It looks like its case closed for fans of the Deputy TV series. FOX has decided not to order a second season of the Thursday night TV show for the 2020-21 season.
A crime drama, Deputy stars Stephen Dorff as Bill Hollister, a fifth-generation lawman who is thrust into the role of Los Angeles County Sheriff after the elected sheriff dies. The show’s cast also includes Yara Martinez, Brian Van Holt, Bex Taylor-Klaus, Shane Paul McGhie, and Mark Moses.
The first season of Deputy averaged a 0.58 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.67 million viewers. Deputy had a mediocre start in the ratings when it launched in January but the ratings slid downward over the course of the season. The show’s 13th and final installment aired last week.
Deputy is FOX’s second-lowest rated dramatic series of the season. The lowest-rated drama, Almost Family, has already been cancelled.

What do you think? Have you seen the Deputy TV series? Would you have watched season two?
I really liked the Deputy, very well acted drama series. Steven Dorff is fantastic as the lead with a great supporting ensemble cast. Shame on you Fox! You keep all these stupid reality type shows or cartoonish crap on for years but along comes a great drama that peaks your interest right out of the box and you cancel? Idiots

WHY, WHY, WHY????? The best show on Fox, real, honest, addressing abuse in a SMART,
non-violent manner, I just don’t understand, give the show an opportunity to build its base.
At least a second season. Acting, SUPERIOR, REAL, HONEST AND FAIR. Please renew or offer to someone else to pick up the show. If I were rich, pick it up in a heart beat!!!!!! I guess cartoon shows, abusive cook shows matter MORE.
Great show. Can’t believe it was canceled especially with the build up to the election. Someone should reconsider.
bring Deputy back give them time to find a bigger audience. Love this show.
I really love the deputy
I thought Deputy was one of the best shows. I hope someone will pick it up.
This is a great show – can’t believe it has been cancelled!
Our family loved that show. Real diversity and something for every age group. Why do they always cut the best shows. They should have kept it and moved it to a time slot that would allow it to shine even more.
One of your best shows in a while!
“Show ranking” on the right of this article shows it as 9.64/10
Reads like it is the 2nd highest ranked.
With FOXes history of killing show that go on to be cult classics, and everyone bagging on them for cancelling great shows… I think I see their issue:
They read their charts upside-down.
We loved the Deputy!
I’m so sorry to hear you canceled Deputy. Both my husband and I really enjoyed the series. I was so looking forward to the election to see if Bill won. Mistake on your part.
Keep the Deputy. It only takes one dumb ??? to drop a great show, but it also only takes one with better insight and more in touch with it’s audience to save a great show. Please don’t let the deputy series slip away. Enough with the phony reality shows.
Absolutely, wife, 2 daughter, 2 son in laws, 5 grand kids, plus many friends enjoy Deputy
