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 found this show just by flipping through channels. I LOVE IT!!! Please do not cancel! It needs more advertisement !!!!’
I was chatting with friends about this show, I’m a dedicated watcher since episode one, and I was shocked to find out my friends had NO CLUE what show I was talking about, I think the reason behind the low ratings, was NOT enough publicity!!! Cause in my opinion this show was pretty interesting, compared too some other shows this season I Tried to get into and just could not!! People need too hear about it in order to wanna watch it!! Please bring back, don’t leave it on a ledge for us viewers, or you will totally loose us!!
It has to be renewed! Awesome show.
