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! My husband and I can’t wait for Thursday night to watch this show! We love the story line and its too exciting of an ending to not bring it back!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RENEW!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please renew it! 🙁 It’s a good drama that has other stories that could be developed. I really liked it, especially because you have diversity in the cast that can actually speak fluently other languages. I hope the network brings it back.
Please renew. Great show.
Pls renew it was just bad time to air bc it’s summer time. Pls renew and promote show better!!! Best show on fox since prison break.
Please renew this show!! Since day one it’s be so good all the way to the finale show. Please bring season2 this show is amazing. I wanna know what’s gonna happen nexts.
Just give it chance and renew. This isn’t fair to this show Gang Related on big network like Fox even in summer time. If this show on fall season will be better chance to have more seasons to come.
Please renew. This is one of the best series out this summer or any other time. For being a network show it feels like AMC, FX, Showtime and HBO quality. Gritty, exciting and edgy.
Please renew..The twist and turns are great. .so tired of shows that are never given a chance..reality shows are out of control. .Please give it another shot!
