‘Eyewitness’ Stars Tyler Young, James Paxton React To Series’ GLAAD Media Awards Win

“Eyewitness” won the outstanding TV movie or limited series category at the 28th GLAAD Media Awards, which took place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles on Saturday, April 1. Although series stars Tyler Young and James Paxton weren’t there to accept the award themselves, both actors took to social media to address the show’s win.

In an Instagram post, Young — who played Philip Shea on the series — thanked everyone for their continued support and commitment to the show. He also revealed how he wished he could have been at the awards night to see it happen live, but he needed to stay in Halifax, Nova Scotia in Canada to continue filming his first feature film, “Polaroid.”

Paxton, who portrayed Philip’s lover, Lukas Waldenbeck, also thanked the fans via Instagram for their endless support. He also gave credit to the show’s creator, Adi Hasak, and to the team of writers and directors who all contributed to the show’s success. Paxton ended his post with a little nod to his dad Bill Paxton, who passed away just this February.

Hasak and show writer Jennifer Coté also took to social media to address the series’ win at GLAAD Media Awards. Read their tweets below:

USA Network canceled “Eyewitness” after one season last month. But Hasak, who developed the thriller based on the Norwegian show “Øyevitne,” revealed that the Julianne Nicholson-led series may not be dead yet. Shortly after Deadline broke the cancellation news, Hasak wrote in a series of tweets that he’s working hard to find a new home for the show.

On March 16, Hasak announced on Twitter that his production company Adi TV Studios has partnered up with Here Media Inc. and Here TV, who are both dedicated to helping the show find a new home.
