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.
I don’t get USA in Canada and I never seen the show except on YouTube but what I have seen the show should go for season 2 and should follow the two boys and what they get into and the trouble they cause.
I NEED SEASON 2!!!! PLEASE!
SEASON 2 HELL YA!
BEST SHOW THIS YEAR!
Please Renew! I AM BEGGING. Switch timezones, give it more ads, social media accounts, commercials etc. and this show will have 1 million ratings in no time. Keep same casts and everything. We can still have people eye-witnessing different crimes and Helen can help figure them out developing her career.
I would only watch if they continue with the same characters. So few shows center on LGTB characters that I would just feel cheated if they had a new story arc. More Lucas and Philip would be amazing!
So true!
I loved this show it was fantastic! It had so many levels & twists & turns it was amazing. The cast was incredible ! I loved the relationships it was very real & authentic! & gutsy! the guys were beautiful! I am shocked in 2016 people
can’t handle it, sad……. because they did an phenomenal job!
Bravo! USA
The show is SO good, I could never forgive USA Network if they don’t make a season 2. People outside the USA are hype for this show, it could be the biggest thing.
I’d recorded the entire season to watch later. When I went to watch it, I made it about ten minutes into the first episode when the two boys started making out. Deleted the entire season, that’s my vote, and the reason it has bad ratings.
I don’t get it exactly… Why was it so wrong two boys making out? The whole show focuses on them? Yikes. Their relationship goes way further than just eye witnessing the murder but finding their strength to be real to themselves together. You’re missing an amazing story and drama, cheers
I’m not missing anything but the indoctrination. This is the reason the ratings suck, most people turned it off when that scene came on.
I read ratings.
Thought said 7.
Sounds good to me.
Still quality show.
Give it a chance and please get rid of some of your other garbage shows.
Thank you.
Yes…Yes…Yes!!!
Excellent show!!!
USA please don’t cancel the way you do other excellent shows.
Glades….What the heck happened there?
Bad move.
Great show.
Loved actor/character.
At least have a proper ending soon…We are all up in the air.
Needs to be renewed. Every good TV show getsome cancelled
Julianne Nicholson is great. The whodunit aspect of this show is good. However, the kissing between the 2 guys disrupts the flow of the show and should be lessened or eliminated.
I enjoyed the episodes and the excellent acting and positive depiction of two young men in love.
I would love to see season 2, and like the anthology format.
Yes I definitely would watch Season 2 and every season after that. The core cast of characters are simply amazing added with writers who know how to tell a great drama murder mystery and spill a love story right down the middle of it all! These people pull at your heart strings each and every episode. Bring on Season 2 Eyewitness USA with the same cast.
Yes, yes, yes!!! Was sad to see the season end. Please give us season 2.
