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.
Good show but nothing compared to sons of anarchy
Bull****! #BringGangRelatedBack
At first I didn’t think I was going to like this show. The first episode was just kind of ho-hum for me, but I kept watching. Then a funny thing happened. I fell in love with the show & found myself eagerly awaiting each new episode! And then last night’s season finale episode was AWESOME! While it gave some closure to parts of it, there are still plenty of story lines that are still unanswered. I would just ask the network to please give this great show a chance.
Please do not cancel this show you guys need to advertise it more so people can know about this show. The writing and storyline is great. Please give it another try. I don’t watch fox but because of this show I do..I hope another network picks it up I am a fan of this show
Gang Related is one of the best shows on TV. The storyline and the actors are terrific! Tonight’s finale was great and it kept my husband and me on the edge of our seats. I have a feeling FOX won’t renew this show, which is upsetting! It would be great if a cable network picked it up. However, if the finale is the last show of the series, at least there was some closure at the very end.
I started watching Gang Related since the very first showing and I can tell my fellow Facebook family and friends are very excited about what is going to happen on the second season plz renew show.the show has twist and we don’t know who or why but then it makes sense. Thats what we like about it . It is awsome! We love all the characters on the show.
I love this show. They seem to cancel all the good shows….
I almost never watch shows on regular network television. This show stepped outside the box and tried to be different. I wouldn’t have known about it if I didn’t catch the coming attraction for the show when I was channel surfing. I loved it from the first episode and looked forward to it each week. Very sad to see it go. I will be upset if it gets cancelled. They should take into consideration that it’s summer and a lot of people are away on vacation. That could explain the low ratings. Maybe they can change seasons and do more… Read more »
This was getting very intense I hope they have another season !!!! I wanna what’s goons happen while Daniel Is in control
This is the best show of the summer. Please give it another season to pick up more viewers, but Fox needs to do some advertising to market the show better. I found it by accident and I’m so glad that I did. Please …….. one more season.
This show needs to be green lit for a second season. Me and my woman are always busy but look forward to Thursday nights to shut everything else out and watch. Only series on T.V that keeps us at the edge of our seats. Plus it saves me from having to watch The Kardashians or whatever other non sense reality show she gets into. Something we both like to watch together. The writers are geniuses.
Look I’m A @GangRelatedAddict!! I LOVE THIS SHOW!! WHILE RATINGS MAY BE LOW IT HAS A VERY STRONG&GOOD FANBASE ON SOCIALMEDIA!! WE ALL ARE SAYIN THAT #WEWANTSEASON2GANGRELATED!!! SO PAY ATTENTION TO US AND #RENEWIT!! #BRINGIT BACK!!! IT’S GOT A GREAT CAST AND WRITERS AS WELL AS PRODUCER!! JUST LISTEN TO US FANS!!! OKAY???
My husband and I look forward to this show, Gang Related, every Thursday. Even during vacation, we made time to watch it. Please give it a chance. Give us season 2.
I think the show should be renewed for a second season. One season is not enough. Since Sons of Anarchy is in it’s final season, many fans will be looking for something else to sink into. I also think change the time to 10pm. Viewers of major tv series are used to the 10pm window. Give GR a go for a second season then see how the numbers are. Some of us are promoting this thing like crazy. Do I need to get my people to call their people? Tell me who? =) I mean there is even a canned… Read more »
Best show ever….hands down…..I want more. It always had me at the edge of my seat. Great actors sad Jessica had to die. Please re-new the show.
