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, for Pete sakes. Love this show. It’s Fun with just the right amount of drama.
If it doesn’t have fangs and suck blood it doesn’t make it…. this is a brilliant show… very original … please keep it running another season !
It’s not fangs taking over, it’s fake reality!! Love fangs!!
Please don’t leave us hanging. Renew!
Please renew for season 2 cant wait
I agree with you, screw fox. Every good show they have they take it off tv.
Second Chance was one of the single best tv shows I’ve watched. It might have not been advertised enough to be watched. I was waiting for another season and very disappointed in the end.
Seeing as though this show is getting canceled, Fox just lost a viewer. Second chance is a great show. It’s not the viewers fault or TV show’s fault that Fox doesn’t do enough advertising about the show. I’m hoping Hulu picks this show up (since it’s already on Hulu) and renews it. If second chance doesn’t get renewed by fox, I say screw Fox!!!!
Love the show bring on season 2..
Great show with good story line and excellent characters. It seems that the networks always kill the sci fi shows right out of the gate. Curious…
it definitely deserves a season 2. its a great series period!!!!!!!!!
I fully agree
Loved it
well…i found out yesterday about it, already saw it and was aewsome, hoping for more…
I agree that they don’t do nearly enough promotion about this show, I also found out by accident they changed to Friday’s. But then you gotta remember this is FOX and they have a nasty habit of dropping good TV shows after a few episodes to half of a season. So I’m hoping netflix picks it up for a few more seasons.
Roll on season 2.. Me and all my girls watch this show it brilliant x
This is a brilliant programme love it me and my girls all watch it…roll on season 2
