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?
Was always looking forward to watching APB. I told plenty of friends and family about the movie. I hope that is season two is on the way. Long live APB !!!!!!!!
High-tech crime fighting is a great new theme. Gideon’s arrogance is developing into determined care for what they’re doing. Keep it going!
Good show.. needs to be renewed
Best cop show ever…. PLEASE RENEW…
Renewed
Please renew ApB for season 2
Please don’t cancel that show. It had great effects and action. Loved it. Was one of my favorite shows that I looked forward to watching.
Please renew APB!! It is a fantastic show and we have looked forward to seeing this every week!
APB Is a good show. It has good drama and is relevant as tech is needed to combat modern crime.
Awesome new show. Absolutely needs to be renewed!
I hope they renew it, its been a long while since i actually looked forward to watch something on tv.
This show is well done with really good characters. Maybe they should try a different time slot. IDK but of all the new shows this year, this was my favorite.
this program is much better than most other tv shows. it needs to be back for at least another full season.
Whaaaat No season 2
Please please please can we have a season 2
Forget the 18-45ers…we are in our mid 60s and we LOVE “APB!” Please don’t cancel it. My husband’s Dad and several of his Uncles were Detroit Police Officers, so law enforcement is near and dear to our hearts…add the “techno-geek” aspect, and we old farts on the fringe of being computer-savvy are having a BLAST with all the possibilities this show offers. My hubby’s theory for a season 2 opener has Gideon bringing the Mayor back through the use of cybernetics. We’re just dying to see if he’s right!!
