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.

I do Love this show “Gang Related” action, drama all the way, it would be really upsetting if the show was to be canceled, i look forward to the second Season…pls bring it back!
Please renew the show, my wife and I are hooked, and the unique plot based on the extremely difficult, double life predicament and emotional tight rope Ryan must walk in every episode feeds an outlet for every range of the base instincts that any human with intelligence can identify with…and the perfectly hand picked supporting cast is superior in the suspense rich, and moving dramatic exchange we are treated to week in and week out…Please do not succumb to the baseless trattle, and trailer trash critique that emanates from the naysayers who wouldnt recognize a truly original drama, if it… Read more »
Ratings are misleading.. I can’t watch it during it’s time slot cause of Work..I dvr it and watch it when I get home..I’m sure I’m not alone in this situation.. it’s a great show.
Breaking Bad was not a hit right off the bat…This show grabs your attention and doesn’t let go…but you have to give it your attention!!!…Great writing and sick plot twists with characters as dark as Breaking Bad’s were!
Please please renew gang related!! My new favorite show!!!!
Renew Gang Related for Season 2.
Renew it for another season! It’s a great show! And I hate to be left hanging. I would so love to see this show keep going, but if you ARE going to drop it, the least you could do is finish it out, give the viewers a proper closure to the show. I personally think you should keep it longer than just another season, I absolutely loved it and couldn’t wait each week for the next episode! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, renew it for at least another season, if not more!
