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.
Love the show, the acting and the story line
if you guys don’t renew season 2 u would be dumb this is the best series I have seen in very long time please renew it
This show will pick up I didn’t here about it until the fifth episode got hulu plus just to catch up ! So if fox doesn’t take the chance on a second season then amx or el rey should because the writers did a great job setting up scenario for the future .look at the crap the other networks have it figures good shows with potential get canceled . If fox doesn’t continue then a real network should but it on showtime or hbo somewhere they can really explore there writing skills .
This show is awesome! My family and I absolutely love it and have been on the edge of our seats since episode 1. I can’t believe the ratings are so low. Please don’t cancel!!! PLEASE!!!
Renew!!! Love this show
Are you serious? I am completely shocked right now. My boyfriend and I look forward to this show every week. It was a good show to keep us going until Sons in a few weeks. Every single episode was exciting to watch; I can’t even recall one bad episode. PLEASE renew for another season!!!!
My husband and I love Gang Related. Please bring the show back for the second season.
Are you kidding me!!! I LOVE this show, I think it’s ashame that you put a new show on and boom pull it.. That’s not fair and Fox seems to be pros at it.. I’m getting to where I don’t want to watch anything on fox…
Keep it! LOVE the show!!! A friend told me about it midseason and I am hooked. Never saw a commercial for the show, just word of mouth. Maybe its ratings are not the fault of the show, but poor advertising on Networks end???
It is a great show exciting characters please bring it back there is so much more to finish
Bring back gang related for season 2 ,love the show…..
Great show! Intense, must renew for 2nd season
