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 Renew it!!!
Great premise for a show. It should be renewed. The “sexual tension” between the resurrected sheriff and his donor was palpable. Lots of fun!
it think it should have a 2 chance now that everyone has about it now my friends love it don’t be stupid fox give it another chance u double your ratings now
I liked the show but like others there were two many options it needs to be on like a Monday or Tuesday slot for it to work I think.
My husband and I both really liked this t.v show. We would really like to see Season 2.
Why all good shows are canceled?
This show is awesome. I’ve been waiting for season 2. I’m sad to see it go.
Really enjoyed the show and was disapointed to hear that it was being cut. Its better that Arrow or similiar shows and it got more than one season.
Would really look forward to a second season so why dont we just make it happen.
I loved this show. Wish it would be considered to continue and have a second, third season…i feel the show could go on with a lot of interest among the audience.. Plrase reconsider. A lot of othet shows that should be off but continue, so why not this one..?
I really loved watching this show and I am very disappointed that there will be no second season.
I really enjoyed second chance. It was quite refreshing to watch something different.
Please bring it back, even if it is just to keep us in the UK happy
I’m on the Pacific coast of America and I’d like for more Second Chance as well
Renew yes please renew
This is a really good show. I really hope you bring it back…refreshing premise. Stop giving up so soon please!
I am so sick of networks cancelin shows after the first season only to replace it with another show that will also be canceled after one season. Why do you put NEW shows in a time slot against established shows. Annoying!!!
They made the decision already, I saw it on the TV guide their not renewing second chance. I hope Netflix picks it up and continue with this great show. You can always call Netflix and request for them to get Second Chance. That’s what I’m gonna do.
Please…..season 2 (3,4,5,6,7 )
