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 this amazing show. I am looking forward to new episodes. The story isn’t finished. Cast & crew please continue with your great work.
We love it! Renew! Renew!
Please renew this show. I love it!
Awesome show, we need a season two. Bring it back!!!!
My husband and I really enjoyed the show. We are hoping for a second season! There should have been more advertisement, because when I ask family members if they’ve seen it they say they haven’t heard of it.
Why not renew it?! There’s nothing else that’s really stealing the show. Except for 24 which is the only this I tend to watch on FOX before Gang Related came around.
Renew!!!!
Please, please, please renew Gang Related….I know so many people that watch this show and love it. Now I don’t know if people set it to record or watch it online later effect ratings, but if so, I’ll tell everybody they have to watch it live for season 2.
Thank You
RENEW IT IS AWESOME MAYBE BECAUSE IT CAME ON IN THE SUMMER MOST PEOPLE ON VACATION I RECOMMEND GANG RELATED TO MANY PEOPLE AND AFTER THE FIRST EPISODE THEY BECAME ADDICTED
You might be right . About most people’s are on vacation or no time to watch TV who knows
You finally get a decent action packed show instead of all the crappy reality shows and you don’t know if ur going to renew it?? If Gang Related is not renewed I’m pretty much done with FOX!!!
If it was up to the comments on this website this show is a definite renew and I agree. Need more action packed shows like this. This is a money maker Fox don’t pass it by.
Bring it back, best on TV can’t wait for season 2
We like the show! We are over 59, but realize we don’t count.We have watched the whole season.Why can’t it be renewed? ! Just saying! !!
Yes, my family has looked forward to watching the series week. We think it is a gripping crime drama. Please continue season 2.
Love the show. Look forward to it each week.
