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 it! Well played, well acted.
There must be a mistake with the rating, this show is amazing. Please renew for a season 2 !!!!!
Omg NO DONT CANCEL! Hard to believe last week had the lowest and it was the most intense episode. This show has all sorts of twists and turns, keeping us on the edge of our seats. Great show!
I hope fox renews the show, it has a great script, spectacular cast. We watch every week. Perhaps additional marketing will get the ratings up.
It’s a great show. I want to continue watching.
Great show!! Please renew!!
great show want a season 2 the storyline is great
the show is perfect ,, any show at 1st season or 1st 3 to 6 episodes confusing looks at breaking bad,, Spartacus and suits all those shows stars slowly .
I’m from England and it’s hard to stay late to watch ,,
best of luck
OMG PLEASE PLEASE RENEW. IT SHOW SHOULD BE PROMOTED BETTER…PLEASE GIVE US A SECOND SEASON. THIS SHOW GIVES ME LIFE!!!
Omgggg plssss renew it!!
We are sad to hear that this show might not come back next year. The writing is amazing and I actually considered writing the network to congratulating them on finally stumping my husband. He always has an accurate ( pretty obnoxiously spot on ) prediction of what direction shows are going and he did not see that ending coming at all.
Please bring it back!!
How is there low rating? This show is the best show on tv , everyone I no watches this show , we need 2nd season
Omg… What are you guys talking about. It’s like the best summer show next to Graceland(usa). Please bring this show back…
Don’t cancel!!! But if you are, please let me know what your plans were for the second season!!!
