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 hope they keep the show going. It’s my favorite show behind soa. It was left with too many possibilities for season two
Love this show! I hate it when shows my family really look forward to each week are cancelled. This is a good one…interesting twist on the worn-out cop show themes.
My husband and I really enjoyed watching Gang Related every Thursday night. Each week the story line got better and better and it kept us on the edge of our seats!! Please bring it back for a 2nd season Thursdays won’t be the same
Without it
Please renew! My boyfriend and I look forward to watching it together every week.
Please renew, we love the show!!
Please renew this show. It keeps getting better and better and has great acting and a new twist on cop shows that hasn’t been done before. Lots of us are hooked…
I loved the show, my friends and I looked forward every week to watch it, I hope it gets renewed. Great show!
please please bring it back my husband and i and my 13 year old love this show.this is one show that we watch it as a family the best show ever we need season 2 please thursdays won’t be the same without it
Absolutely love this show and can’t wait to see more of it. Me and my fiance enjoy that it keeps us on the edge of our seats.
Gang related is awesome. My family and I look forward to this show every week. It is is unlike any other show out right now. If this show were to be released in the fall, the ratings would be so much higher. You can not compare network ratings when it comes to reality television and story lines such as gang related. The show is only getting better it would be such a horrible decision to take it off the air.
I really like watching this show looked forward to it every Thursday…. kept me on my toes wondering what would happened next.. would be nice for a session 2
GANG RELATED is amazing. Finally one show my wife and I can agree on. We both love it. We enjoy that even though it is full of violence it portrays a plot that I have not seen before. KEEP IT ON.
I love this show I hope it gets renewed! I am literally on the edge of my seat with every episode!
This is one of the few seasons I enjoyed every episode of. There wasn’t one episode that made me turn it off on the contrary, every episode made me want to watch another one. Give it on more shot but dont put it on as the same time as 24…seriously. KEEP IT ON.
Renew. Please!
