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.
Renew please
Renew and continue Phillip and Luckas love story
No! Philip & Lukas and Helen & Gabe had a happy ending, let them be. Let’s start next season with a new story in this ANTHOLOGY SERIES where James Paxton and Tyler Young play different characters who are involved romantically.
There are still so many storylines to tell with Philip, Lukas, Helen, and Gabe. And thankfully the producers have already said that they want to continue their stories if they get a season 2! Yes, it was originally supposed to be an anthology series, but it seems they changed their minds due to the huge outpouring of love there is for these characters on social media.
I did not even know about this series until Episode 6, then I watch episodes 1 to 5 “on demand” and waited anxiously each week for Sunday to watch the next episode. Now I am obsessed by it and watch it every day “on demand”. There has never been such a well written story, great performances by actors, no stereotypes and a great love story between 2 young men. I pray for a season 2.
My husband and I loved Eyewitness. Hope it returns in 2017. Excellent acting and story line!!
I didn’t start watching until episode 3 and only because I am an older viewer and work. I have a teenager and I totally fell for this show! It breaks the stereotypes of homosexuals which is awesome. I didn’t even see “Philip and Lukas” as boys but just as a love story. I enjoy Julianne and Gill and the rest of the cast. I think the time slot is an obstacle that if your a fan you will overcome as I have. I hope this does not get cancelled even if there are different characters.

no please…segunta temporada please
This show is amazing. Actors; music. We need season 2. With the same cast.
An international fan.
Eyewitness isn’t the classic teen show. It’s able to cross different fields and it’s a wonderful thing. at first I was skeptical, I didn’t think could be so exciting. If producers will decide to stop here, they will do a huge mistake. It’s a show that truly deserves a lot. It’s fabulous and I love it immensely. Please, we need them.
best show ever. please, we want season 2!
If anyone that will keep the show going will read this then PLEASE GIVE US SEASON 2, I’M ASKING ALL THE WAY FROM ARGENTINA PLEASE!!! Consider the fact that there are thousands and thousands of people that have followed, fell in love and watched the show all of this time, from all around the world, not only the US. Please!!!
BEST SHOW EVERRR. IT CAN’T BE ONE SEASON WITHOUT A SECOND SEASON!!! THE WHOLE WORD LOVE IT!!!
Absolutely. Best show of the year. Cinematography was amazing for television.
I will absolutely watch a second season of Eyewitness —- it’s the thing that’s at the top of my tv wish list for 2017! This show has been my tv highlight this year – it’s so well-written and acted, and the characters and relationships are so compelling and engaging. Eyewitness deserves much higher ratings. Hopefully the network realizes what a gem they have and will promote it to hell and back!
it would unwise of usa not to renew this show. It’s writing is superb and the acting gives me chills. I would love to watch another season, so please RENEW!!
Yes definitely. Very well written and acted show. One of the best. It’s was riveting. I can’t believe it’s cancelled.
It’s not cancelled yet. Let’s keep our fingers crossed the network will give it a second season!
