Tonight marks the season finale of Gang Related on FOX. It’s been a season of twists and turns but have the ratings been strong enough for the show to be renewed for a second season — or will it be cancelled instead?
On Gang Related, a police detective (Ramon Rodriguez) is torn between his allegiance to his job and co-workers and the gang and crime family that raised him. The cast also includes Terry O’Quinn, RZA, Jay Hernandez, Sung Kang, Inbar Lavi, Cliff Curtis, and Shantel VanSanten.
The series debuted at the end of May to a 0.9 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.94 million viewers. That was a poor showing right out of the gate and, over the course of the season, the ratings have gotten even worse. Last week’s episode installment hit a new low with a 0.6 demo rating and just 2.01 million viewers.
The season’s averaged a 0.8 rating with 2.56 million. Compared to the network’s other summer shows, Gang Related is performing well behind MasterChef, 24, Hotel Hell, and So You Think You Can Dance.
Though expectations are lower for summer series, it’s highly unlikely that FOX will want to renew Gang Related for a second season. The ratings are just too low — and they’ve essentially been getting worse week after week. More than likely, the execs will roll the dice and try a new program next year.
But, what do you think? Should Gang Related be cancelled or renewed for a second season? If you ran the network, what would you do?
UPDATE: FOX has cancelled Gang Related after one season.
Renew! Loved this show..give it a chance..And, Fox…not much promotion for this show on your part..huh? How are you going to get a following if you don’t promote. You’re so quick to “cut”, and that’s part of “your” problem. You don’t give a series a chance..Last…way to many commercials..Wake up Fox, or you’re going to lose some viewers..I’ve seen it with other good “series”…you just “cut”..Maybe some changes from within????
I really hope this show gets renewed. I have loved this season and would love to see more. I started watching the show because I love Terry O’Quinn but loved the show from the first episode and look forward to it each week. This is a show with a great story line and characters that I can (and do) care for. Please renew it! I’d hate to see it get cancelled simply because it was a “summer show”.
Renew please
RENEW IT…… The show is awesome !!!!
Please, please renew my family and I look foward to the show every thursday night
Please leave the show cause it’s a really good/bad cop show and just when you think of will end one way it takes a different turn. Never missed a show and you just can’t leave the ending that way. We want more..
