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 renew for a second season the show is so good give it a chance

RENEW!! Love this show!
Please renew! Finally getting to know the characters!
Renew it. This show is more real than all these reality shows. Fox did an excellent job in keeping you glued to the edge of your seat. I don’t know what else to say. It needs a season 2.
Renew!! This show is great!
This show has the potential to be the next breaking bad. Give it a damn chance. And don’t wait to long renew while it’s fresh in our minds. I never missed an episode. The first episode I thought ehh. But I have it a chance. The acting improved and the story line blew me away. Bring it back bring it back. !!
Most of the summer shows get canceled because we’ll basically it SUMMER! IF you are the target age for this show. There is a big chance you will be doing out door activitis BECAUSE ITS SUMMER. Summer movies, out on the beach and enjoying yourself out side. If this show would have been schedule in the winter it would have been a better performer. So yes thanks fox executives. You are a of morons.
