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 renew this show, I actually dvr’d this and me and my wife both like it very much
Please renew. This show was great. I could t stop watching. And lets face it. We all wanna see Mary and Prichard rebuild looking glass together after she mourns the loss of Otto. But i think they should recast Prichard as a way of “changing his indentity” so he can still be a part of his familys life. Without being known.
This show was great,I loved it.,cannot believe it got low ratings,i think it should be renewed for season 2.
Me, either – I never missed a single episode!
please renew. My wife and I watched it intently. We loved it. So many options to go with. These numbers can’t be right. We are voicing our concern, now let’s see if you will listen.
Its time slot was terrible but I recorded the series and binge-watched it this week. SInce I recorded it from the On Demand channel, I couldn’t fast-forward the commercials so the sponsors should count this type of watching for something. I loved the show and certainly hope to see what happens next. There are a lot of plot possibilities so the writers should be able to come up with a lot more to keep the story line fresh.
Please dont cancel this show I loved I always looked forward to watching it!!
These ratings are quite a long way from the truth. I am sure a lot more people watch the show. I am from Bulgaria and watched it regularly. How are they going to calculate me in those ratings or any other person who does not live in the USA or watches the show when it’s aired? I know it’s all about ratings and stuff and we cannot do anything but hope for a good show to be renewed.
Please don’t cancel always looked forward to watching this show I loved it!!
Please change your mind about cancelling. I love how it shows people can correct errors they make. It’s the only show my husband and I watch together.
I WAS INTHRALLED WITH SCOND CHANCE, SO HOPE IT HAS MOVE SEASONS.
I absolute was inthralled with Second Chance, so hope it is renewed.
I reluctantly view the show as one of FOX’s more palatable offerings, but like Minority Report, it turned out to be self-limiting. I would understand the decision to cancel it. It really isn’t that exciting. At least Lucifer seems to have made the cut.
Please renew Second Chance. Love the show. It shouldn’t be on the same time as Grimm.
PLEASE RENEW THIS! I had heard that this series did not play well with many viewers. I am beginning to understand that American audiences are morons. Every show that has an interesting premise and is interesting to watch, ends up cancelled after one or two seasons. Jericho, Terra Nova, Firefly, etc… It’s why I am giving up TV for video games. The only things worth watching are full of social engineering, or tons of gratuitous sex scenes. Seriously, Black Flag would have been better with more intrigue, more shipboard scenes, more sword fights, and less nudity and sex. Same for… Read more »
