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.
PHILKAS rules! Like Ed below I was hooked after watching episodes on a plane trip. Have caught up with on demand. Very interesting edge of seat story line. Enjoyed following character development for the roles of Helen, Phillip and Lukas. Would like to see series continue with this cast.
The show is awesome! I’m always on the edge of my seat. I think the low ratings are due to the fact that many people aren’t aware of the show. I only found out about it on an airplane. I never heard of it. I watched the first episode and I was hooked. I’ve been catching up on season 1 on demand. Please renew it for another season. And advertise! People will watch!
Keep it on for another season. You kept shootet for s second season. Eyewitness is very suspenseful. Love yhe show

I want season 2 if Philip and Lukas are in it.
Eyewitness has kept my interest. Great show. Please go forward with season 2.
I would like to see a season two of Eyewitness. One of the best shows I have seen in a long time.
I would definitely like to see season two. I found this show compelling.
Renew it but stop shoving the homosexual stuff down our throats. This show would have double the ratings if they would have been more subtle about it.
I agree. I don’t care if they are gay but their love scenes add nothing of interest to a fascinating story. Please do season 2.
Please tell them to keep the show on and bring us season 2! It had great acting, great mystery abc portrayed the gay feelings very sensitively!
I love the show. Please tell them to make a second season. It had great acting and great people and was sensitive to gay feelings and portrayed it very well.
I think it was great.. the acting and the storyline. I’m not sure what storyline they can come up with for a second season that would combine the relationship issue with a crime, but it should not be too hard .. I think it would be great to find out how the boys dealt with their friends finding out about their relationship and how Lukas’s father dealt with it; but obviously it needs some crime for Helen and Tony to solve. There could be some payback for the crime family being busted by their dealers that they have to deal… Read more »
Yes please bring on Season 2!!
Yes, I would watch season 2 of “Eyewitness.” I was disappointed that I found out about the series so late in the season. I do not recall seeing any advertising for it prior to it showing on USA Network. I thought the show was entertaining and I enjoyed all characters. Please do not allow this show to be another “Complications” which I also liked that never came back.
Definitely Yes very much enjoyed the series and more of Warren Christie please.
Please have a season 2!!!!! I’ve been impatiently waiting!! Love this show!!!
