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.
I agree this was a great show, it catches one’s imagination
Do not cancel this show. This is one of the few shows I look forward to each week. Bring it back next season to show the fans the creativity of the writers of the episodes.
Finally a great drama, it can’t be all about the initial ratings- word will spread, please do not cancel!
This was a really good show. It should return for season two!!!
I love this show! Keeps me at the edge of my seat! Best show on Fox. Please DON’T CANCEL.
Don’t you dare cancel this show! I look forward to it every week. Please renew!!
PLEASE don’t cancel renew. I love all characters. I love Curtis Cliff as Javier. More advertising. A lot of,people don’t even know about the show. I had to,tell my friends and they watch the last one with me, so they are saying next time it comes on they are watching it. They love it. And they just watch the finale. I will be very dissapointed if this show cancels. Its very Good. It’s the closest thing We have to Sopranos
Agree, just heard about it last week and finally got caught up with all episodes.
Great series! great cast and writing.
Please don’t cancel this show. It is the best show on television for the summer and Fox.
Don’t cancel the show. It’s a good show. For the summer I think it’s great
This was a great show. Not everyone wants to watch reality tv in the summer. A good crime drama.
We enjoyed this show, maybe Fox should move it to FX. I think it might do better.
RENEW!! Amazing show, great cast, great acting! So many twists and turns and suspense! One of the best shows on tv and the season finale was outrageously good! Left so many questions and possible new story lines! If it’s not renewed I won’t be watching any more FOX shows!!!
My husband and I love this show. Please do not cancel. Age over 49
Why question, this is Fox’s BEST!!
This is awesome show please keep it going
