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 bring back for a second season!
Are you guys nuts? Of course you should renew for another season… why are you even asking!!
Don’t cancel such a great show!! They are set up for season 2
Please do not cancel Gang Related. Give it a chance.
The network would be a fool to cancel. This show was intense and very gripping. Also many ppl haven’t heard of it. That means not alot of promo going on. I wonder why. Obviously, its not the ratings, its clearly something else. GANG RELATED ROCKS!!!!!!!
Loved this show! Keeps you on edge all the time, wondering just how Ryan is gonna explain this now! Please renew!
Please Please Please Keep this show going forward. It has great actors and story lines that keep my husband and I on the edge of our seats.
Awesome Show! PLEASE RENEW!
loved the summer show Gang Related. I cannot believe that the ratings are so slow and they are thinking of not renewing his show. Please reconsider the show is just too good not give it another season.
I originally thought I would skip this show when I first saw it being advertised. However, I set the DVR and I ended up getting hooked on this show!!! I am shocked at how low they say the ratings were….for real? Please renew as there are so many possibilities for some great storylines.
Awesome show! I got so hooked! It’s great and full of suspense and action. I even got friends and family hooked on the show. Excellent actors and scripts. Looking forward to season 2.
Very good show ,love the story line action and suspense . Will be looking forward to a second season
This is a great show. It’s like Sons of Anarchy, The Sheild, and Prison Break put in one.
The cast is amazing and the writing is wonderful. After each esposide it has you wanting more and the feeling you can’t wait for next week show. I have to say if Fox doesn’t keep this show then I don’t think I can watch other Fox shows.
Yes so true. At the end of every show it leaves you wanting more and eager for the night the show comes on.
Gang related was a very good show. I am not a person to sit and watch TV for this show it was worth watching. I even got my coworkers, family and friends watching. Looking forward for season 2
Not normaly a fan of “gang related” series, but this one was definitely worth watching. Best role for Terry O’Quinn ever; Ramon (Ryan ) Rodriguez was super cool. All actors were awesome. Great storylines, non-stop action and suspense. Definitely more to add to this series. Don’t understand how ratings could be so low. PLEASE RENEW FOR 2nd SEASON !!
I want a second season too. But, your TOQ reference was a bit off the mark. You sound like there’s something more important than family. Nothing’s more important than family.
