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. My Thursdays are all about gang related! If you cancel it,then idk what I will do on Thursdays!!! PLEASE RENEW IT!!!
Yes please renew the tv show gang related. It is a great tv show.
Great show!!! One of the best in a while. I hope it is renewed and put in a different time slot. One that will give it a chance. It leaves me thinking about it when it is over and telling people about it. I couldn’t wait for the next episode each week. It would be a shame to not renew it.
This is one of the best shows ever!! so different, so intense! please keep it!
Unlike many shows this show’s premise is unique. Perhaps if it were given more promotion people would know about it and lock onto it. There are too many shows that are similar, and I feel that this show stands out. I also feel that shows are being cancelled too quickly. I understand the financial concerns, but pretty soon people are going to only watch reality TV. This mindless form of TV continues to thrive while traditional programs QUICKLY died leaving those of us who prefer a good drama or comedy disappointed with and ready to boycott the networks.

I think the show is different a breath of fresh air since nowadays a lot of shows are similar I think gang related should be renewed I feel the reason it didn’t get the views it deserved was because it was put on in the summer when everyone is gonna on vacation and having summer fun I think if it were put on fall mid fall or winter the views would be stronger I hope it gets renewed this show deserves a chance
In my opinion this is one of the most intense shows on Fox, it would be a real travesty if this show’s canceled, each episode leaves me wanting more. It’s a great show, bring on season 2.
I say renew it.
GREAT SHOW!!!! Please Keep
My husband and I love this show. Please renew this show.
I’d want a season 2. Stop canceling good shows you retards.
Great show and it should not be cancelled
One of the best shows. Awesome and twisted story line. Has to be renwewes with a ending like that. Javier can’t die as him and Ryan are the ones that definitely make the show interesting. If Fox does cancel I hope another network picks it up
LOVED this show, Please create episode 2, my Husband and I watched every episode, not on Thursdays but recorded it and watched it later which I am sure a lot of people did. This show was the most exciting but sad reality and we got an amazing message from it and want MORE!!

PS my husband and I also cannot watch it on Thursdays. however we do have Hulu Plus so we watch it the next day. I hope you’re testing reflect that.
