Eyewitness creator Adi Hasak has confirmed plans for Season 2 of the USA Network crime anthology series, per Deadline:
The show was sold as an anthology. I’m really enamored with shows likeAmerican Horror Story and American Crime. I told USA that this would be an anthology called Eyewitness where every season would be told from the point of view of someone who witnesses a crime. That meant that the show would be resolved at the end of Season 1.
The remarkable thing, though, about the show was that we know it’s a not a whodunit. By the end of the first eight minutes we know who the killer is, and in that sense what this really is — it is a character study trapped inside a thriller. So it’s not one of these shows, a murder in a small town. What that allows is to put almost all the genre components on the side and then delve in the characters and in the relationships, the marriage of the sheriff, the two gay boys, and the FBI agent and her sister.
The anthology format means the cancellation stakes are lower for Eyewitness from a plot perspective, but it wont want to be a one-and-done with the second season already on the agenda.
Don’t miss a thing – stay tuned for the very latest cancel/renew updates for Eyewitness Season 2…
