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 don’t cancel, love the show. Just find a good time slot.
Please don’t cancel, just find a good time slot. Love the show
Enjoy it, please don’t cancel, just figure out a way that the tank is not necessary for survival
I watched Second Chance on Hulu! Are they taking those numbers intro account? I’ll be extremely saddened if they don’t continue with the show! I loved it! Even if it’s made specifically for Hulu or Netflix, bring it back!
Please renew we love the show don’t cancel.
Keep second chance
This is a fantastic show, first new series I have been interested in a while. Please do not cancel
This is an awesome show….do not Cancel
Keep for second season!
Keep around for second season
I just can’t believe that we’re still putting up with the stupid Kardashians but a clever show like this needs to be canceled
I love ” second chance” , please renew please, I am begging you please
This series is thought provoking. What if we each had a second chance? Love the premise and the fact that he can have a second chance with his family and she has a second chance at life. This is one of the best series. Don’t kill it in a late Friday night time slot! IT DESEVES A SECOND CHANCE.
I loved it. Great acting, interesting premise. I was hoping it would come back.
In my opinion this has to be one of the best series this season. People have not caught on yet. I understand ratings are very important. But, living in this crazy world of ours, makes you wonder what a real 2nd chance means. I wish they would give it a 2nd chance. I think they are making a mistake if they don’t. Maybe moving to Friday was not a good choice. Mid week was better.
