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 keep it going. Great show. So different than all there other police shows.
please dont cancel. only show i watch right away above all others. it never occured to me there might be a chance of cancellation because the show is so gritty and real. the last two episodes were water cooler conversation and i believe alot of people will go watch it on demand or online. word spread.
DONT rush to judgement, wait to see final dvr and on demand numbers. this show deserves a full season.
PLEASE RENEW
I love the show & the season finale left a lot to go on with….Please Renew!
I love this show – love it!!! I can’t wait until Thursdays to watch. The season finale had me on the edge of my seat!! So many spins it has my head spinning but in a good way. I can’t wait until next season – please be a next season! I so sick and tired of Networks canceling good shows! This one needs to live on!!
The show is one of the best ones out in a long time. I absolutely loved it and couldn’t wait for Thursday nights to come, so that I could watch it!!!! Please, please, please renew this for another season!!!
I love this show!!!! I can’t wait for Thursday’s to watch Gang Related!! Please renew this show!!!!! PLEASE
I love this show. Please bring it back. My husband n I are hooked! It dragged at first and we were about to stop watching but we gave it one more week and everything changed. This is our number one show!!!
This show had action, suspense, but too little experienced actors. I enjoyed the show but in a time of reality shows and goof ball shows, the truth often gets over looked. This show is definitely real. Maybe not real characters but these stories are very true out west and mexico. I hope it is renewed and picks up a cult following somehow. They left a small open for the possibility…better than nothing I guess.
Please this is one of the best shows I have ever seen. Ramon Rodriguez and the rest of the cast are stunning. I love this show!
excellent…each and every episode…bring it back
THIS SHOW WAS SO GREAT I REALLY HOPE FOR A SEASON 2 !!!
My husband and i cant wait to watch this show every week…AMAZING!!!!
MUST BE RENEWED….PLEASE!!!!!
I love Gang Related its a great show
The finale was the real deal. Fox bring it back.
It’s a cliff hanger! An excellent storyline and great show. I can’t wait for Season 2, PLEASE BRING IT BACK! Definitely agree with Lorraine, season 2 should reveal D.A. Ellis. I think it should include: the voice mail not being something bad about Ryan and give him a second chance in life. Carlos walks again and has battles with Daniel and or forms his own gang. El Mozo get’s death penalty, Matias get’s what he really deserves by the hands of Daniel. And Daniel protects Ryan being his best friend and runs the world. KEEP TIO ALIVE! I love that… Read more »
I dont think Daniel is Ryan’s friend anymore the tides have changed and i think we r going to see his true colors when sylvia will run again to ryan and tell him that Daniel is the one is charge and Carlos anger towards his father’s betrayal will bring ryan and carlos into an aliance…. God THEY BETTER BRING BACK SEASON 2!!!!!!
My husband and I have truly enjoyed the show! Please don’t cancel!!
