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 Second Chance!!!!! It is a great show. They aren’t done yet. Their is alot more stories the show can tell. I love the Pritchard’s! Come on now give the show a SECOND CHANCE!!!!
Renew please. I really like this show. Hopefully it wount be cancelled like other good shows.
Enjoy Second Chance because it it different than all the other cop shows. They are exploring family situations in unique circumstances with some sci fi thrown in and I think it should be renewed. Great show!
In spite of reading several poor reviews of this show, I gave it a “chance” and enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. Although I know its chances are terrible, I wish we could have at least a second season and just wrap things up. I hate that producers always plan for a second season, and then leave us on an unresolved cliffhanger.
THE SHOW SHOULD BE RENEWED!! IT’S REALLY GOOD!!
I LOVE THE SHOW! FOX SHOULD RENEW IT!!
Love this show!! Great cast & great writing!! Please RENEW Second Chance!!
My wife and I really like Second Chance and Sleepy Hollow and want both shows to return for another season or two. We may not be in your desired demographic but we do watch the shows on a regular tv set and actually view it with all the commercials. No fast forwarding. As commercial viewers, we can only hope that our opinion matters to your network.
Yes, I would very much enjoy to see more Seasons of “Second Chance”. Please consider renewing this show.
Great show. Good story line, great acting. Bring it back for season two and three….this will have a large following if given “a chance”. At least show what has been already done to give us some closure/update on these characters and story lines. LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!
Renew the show! It’s great, new, and an interesting story line. The writing is unique and just maybe the show is ahead of it’s time, it sure beats Lucipher! Really?! Lucipher? That show doesn’t deserve a second chance.
We loved the show my family and friends watch it. Please give Second Chance a second chance. Don’t cancel it! I do think the name is weak and should have been Frankenstein Code or Lookinglass as they had originally thought as that would have brought more viewers.
My husband and I love the show and will be very disappointed if they cancel it. They did a disservice to it by moving it to Friday nights. You don’t move a new show to a popular hanging out day. What’s wrong with Fox?
It’s a good show. You need to hire good schedulers that know how to schedule shows to get good ratings. Don’t keep changing days and time.
I loved it and hope it comes back. The characters are great and the storyline is finally not law and order csi ncis criminal minds autopsy scrap. Yet it is still drama and cops with a back story. Hope it makes it
