in between was rubbish. I’d love to see a season 2 with more plot twists. Don’t show us who the killer is in the beginning and then kill him in the end.
Loved this show! Hope it is renewed with another great story!
Please renew this series, its awesome, the characters are great, the storyline is edge of your seat amazing!
Eyewitness had an amazing first season it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time . I hope they come out with a season two.
That was “watch men kiss” not kids.
I really enjoyed “Eyewitness” I liked all the twist that were involved. I didn’t care for the gay aspect (no I’m not a homophobic) I just don’t care to have to watch men kids. As I am a Christian. But looking past that, I hope to see a second season. Thank you. Mark

I’m a Christian, too. I’m not sure what being a Christian has to do with realizing that LGBT people have been watching heterosexuals make love on the screen all their lives. If it bothers you to watch men kiss, then you’re the perfect person to understand how gay people feel about having to watch straight people kiss–in public, on commercials, in films, on television shows–in fact, everywhere.
Great post Jan. Here here!!
We thought this was a terrific show – it was utterly suspenseful, but also struck a lovely tone with the development of the characters, and their relationships. The somber, noir feel was artful and pleasing. We loved it, and hope the actors and the show returns.
I recorded this series and when I got around to watching it, I watched all episodes nonstop! The boys were amazing and genuine in their performance and their relationship was so tender. I identified with the sheriff and her struggles to overcome her past. And her husband was a companion to die for! Please bring the series back with the same ‘cat and mouse’ scenario. This show is a keeper! Please?
PLEASE DONT TAKE AWAY THIS SHOW ITS SUCH A POSITIVE SHOW FOR LGBT PEOPLE AND IT SHOWS THEM THAT ITS OKAY TO BE GAY OR LGBT AND PLUS THIS SHOW IS SO GOOOD AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH PLEASE MAKE ANOTHER SEASON AND KEEP ON MAKING SEASONS
Loved It. Waiting for another story.
