Freeform’s original scripted shows typically air on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights. Now, the cable channel is branching out and scheduling The Watchful Eye on Monday evenings. Will the audience find it, or do timeslots not even matter anymore? Will The Watchful Eye be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
A mystery thriller series, The Watchful Eye TV show stars Mariel Molino, Warren Christie, Kelly Bishop, Amy Acker, Jon Ecker, Lex Lumpkin, Henry Joseph Samiri, and Aliyah Royale. The story follows Elena Santos (Molino), a bright and savvy young woman hired as the live-in nanny to a wealthy widower and his young son. When Elena moves into The Greybourne, a landmark Manhattan apartment building, she quickly learns about the complex politics among its wealthy inhabitants and a history riddled with mystery and tragedy. Luckily, Elena is more than equipped to handle anything that comes her way on her own terms. Elena works for Matthew (Christie), a self-made and handsome architect who’s dealing with grief and confusion over his wife’s death and its impact on his intelligent and withdrawn son, Jasper (Samiri). Tory (Acker) is Matthew’s sister-in-law who takes an instant dislike to the fresh-faced and eager young nanny.
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 of survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
Note: These are the final national ratings, including all live+same day viewing and DVR playback (through 3:00 AM). Early fast affiliate ratings (estimates) are indicated with an “*”. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.
What do you think? Do you like The Watchful Eye TV series on Freeform? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
*7/1/23 update: Freeform has cancelled The Watchful Eye after one season.
RENEW! I just love this show so much, great cast, so much chemistry, I enjoy the relationship building between Matthew and Elena, the characters are solid, fun and the plots a breath of fresh air, we needed characters strong, vulnerable, diverse but no victimized or politically woke. And little Jasper is such a cute kid, going through so much, all the scenes between him and Elena, are adorable, she really cares about him. Please you need to renew this amazing show.
Absolutely loved this series and would love to see it come back with even more juicier plots and shocking twists
I am very particular about any series that I watch. The Watchful Eye gets an A+ rating from me. I think it would definitely have more of a viewing audience if there was some type of advertising about it. I found it by mistake. Definitely a happy mistake. PLEASE renew it for a second season. PLEASE!!!
I think watchful eye should be Renewed I was late watching this program as I didn’t see much advertising about it but I really enjoyed it. I have recommended it to family members please renew.
lol terrible show
considering the stats don’t account for delayed watchers it’s not fair to rely on them to make a decision to renew. second season all the way! best mystery series i’ve seen in a while it would be a shame to cut it short
Need to be renewed keeps me guessing about plot twists
Needs a second season!!! On the edge of my seat
97000 viewers, why would anyone renew something with such awful stats… it never really got off the ground and those swings up but mostly down aren’t exactly what you’d want as a producer i think….
RENEW
Definitely RENEWED!
