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?
I hope they renew “Second Chance” series, We watched every week and also the reruns!
I hope they will renew for Season 2. I liked the show.
Is It because most people watch on-line T.V now ???
They defo have to renew for season two.
I loved it.

I never knew it was on TV. Found it on Hulu and watched it every week on there.
I love this show.
I like it…great show…love the cast…fresh idea. I just found out it existed. Perhaps it was not advertised enough. I hope it is not cancelled. Thank you.
Interesting story lines, engaging characters. Please don’t take it off! Love Tim Dekay.
I REALLY LOVE the show!!! PLEASE don’t leave me hanging… Besides, the show deserves a SECOND CHANCE!!! PLEASE!!!
They did the same thing with Almost Human
Please bring second chance back for season 2…..I watched the first episode and was hooked after 15 mins…..its up there with the best shows.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BRING IT BACK! We don’t watch it when it airs because HELLO!!!! Cable Is WAY too pricey now, IT’S ALL About streaming! And we have been watching this on Hulu, even though we see it advertised on cable, we are just not home or have time to watch it with kids awake at home while school is out or when we have to work extra late! Don’t you know watching shows without your significant other can start an argument?!
