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.
awesome show don’t cancel it. SEASON 2 PLEASE
Please don’t take Gang Related off. It is a great show with a lot of suspense and it keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what is going to happen next. Also a great group of actors. Try moving to another night before cancelling it.
I love this show . Its the new sons of anarchy
The writing for this show is excellent and well thought out. The acting of the characters are believable. The show primired at the end of the school year and is airing at a time when people are traveling children are out of school and families are in motion. Not a lot of television watching. The age demographic that would watch this show are on the move. This show should be given a second chance because the skills of the actors and writers are too good to waste. Let me know what I can do to help the show remain on… Read more »
I love this show. I so hope the network does not cancel it. I look forward to watching it every week. And the season finale left you wondering what would happen next. With all the reality shows and sitcoms, Gang Related is a nice change.
PROMOTE ” GANG RELATED ” PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL. . . BEST SHOW ON T V . IT’S A COMBINATION OF THE SOPRANO’ S & THE SHIELD
This is one of the best written shows on TV. It portrays the battle of an individuals allegiance to so called evil family to his good family. We love this show and I hope it is renewed for at least one more season or move it to FX, where shows like this do well and you can be a little more loose with the language, blood, and gore.
I absolutely love this show and I hope there is a 2nd season! The twists and turns kept me and my family on edge and this is one of the best shows out there. The entire cast is great and I have not missed an episode. Fox needs to advertise because I stumbled across this show by channel surfing. Get the word out there somehow but do not cancel this show!!!
Who needs another cooking show? Please renew this series. The cast is incredible. The shows are gripping.
Keep the show it’s great and you will get a following once people know it will last. There is nothing else good on, season 2 and more please.
Gang related was great this season please don’t take it off
LOVE IT!! Do not cancel!
Cannot wait for season 2. Hopefully. Fox needs to realize not many people watch tv in the summer. So much potential for the show. Looking forward to see how Daniel does ad head of the family and how Carlos is now learning to walk.
Please renew this show, it is a gripping drama and better than watching reality shows! This show has true grit!!!
I love this show! I look forward to Thursday nights! Please renew!
