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.
DO NOT CANCEL. I just found the show a few weeks ago and love it. Give it time. Not every show pops at first.
Unfortunately, we have a society that wants quick results for everything. Be patient and give it a chance.
EVERY WEEK I look 4ward to this show. I love it, season 2 is a must!
This is the best show on network t.v.It needs more time to catch on just like Breaking Bad did.PLEASE do not cancel.Great cast.Excellent acting and writing.
Please keep the show going. I think it’s a great show and very well-written…not to mention that Lopez is HOT!! Give it a chance and promote it well. That will increase your viewership.
THIS IS WHY I NEVER GET ATTACHED TO SHOWS ON FOX BECAUSE ALL THEY DO IS CANCEL THEM AFTER ONE SEASON AND REPLACE THEM WITH HORRIBLE TO SAY THE LEAST TV SHOWS SMH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please do not cancel. Love this show!
Please don’t cancel it. I just found out about it about a month ago and I do love the show. I recòrd it and watch it on the weekend. I cried on the finale. Please season 2-3-4-5 so love it. Great cast.
Please don’t cancel! We really like this show.
I think this show got stronger as the series went on. I would like a second season.
Please don’t cancel. This is by far one of the best shows. I dont normally watch fox but this show has got me and my family watching. We would be so disappointed if the show doesn’t get picked up. Such an amazing job was done to create GR and it shows. Dont give up on it, we’d truly like to see more. Well I hope they come around and continue the show.
I was so dissapointed once I heard that season 2 might not be renewed. In comparison to another show “Power” which is doing well in ratings, Gang Related is scripted way better and EVERY episode is intense!! However, I dislike Ryan’s actions during the season finale. I hope this Show doesn’t renew unless Ryan dies in the next
This is a must keep show. One of the best made. It’s up there with sons of anarchy, breaking bad. Please do not cancel. My favorite show of the year.
Please dont cancel. Really good show. Just needs more advertising and exposure.
Don’t cancel!!! Love the show!
Please do not cancel Gang Related!! This is a great show, full of action and a great cast. Maybe Fox should try airing the show on a different night, and increase marketing /promoting the show, so that more people will watch it. Most have never heard of the show.
The season finale was great! I hope Fox decide to do Season 2. I will be watching out to see what happens!!!
