FOX drama Shots Fired won’t have a second season. The series creators have said they weren’t ruling out the possibility of a second season but it seems like there won’t be one.
The 10-part drama explores the tense aftermath of two racially charged shootings in a small North Carolina town. The cast includes Sanaa Lathan, Stephan James, Helen Hunt, Richard Dreyfuss, Will Patton, Aisha Hinds, Conor Leslie, and Stephen Moyer.
Not only was Shots Fired planned as a limited series, but the show’s ratings have been pretty poor. Season one, which wraps next Wednesday night, is averaging a 0.89 rating in the 18-49 demo and 3.56 million viewers. Still, the viewership numbers make the drama FOX‘s seventh most-watched scripted series for the 2016-2017 season.
Earlier, creators Gina Prince-Bythewood and Reggie Rock Bythewood said there’s always a chance for a second season down the line.
Word has been that the series wasn’t going to be coming back. Both a network spokesperson and Prince-Bythewood have confirmed that May 24th’s season finale will also be the show’s series finale.

What do you think? Did you watch Shots Fired? Would you have watched a second season of this FOX series?
Bomb Show, FOX is canceling all the good shows, like this one and 24 Legacy
Yes I thought the show was a good show and was anticipating season 2
Please continue with season 2, great show!!
I would have LOVED to watch a second season of this show. It was very intriguing! Please bring it back!
yes I watched show didn’t miss an episode and I just knew it was going to be another season I’m pissed
I need this show to come back
I love the show shows some stuff nobody actually knew happened to a lot of people in the world i feel it should have a lot of ratings
Really enjoyed the show would love to see it return !!!!
I would definately watch a second season. Its even way better than other series with even a third season.
Yes, I’d like to see it return. Not everything is positive in life. This has a true to life storyline and it’s interesting with unique twists.
Great characters and excellent acting. It’s a good, realistic drama.
I’m sick of silly shows with no intelligence but just mindless drivel. The shows that are good drama need to stay.
I just finished watching and I’m so disappointed that this show is not returning back. YES I would love to see them work another case in a second season. PLEASE
I liked the cast, but I didn’t care for the story line. Its focused promoted way to much racism , we see enough of it on the news everyday, who want to relive all the lives of people who was killed in the storyline that was patrayed on the TV show , I was looking for something a little more positive but all the acting and the cast were great!
Yes I would love to see the main characters return in a second season, on a new case. I recently finished watching my recordings of season 1 and couldn’t wait to see next episode.
I recently just finished the series and couldn’t stop watching my recordings!
I LOVE the character interaction and the story line was full of emotion.
YES I would love to see them work another case in a second season.
This is typical Network Style kill a show that has a plot story and cast and I think it could carry over to another case in another Town/City…
