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 can’t believe you cancelled Second Chance! The show had great actors and a good story.
Loved the show. Please do not cancel.
I have been looking forward to Second Chance to come back and I am so so disappointed that you cancelled the show. What a shame. Finally a really good show. You need to give it a second chance!
Please renew the show. It was going really well.
Just checked to see when second was coming back on and found the bad news, so now I will no longer watch fox and I know they could care less .
They wonder why their station doesn’t get high ratings , because people are tired of getting involved in a great show to find it cancelled
I’ll stay with CBS FROM NOW ON
FOX you su—-
Please renew it. We’ve been waiting for the next season for so long.
Please do another season of Second Chance.
Arggghhhh!!!! I can’t believe this show wasn’t renewed?!?! One of best shows that came out last year! Above par acting, great storytelling, subplots keep you intrigued at all times! The layers, plots and subplots were done very well.
So, what is keeping down? I think its just a combination of poor slot time and little to no ad campaigning. The reviews on line are constantly high solid reviews. RENEW this show please! This one’s a diamond in the rough!!! :]
Its a great show. The Thing is that the channel is not promoting the series so the viewer counting is less. Dan its a hell of a show.
Just found Second Chance on Hulu and love it! I vote for more seasons please, Fox.
It was starting to get really good.
Please Renew “Second Chance”!! Excellent show
Please renew Second Chances!!!
Please bring “Second Chance” back. I love the show!
