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.
DONT CANCEL!! Such a great show. Agree with others about not being able to watch on Thursdays. My boyfriend & I always try to watch it on Fridays or the weekend when we have more time. If that was the end for gang related forever, the season shouldn’t of ended the way it did. That would be such a huge disappointment! SEASON 2 pleaaaaaseeee
Please do not cancel Gang Related !!!!!!!!
South land was canceled & I loved that show too.
Keep Gang Related
Renew! Definitely .
Renew !!!
I guess I’m not the only one that records “Gang Related” and watches it the next evening. Give this show a chance to get its leg under it! The actors play their parts well. If I had any issue with the show, it would be with the writers. Just because the Los Angelicos are Latino, not every word has to be followed by “ese” or “holmes”. I do like seeing subtitles when Spanish is spoken, it helps me remember some of what my friends taught me in California. Another less believable instance is how poorly the gang members with automatic… Read more »
