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.
Please,PLease, REnew For A Second Season 2!!!!!!
I Love This Show
Bring back the show for season 2…can’t end it like that need more

Very good cast and very good show, please renew
PLEASE RENEW A GREAT SERIES. Just love gang related. Don’t understand the ratings
Gang related is outstanding. Get rid of some of these reality shows and give us more of series like GANG RELATED.
Please do not cancel Gang Related. It is a really good show with lots of twist and turns. We want to see season 2!
One day the viewing public will turn to cable if we are not able to watch full shows to a end. This is a great one. KEEP IT ON
Renew it!! But this is fox and cancel everything. So who knows
Please continue with season 2 !!!!! This was the only show I really looked forward since 24 ended. And all my other shows(The Following, Homeland and Blacklist) don’t start until Sept. It was an amazingly written show and had amazing actors and great action/suspense every week. I would me so mad I had to wait a week to see what happens next. Fans I feel will be extremely disappointed if we don’t know how it really ends. Not sure for the reason for poor ratings. Loved it !!!
My family just love this show. Please we want a season 2. You can’t cancel it is a great series.
Please continue second season
This show is definitely on the same level of awsome as SOA, I agree its Foxs fault for not promoteing this show enough is why the ratings arent where they should. I was hooked from the first episode. They have to bring a season 2!!!
Bring the show for season 2 even if it’ll be the last season just please season 2
I love the show. Id be so ashamed if they cancelled it.. Please renew!
Please, Please bring back “Gang Related”. Everyone I know who watches it loves it. Cast is excellent!! The finale was so poignant brought a tear ato my eye. So listen to the viewrs and PLEASE bring it back next season!!!!!!!
