Sunday night marked the season one finale of Eyewitness. But how is the USA Network series doing in the ratings? Should it be renewed for a second season or should it be cancelled?
Based on the Norwegian series Øyevitne, season one of the planned anthology drama follows two teenage boys who witness a shooting while trying to keep a secret of their own. The cast includes Julianne Nicholson, Tyler Young, James Paxton, Gil Bellows, Warren Christie, and Tattiawna Jones.
Eyewitness premiered on October 16th and earned a 0.20 rating in the 18-49 demo and around 765,000 viewers. The series continued to dip in the ratings over the course of the season, ending with an average of around 0.17 in the 18-49 demo and 628,00 viewers — pretty low numbers even for a cable drama.
Based on the ratings alone, it seems likely that Eyewitness will be cancelled. However, we’d like to know what you think. Please tell us.
Did you watch Eyewitness? Do you think USA Network should renew it for a second season with a different story?
3/1/17 update: Eyewitness has been cancelled. Details here.
Loved this! Definitely shows the struggles that goes on in today’s times with struggling to come out. A great crime story too. Being on season 2.
I just watched the season 1 and I was so so sad that it didnt had season 2 . This show is on of the best romance and crime shows that I have ever watched. I looked through the social media and it seems a lot of people losed hope for this masterpiece. its hard to find good especially gay shows like this one. isnt there are any chances to save this show?? I know its already cancelled but still, not going to lose hope
Loved it. But you can’t make people watch something in order to show them its great. Anyone who missed this missed one of the best series in a long time.
“Eye Wittness” cancelled what? Excellent show.
From now on maybe ill stick with movies.
Every time a good show is previwed, its cancelled. NO ONE EVER ASKS MY REVIEWS!
I loved this show. The characters were deep and excellent, and the story blew my mind. USA needs to at least wrap this up in a proper way.
I stumbled on this show by accident watching a clip on you tube.
I watched all the 10 episodes in one day couldn’t get enough of it. I can reflect so much of the boys struggles, which to this day I struggle with of being out. Why this is not a gay movie it did reflect the struggles of coming out. seasion two should come out as it would show straight people the truth. Bring on season 2 I say for sure.
I kind of NEED a season 2 actually. I think if I learn that the series is definitely canceled I’ll cry. Like really. This is the best thing I’ve ever watched.
love this show. would definitely watch it. one of the better shows on TV. I couldn’t believe that it got cancelled. Hope they reconsider and bring it back. the only reason it got the ratings it did was because there wasn’t enough advertising for the show.
love this show. would definitely watch. really disappointed that it was cancelled. hope they bring it back, it’s a really great show. I don’t think it was promoted enough for people to know about it, I just accidentally came across it and was hooked from the first show
I would definitely watch season 2.
Really enjoyed the show a bit different and on edge hope it comes back
Omg eyewitness ia my life plz someone pick up eyewitness s2 i neeeed it
Would love for this show to come back. Love the 4 main characters. This can really be habit forming to watch this show.
I definitely would watch season 2 of Eyewitness. 2 USA shows with lower ratings, 1 not cancelled or renewed yet and the other one renewed for a 3rd season. I started watching on regular tv time at 3rd episode but I have watched “on demand” all 10 episodes at least 12 times. It was so popular that several Twitter accounts were started about show, such as one that combined the 2 main character’s names Philip & Lucas together such as “Philkas” I became so involved in this excellent show and so hurt there will be no season 2 as I… Read more »
Definitely need to see season 2. Eyewitness offers a thrilling story with refreshing twist to the usual tv series. Loved the character development of Helen, Philip and Lukas. #PHILKAS rules! Their storyline should not be downplayed. Think their struggle provides great help to those who are still exploring the “coming out” process.
