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?
excellent premise great show please do not cancel
Love it ! Please don’t cancel!
This TV show is great please renew it don’t cancel
Second chance is a great show I hope you listen to the viewers and bring it back for another season. I want to see if Mary and Pritchard end up together.
This was the best t.v. show I’ve ever seen. It had everything. I only wish it was a 2 hour showing. Hot billionaire, cool dude stronger, faster and on the side of the law. OMG, I went away for 4 weeks and recorded the series. I was so dissapointed to find out there were no shows recorded. Is this the end. PLEASE TELL ME NO AND THE SHOW WILL GO ON.
I agree. So many really good shows ended up cancelled. I think the reason we men have a hard time finding good shows to watch is because too many men play video games instead of watching TV. It’s a vicious cycle. Guys play video games and watch little TV, so producers gear shows to women, and the occasional show that is geared towards men gets cancelled, and so guys go back to video games.
please renew the show…i love the show
This show is so great!!! I love it!! Please don’t cancel this show. Thanks!!!
I downloaded the Fox app on my phone and discover the show second chance. I thought why did i not know about this show. This is an excellent show and i am looking forward to next season. This would be a hit series if people knew about it. With so much to choose from if you could just advertise and let people know. I was hook from the 1st show and could not wait to watch the next until i finish the 11 episode. Please renew.
I never heard of the show either. I just happened to see it in the guide. It wasn’t promoted very well if at all. I also hope it’s renewed. It shouldn’t be up against Grimm though.
You really need to renew this show. I have been sharing the pictures from your Facebook page and telling everyone I know to go to Fox.com and watch it because it is the BEST new show this past season!
We really enjoyed this show in the beginning, when they were solving crimes and working out the kinks of the technology. It lagged when the writers had Jimmy doing stupid self-destructive stuff (drinking, staying out until he weakened, etc.) Don’t try to make viewers dislike the main character! We want him to be appreciative of his ‘second chance.’ And they never really addressed his murder.
Please renew the show I love the show!
We love the show. I hope it will be renewed.
Please renew it!!!! Plsssss
I really enjoyed the show and was hoping to continue watching please renew it
Great cast. Creative premise. Please renew.
