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 this show it was original, all other cop shows cop have the same concepts but this one was truly different.
I have seen the whole season every week I couldn’t wait till Thursday came. I really liked this show MUST RENEW. My wife and I are ready for Season 2…
I have told a lot of my friends about this show and 9 out of 10 watched the whole season too.
I love the show… Please don’t cancel it !!!
Keep it going, want to see how want to see how good of a leader is Daniel Acosta and how he will deal with Ryans “betrayal”……
Awesome, awesome show!!! Got stuck watching most of the 1st season in one weekend on demand. This show must have a 2nd & 3rd season.
Needs to be renewed. There have been others shows that have gone through the same and transitioned into a hit. Give it a chance.
This is the best show out! Every week my friends and family and I are on the edge of our seats waiting to see what happens next! This show is realistic and keeps us wanting more! Please make a season 2
Great show. This show kept me on the edge of my seat not unlike SOA. I think if it is suffering, it is due to lack of promotion. It should be renewed because you can’t leave us hanging on this last episode.
Big fan of the show -looking forward to season 2,3 and so on
Am from Malaysia.. and I say please renew it… don’t cancel it..
Very good show every week
Renew! There’s got to be a 2nd season!!!
Renew renew renew renew or better yet bring it to the Fall!
This was the best new show I have seen. The only one I wanted to see right away each week. The characters were so good. The expressions made by the actors are wonderful. Carlos is such a good character. His actions so terrible but then you can see how wounded he is. Tio – so good. The GTF people – just the whole show. I could not believe it was not renewed yet. Perhaps more advertisement…. Word of mouth.
Please renew!! It’s a great show. .From us retired Gym Rats at LAW fitness San Marcos, Ca
