It's one and done for USA Network's "Eyewitness". USA Network has opted to cancel the drama after one low-rated season, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Picked up straight to series in January 2016, the drama was based on the Norwegian crime thriller Øyevitne and centered on two innocent teenage boys who secretly witness a shooting in the forest and barely escape with their lives. Desperate to keep their relationship a secret and in fear of being found by the shooter, they remain silent, but soon learn that what has been seen cannot be unseen and witnessing such a horrible event changes everything.
Julianne Nicholson starred in the drama from "Shades of Blue" creator Adi Hasak, who adapted the series for USA and served as executive producer and showrunner.
Jarl Emsell Larsen and Scott Peters exec produced. Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight) exec produced the pilot and directed the first two episodes of the series, which hailed from Universal Cable Productions.
"Eyewitness" marks a rare one-and-done for USA Network and joins recent flops including "Complications", "Rush" and comedy "Benched".
