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?
This really annoys me, when you get really invested in a story, then find out half way through series 1 that it won’t be renewed! It’s like ripping the final chapter out of a book! Hopefully some other network will pick it up and give it a proper chance at the success it deserves.
Please come back for season two! This show is amazing! I love it.
yes i like second chance. I like the drama and story line so yes one more chance.
There are few and far between decent TV shoes with only God knows how many cable shows included. Everytime I find a show in enjoy you all channels are guilty of leaving the crap on TV and taking away some thing worth watching!!
I need a second season yall! This show was too good it has to have a second season!
Just wanted to know if second chance will having a season 2
I love this show.. The plot, the cast, everything is just perfect and it should be renewed.. My whole family is waiting for season 2
I am disappointed …it was a decent show and deserves a second season.
What is wrong with you. Renew the show. It is a great show.
The show shouldn’t be cancel, great show, and it didn’t have a lot of profanity in it. Actually the only decent show that can be watch.
This was a great show and Fox is stupid not renew it although many people are watching it in different ways and so it it not immediately clear how popular a show is straight away. its a great show and should be renewed. Please renew it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So very disappointed in Fox for not brining this show back. This was the only show I watched on Fox. Seems like there is no commitment to the actors when ratings drop for a bit. Well move a show and it will happen. In todays society most record the shows and watch them when they have time. Do they not count things like TIVO/DVR or HULU in the ratings?? Not even fun to get into a show anymore and see they cancel it when you get hooked 🙁 Love the different twist of the show, how he came back to… Read more »
I’m so sick and tired of FOX always cancelling good shows that I love. touch, red band society, and second chance were all great shows that I loved that FOX cancelled. I am done with FOX, I don’t even know why show producers choose to go with them because it usually means the end of their show. I don’t get how FOX chooses to let trash shows like Empire stay on, and those stupid repetitive cartoons the Simpsons and family guy stay on. and then to make matters worse, they ended the show on a cliffhanger. so that means since… Read more »
Love this show its a great plot and has great acting, and FOX does need a new owner why is it when a great show starts it always gets cancelled and continues a rubbish show like the Kardashains we already know they are rich and spoiled who cares, why cancel a show which people obliviously want to keep watching I have no problem with anyone who like the Kardashains ( not to be rude). Give second chance a second chance !!!!!!
please bring back second chance, that’s a great series. I’ll be dissapointed with you if you don’t bring the series back. waiting for season two. Brenda from Kenya
Love the show, no way it should be cancelled, its a great plot and should be carried on, it has to have a second season, its too good not to. I agree FOX does need a new owner or something, why are they cancelling great shows its not fair. Give second chance a second chance !!!! this show is great
Love this show excellent acting from a classy cast and a great story. Have no idea why the network would cancel without giving it a chance.
