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?
RENEW!
I just watched it on Hulu and loved it! I hope they renew it! I very seldom watch regular tv. I stream the majority of my entertainment via Roku.
Me too, to all of your comment. lol
I really hope they keep the show going I hate when I started show and really get into it and then it gets cancelled! This show is awesome !!!
PLEASE RENEW! It is a great show.
Please… PLEASE BRING THE SHOW BACK! It it the one show that united ne and my daughter to watch together as we both love it! There is still so much story line to go! I am sick of my favorite shows disappearing! It may have aired on Fri nights, but in the world of DVR, many of us watched it at other times even if it conflicted with schedules! I would watch it no matter what time it aired! Please! Give us season 2 REAL SOON! We are waiting!
I can’t wait till next season can’t wait to see the outcome of sheriff jimmy Pritchard and how the rest of the family respond to his coming back just don’t let it turn in to another show about bringing people back from the dead let it stay about the character and stay a cop show,
We watched it every week and are looking for another season.
I really enjoyed the show, I watched it on Hulu though. I loved Rob’s performance and Tim’s too. It’s a great premise and I really want to see where things go in Season 2!! Please renew the show, I bet there is a fan base for this show out there!!
Please, please, please RENEW, RENEW, RENEW!!!
Please renew…the show is unique and has a lot of potential. Characters a really good also! I watched them on Hulu…so hope that counts!
Please renew. The show is very unique and it’s good to see Tim McKay again after White Collar!!!

Second Chance, smartly written and exciting! Change the time slot and bring it back for a second season!!!!
A Keeper! Fox needs to do a summer re run of the entire season. I have told many friends about the show and all have become fan, it just needs promoting.
It deserves a ‘Second Chance’!
Please renew the show – one of the best around
I watched the entire series on Hulu, which is how I watch most series that air on primetime. It is just easier for me. Do these views count Hulu and other streaming venues?
I loved the show. It was innovative and I agree there are so many places for it to go.
Renew Fox!
The show really stirred me and brought back feelings I never thought I would have I am so sure that this will be as good success do yourselves a favor Fox bring it back
