What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the FOX television network, APB follows billionaire engineer Gideon Reeves (Justin Kirk). The Chicago Police Department is spiraling out of control thanks to high crime, officer-involved shootings, cover-ups, corruption, and under-funding. After witnessing his best friend’s murder, Reeves resolves to change all that. He puts up millions of dollars of his own money to take charge of the troubled 13th District and reboots it as a technically innovative police force. Teaming with street-smart Detective Theresa Murphy (Natalie Martinez) and tech wiz Ada Hamilton (Caitlin Stasey), Reeves embarks on a mission to create a crime-fighting force for the 21st century. Ernie Hudson, Taylor Handley, Tamberla Perry, and Nestor Serrano also star.
Season One Ratings
The first season of APB averaged a 0.78 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.43 million viewers. Find out how this new series stacks up against the other FOX TV shows.
On May 11, 2017, APB was cancelled so there won’t be a second season. Could it be revived somehow? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
The APB TV show had a solid premiere on FOX but saw a huge drop in week two and dropped further in the weeks that have followed. I suspect that, though FOX really wants to establish new dramas, this one isn’t one of them and APB will be cancelled.
5/11 update: FOX has cancelled the APB TV show after one season. Details here.
