Last week, FOX aired the finale of their Second Chance TV show. Will the series be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Should it get a “second chance” from the network?
On Second Chance, a sheriff named Jimmy Pritchard left his office in disgrace. As a younger man, Jimmy often ignored his family in favor of work and carousing. Unhappy and unwell at 75 years old, he’s killed but gets a second chance when his body is regenerated by some experimental technology. Can Jimmy get things right the second time around? The cast includes Rob Kazinsky, Tim DeKay, Dilshad Vadsaria, Adhir Kalyan, Ciara Bravo, and Vanessa Lengies.
The series debuted on Wednesday, January 13th, and attracted a 1.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.71 million viewers. That wasn’t a pretty poor start. In week two, the numbers dropped about 20% to a 0.98 in the demo with 3.75 million viewers.
The network wasted no time and sent Second Chance packing to Friday nights, switching timeslots with venerable Hell’s Kitchen.
To no surprise, the numbers took a big hit on Friday nights, dropping lower than perhaps than even FOX execs expected. Over the course of its run, Second Chance fell to a 0.5 demo rating with just 1.78 million viewers.
With ratings like these, there seems to be no way that FOX will be renewing Second Chance for a second season. The numbers are just too low, even for a struggling network like FOX.
But, what do you think? Do you like Second Chance? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Please continue this show, one of the best written shows in a long time. Can’t wait for the next episode.
it was a GREAT show and deserves another season. fox totally sabotaged the ratings, seemingly on purpose, so they owe the fans another season, imo.
I would be very upset if you cancel this show. Not a lot of good shows on any more that are fit to watch, this is a great one, clean and no foul language, and has great actors. The storyline is different. and for the most part you can follow the plot and not be confused. Here is my plea, please don’t cancel this show!!
Keeps us watching each week, clean family show nothing u don’t want kids to see. Like actors and content. Hope it renews!!
This was the only show that I made an effort to watch each week. I really thought it was great.
