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 bring it back for season 2. Good cast, with a great story.Maybe let it come back on fx so show can get away with more graphic content.It could make up for SOA that’s going of the air.
Try this show out in the fall or winter. Historically, Summer is a bad time to debut a new series. I believe gang related is a good show. Give it a chance… I also believe canceling “Surviving Jack” was a mistake…
Please renew!!! We love it, suspenseful finale
We love this show. Please don’t cancel it!!! Please renew!!!
Please renew, excellent show!
RENEW RENEW RENEW BRING BACK GANG RELATED for A 2nd SERIES
RENEW RENEW RENEW GANG RELATED!
We should start a petition to get at least one more season. The ratings kind of sucked but it has a loyal following. Maybe a better night and time will help. Or perhaps putting it on another network. Does anyone know what it costs to make per episode? Or what night and time is historically good for this type of show? What lead in does best? Anyway, I’m behind starting a petition.

Renew gang related hour season 2
Watched every episode. I was captivated by the story line – particularly Ryan Lopez’ obvious dilemma. I figured he’d be killed off at the end of the season – and end up being the bad guy everybody had a soft spot for. I hope they continue to develop the story line with a season two. The writers are really backed into a corner with Lopez having committed murder – and on the verge of being exposed by IAD – good luck with that one.
I hope Gang Related is given the chance to give their fans a second season. I think the acting is great, for the most part. The actors truly fit the characters that they portray. PLEASE RENEW!!!
Please renew this series. We are not in your targeted demographics a. We are seniors and I imagine there are others like us who love this series.
You have to renew this show! This show has all drama and suspense anyone could ever ask for! Please run a second season! The problem is it runs aginst Big Brother! But I promise it is recorded and watched!
