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 for season 2!! I love this show so much! Amazing cast! So much emotion and depth in their acting. The world needs more Gang Related!
Renew. Fox has not done a good job of promoting the show, but we have managed to keep up through On Demand. Definitely worth at least one more season. Great acting, but people don’t seem to know about it.
Very well written by a very talented creator Chris Morgan great cast and lots of action.
Renew it’s a great show, the story line and characters were great. Fox was missing a great show like this they would be a fool not to bring it back
Season Finale was ridiculously great. The show definitely needs to be advertised more if it’s renewed
Please renew it!!!. My spouse and I look forward to watching it every Thursday. When we’re not home we make it our business to record it. 2nd season please#!!!!!

You ABSOLUTELY have to bring this show back. I know a lot of people including myself who haven’t missed an episode. Yes the ratings are probably not what you expected, it’s the summer a lot of ppl are vacationing and working crazy hours. I know it will do really good in the fall, especially with Ramon Rodriguez sexy self. I can only dream to have a man like that. Lol #TeamRyan bring back Gang Related
