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?
Great show needs second season
Please renew it, it’s a great show.
This series must please have a second season! It’s really good series and it will be a shame if it discontinued. The characters are capturing and the first season ended in such note that it can definitely continue.
I agree FOX needs a new owner or something, because this a reoccurring theme with them. If you Google a list of past tv shows they have dropped for this same bull crap reason, you’ll see tv shows we’ve probably forgotten the title to, until you see it listed. I still hope Netflix picks it up.
Matter of fact I’ll contact Netflix customer service and ask them just that.
Fox Is Very Poor At Advertising They Drop A lot Of Good Shows I Wish Other Networks Would Pick Up But I Swear You Better Renew This One Fox. They Need A New Owner Or Something Needs To Change With There Team!!
Such a shame, it was a superb and very entertaining show, I was hooked from episode one.
I agree, they suck at advertising that’s another reason why the fsn base is small but steady growing. But this is Fox, you can win a bet because every good show they have/had they snatched it off the air. You can Google all shows Fox dropped and I bet it’ll be a show on the list You probably forgot all about. So I’m hoping netflix picks the show up.
GREAT SHOW, bring the show back. I did not know it was on Fox, watched it on Hulu. I want to buy the DVD.
I enjoyed the show very much. When is it going to be on DVD, because I must own it. It has an interesting story line and there is great chemistry with the actors and actresses. I did not even know it was showed on Fox, I watched it on Hulu. Bring it back Fox, and make sure you advertising it. If not, sell it to Hulu, because they know what to do with it. Also, I am fan of Tim DeKay, he plays a great FBI Agent.
This is a very very awesome season. I am from Pakistan and I liked it very much. Outstanding acting from Jimm prechard. Please go for second season as well.
Second Chance season 2 Will Not Be Seen Thins Fall Instead We MAy Bring You 24 Legacy on Fox and More Bob’s Burgers,Simpsons On FOx.
Nobody even knows what the heck is 24 legacy, the little fans you do have keep telling you, yaw really suck at advertising. I agree just sell the show Second Chance to Netflix, Hulu or someone else who appreciates the show and the story. Eventually FOX will loose more viewers each time.
Have a great day
Truly enjoy the show. Please return it to my regular viewing options.
So I have never understood why shows that are really good get a bum rating compared to so many others that, well, just don’t rate above 0 to me. I lost a favorite show many years ago called “Invasion” and now I’ve lost Mr. hottie “Jimmy Prichard” to rejection from people who want real world scenarios that are actually fake instead of shows that have actual scientific futuristic possibilities. I mean really who needs that much Kardashian drama !!!
Please renew the series It’s amazing. My family enjoy it a lot! Only trouble, the friday’s schedule, on Wednesday was better…
It’s a great show. Give it another shot. I watched from the beginning and by accident found out it was moved to Friday nights . The ratings could have dropped because no one knew of its new time of Friday nights. Wonderfully written, clever show.b please bring it back .
Renew! It’s a great show!
no wonder Hulu and netflix is so popular the networks don’t give good shows a chance anymore all they think people want to see is reality shows and zombies.
