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.
My family and I LOVE LOVE this show! Please bring it back for another season! It gives us an insight to police corruption and their involvement with gangs.
LOVE THIS SHOW! Please renew for second season! The finale sets up a perfect, exciting second season!
They should renew it. I found it entertaining kudos to Fox for a better portrayal of the Hispanic talent than the TV shows promoted on Telemundo. I would prefer people being interested in viewing a Fox depicted television show instead of seeing the real torturous acts involved in such gang activity as can be viewed on the internet. The suspense was as good as The Following and NBC’s Blacklist.
Please Please keep this show going I Love watching even though I have to record it and watch it at a different time I don’t miss a episode Please keep it going I can’t wait for the season to come out on DVD I will be purchasing it ❤❤❤❤❤
