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 please!! Love the show!!
Do not cancel. This show has lots of drama, suspence, and action just like I like it. Some times a network needs to take a chance on a show.
Great show love the drama and action in this show could be a big name show just give it some time
I’m going be super pissed if they don’t remew this show for Season 2. The best crime drama I’ve seen in a long time. Maybe, to capture more people attention. Bring in one major star that will capture viewers, just to watch them. But I do think the name Gang Related probably makes alot of people not give it a chance.
This show should definitely be renewed. Left us in suspense and always had twists and turns. If it is being cancelled, then the finale should have been longer and answered more questions.
Great show and would definitely watch the second season
Its a very good show I think with it being summer and people on vacation it mess their rating up. I think it should come back it has on the edge of your seat…. Loveeeee it!!!!!
Looking forward to a second season. Less “appalling” killings might increase viewership. Also, if they knew that there would be a new season, they wouldn’t have to cram in so much. This show is the only reason I haven’t cancelled DVR.
Loved thr show! Dont cancel it!!!
LMAO the moment I saw the show I thought it sucked, I still think it sucks, please cancel this garbage.
Who needs another show or movie about LA cops and gangs? That is getting all played out, wash rinse and repeat, come up with something new and original.
Then don’t watch it . Plenty of other shows on tv pick on e
Best TV show I think it was or is the name that don’t get people to bite once you watch it it is the best show ever. It took me a few to watch it because of the name but then I could not wait till it was gone the last show should of been 2 hrs and a little more left for a qustion
