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.
Renew!!!!!!!
So awesome! Must renew!
Great show, very different, it would be a big a mistake not to continue with season 2.
Fox writers, producers, director and everyone else who is involve in show gang related, yall have done a tremendous job but ill be honest with yall if and i mean if character JAVIER ACOSTA IS DEAD I WILL STOP WATCHING THE SHOW!
I have not miss one episode I agree that this show is refreshing and different from the usual shows on this network I am looking forward to watch 2 season each episode has me craving more to see more twists story lines and real life travesties this show the cast is excellent I will be sad to see it cancel . Please have 2 season I want to know what happend next after the final episode don’t leave me hanging!
This programme is fantastic. I think the reason for the low viewing figures is because no-one knows about it. It is poorly advertised. I live in the UK, I only saw this by mistake after the first episode I thought now this is a proper programme. The acting is superb, plenty of twists keeps you on edge of your seat.
Would be absolute travesty if you do not renew for a 2nd season
Please please come back!!
LOVE this show!! Please don’t cancel. Like other viewers, my husband and I cant watch it on Thursday nights, we record every episode and watch it the next day.
We would like to see Season 2.
keep tv show i love it
I think this is one of the best shows fox has aired for awhile. It’s by far my favorite even over the following which I love. If this show is cancelled I will be so disappointed and upset. My mom, sister, brother-in-law and friend feel the same way. Like another viewer said they’re unable to watch on Thursday but catch it on Hulu. I do the same with On Demand. So hopefully that can be captured in Fox’s polls. Fox is making a huge mistake if this show is not given a chance!!!!
This is the #2 show behind 24 on the Fox network. It needs to come back. I hope they bring it back..
Great show and it should not be cancelled
Please renew the show !!!! Me and my husband really enjoyed the show especially with all excitement . One of best shows on thursday to watch. I even cried on the finale cause i wanted more episodes!!!
I loved the series but I don’t think it should be renewed for a 2nd season. It ended extremely well and had outstanding closure. Leave it alone.

I love the show it has a lot of twist and turns if fox cancels the show I hope another network picks it up
