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.

What do you think? Did you hope that the APB TV show would be renewed for a second season? Are you upset that FOX has cancelled this series, instead?
Absolutely do not cancel! Give all of us a chance to get others hooked like we are. It is a “can’t wait to see the next one” show. All of this tech stuff is incredible and it appeals to every age group. I am in my 60”s and only email and text and I love it! PLEASE RENEW! Gideon”s personality is worth the whole hour! His dry wit is priceless. Really good writers and great casting. Hope it stays for a long run.
Deserves a second season. Really enjoy it.
Fox better not cancel APB. I WILL NOT WATCH FOX TV IF THEY DO
Please give APB a second season, I fell in love w/the whole cast and the whole concept of the show is just BRILLIANT!! I just love it b/c its so different than anything on television. I also want to see more scenes w/Gideon & Murphy b/c they light up the screen w/their bantering – him w/the brains and she w/the street smart detective who knows the streets. I think the cast is fantastic as well and I am so ready for season 2. PLEASE FOX!
APB is a great concept. Needs a little more action but I say give it a second season to work out the kinks
Please please please renew!!! Don’t cancel.
Love the cast…the technology, everything!
Please Renew
Please renew
Don’t cancel great show
Love this show. Please renew
Please do not cancel this show. I look forward to watching this show. I really think that is exciting. I really, really enjoy watching. Please renew for second season.
Love the show. Please renew!
I love the show. I go home earlier just so I don’t miss a minute of it. Don’t cancel it, pleeeease.
APB is the only thing I look forward on watching on a Monday night. Please bring second season for us. I love it!
This show really stinks. Corny lead actor, etc etc.
Please can it
I love this show and the characters in it – particularly Justin Kirk – and the stories are clever and extraordinarily timely given the current state of AI development and the potential impact on all of us. One of the things I most appreciate is that there’s finally a show that isn’t so dumbed down that it’s unwatchable. Smart People Rock! (Those creating the show and those watching the show.)
So how about a Season 2 or better still a Season 5?
