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.
Please renew Ramon Rodriguez is awesome and so are the rest if the gang.
Very much a new Shield like the way some if the cast from that show are in this one.
There is a lot of shiws for them to compete with but the advertisement wasn’t very strong for this show unlike others. Maybe if you public use it more it would get the number you want as it is a great show, edge of your seats. Please don’t cancel
Hell kitchen and you think you can dance have better rating?!… Wow people have severely ****** tastes here…
I really hope this show isn’t cancelled, it was really addicting! I watched it on Hulu, I hope that counts in their rating. I cancelled my cable tv subscription because I couldn’t take it anymore with all their millions ads and terrible news quality it is total garbage.
OMG! this is the best show since SOA and if FOX cancels this they are just plain stupid or this countries viewers have really lost their way with keeping shows like Honey Boo Boo and the list of stupid shows are endless……… This show has such great drama and the writing of it is tops! You are on the edge of your seat each episode there is not enough of these good shows on TV and FOX OMG move the time slot if needed to keep this great show going!!!!
PLEASE DON’T CANCEL!!!!! You KNOW some shows need time to attract more viewers & a following. I promise we will get the word out!!!! FAV show this season!!!!
I really hope FOX renews this show!!!! Every episode gets more intense!!! If FOX drops it, I hope it gets picked up by FX or Spike….if so, I can see it getting more intense like how “The Shield” was. Please someone….pick this show up!!!!!!
There is no doubt in my mind that a Gang Related should come back! There was not enough advertising this past season and I only learned of the show from WOM. Get on E! News and you’ll be golden!
I would love to see more. I love the
show and didn’t miss not one. I look
forward to see what happens next.

Please do not cancel show! Finally some must see tv
It’s a cliff hanger! An excellent storyline and great show. PLEASE BRING IT BACK for season 2. It’s the only good show on TV I watch and really look forward to seeing the next episode. I will be very sad if FOX doesn’t return this show. I can’t wait for Season 2! Definitely agree with Lorraine, season 2 should bust the D.A. Ellis. I also think it should include Carlos being able to walk again and has battles with Daniel and or forms his own gang, the voice mail not being something bad about Ryan and give him a second… Read more »
PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW. I love it. I though the story line was good and all the actors are good in their role. At the end of the show I want more I did not want it to end. The finale was GREAT!! How can people not like this show?
Please renew for Season 2! The writer’s are doing a fantastic job of sucking you in to tune in til the next episode! love this show! have not been addicted to watching a show in years!
If Fox decides not to renew I hope another network picks it up. This is the best show I’ve watched in a long time. Every single episode kept me on the edge of my seat. There is still so much they could do with the next season.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE renew this show. It’s very good.
We love it in our household, & love all the actors except the D.A. Didn’t see Jessica being killed and really hated that. Love Terry O’Quinn….Please give him a chance. Thanks, Lorine
What a fantastically written show. They say , Ryan Lopez is the mole but they don`t have the duffle bag. Season 2 should be about getting the D.A. Ellis because she is a mole also… PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Do not cancel the show.
The show was what used to be called a “Summer replacement.” Does anything remain for new episodes next Summer? Maybe. But regardless of the talent of the actors, Daniel and Carlos cannot carry the show in the same way that Xavier did, and if Xavier is not dead, he’ll be doing hard time. (It would strain credulity for Carlos to recover the use of his legs). Ryan would have to be either prosecuted or converted to an undercover C.I., in both cases a weaker story than Ryan as a cop. The audience knows that the female D.A. is corrupt, so… Read more »
