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?
please bring it back its brilliant
We loved this show. Very, very disappointed at its cancellation. There should definitely be another season.
Never saw any commercials for it on TV so therefore I never had a chance to watch it, it’s not fair to the viewers that the advertising you guys had failed so you should bring it back anyways. When I found out about this tv show it was on hulu and I absolutely loved it. Therefore, you shouldn’t strip the tv show away from viewers because of your horrible ways to advertise for a tv show, how could anyone watch it if no one knew about it?
Bring it back it’s great
Love the show. Just been watching it on Universal in the UK. Would love to see a second season. great acting and great story!
I love it. I truly feel that you can not entirely get a true reading with just one season. You find people are worried about getting in to these programs because they find it a great let down when it’s not renewed.
Second chance for second chance is my request. I am in the group of dvr users who faithfully watched the show. Thanks.
Fantastic show! It needs to come back!
i really love this series too much please bring it back thank you please?
We love this show pls bring back our show back !!!!!!! Everytime new show come out frist season and they cancel for 2 season i get so upset 🙁 .
I love this show. When they started advertising it, I went straight to my dvr and searched it up and hit record all episodes. I watched every single episode as it came out. It kept me on my toes. Its an amazing show and it is worthy of having a second season. I laughed, I cried, I screamed at the tv screen millions of times. (My family seriously thought I was going nuts). I lost sleep and failed a couple of tests in school, and I threw my remote at thescreen a couple of times because I wanted to hit… Read more »
I just discovered this show. My daughter and I love it. Please bring it back. I think some television shows aren’t advertised enough so no one knows about them.
yes of course
try looking at the international market more than just the domestic this show is great also look outside your 18-49 demographic there are more oldies than middles out there watching
I wouldn’t be to sure about that. My dad and I both fall under the main demographic & love the show. Besides their calculations aren’t based on age, it’s based on how many TV’s are tuned into that channel when it airs I believe.
I need to find out what is next for the family. Please bring “second chance” back
I really like this show! Maybe it’s not your typical overpaid model cast but that just brings the charm and realism to this show. From the beginning my interest was peaked and that didn’t change throughout the first season.
What I’m really trying to say is…. Renew this perfect saturday morning breakfast show!! ^^
