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 love this show. It is the best summer show ever. I am so addicted to the show. The acting is outstanding. The story line is just awesome and there have been so many twists and turns and many surprises. I’m always guessing. Along with the outstanding cast we have a great writer Mark Valdez, director Allen Hughes, producer Scott Rosenbaum. Gang Related for sure deserves a second chance. It left us all hanging and begging for more. FOXTV bring it back. I’m still shaking from tonight’s finale and wondering where it will go.
Renewal for season 2 it’s the best show ever
Awesome show! Best on TV right now!
Renew give it one more shot. Love show
it was good finally to see a good show to watch rather than the mass reality
shows which in my pinion is junk
I hope to see it back it was worth waiting from week-to-week
The only good thing on during the Summer. Can’t believe it has such low ratings. They better renew. I have a ton of friends that have just heard about the show from me and are now hooked. Maybe a poor job promoting the show is the issue?
I love this show! Give it another season to pick up more viewers! It’s well done and just needs to be marketed better.
Love it!! Renew please!!!
