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 back second chance season 2 and keep it going..
Please bring back second chance a really good show!
So good please second season
Please a onther season i love it
I would love for a season 2! This was one of my favorites that I had set for DVR
I and my sisters would watch this show and we were all looking forward to season 2. I am so sorry to hear that it has been cancelled. Thankfully, The Originals and Game of Thrones will be back; I know these shows have nothing in common, but that’s how wide my interest is. Good luck to all the cast, I loved watching you.
Can’t believe they canceled a good show. Was looking forward to seeing season 2. This show was definitely a good show. Very disappointed it’s not coming back.
I am Chinese, I loved Second Chance, it took me 2 days to finish this show, and I recommended it to my husband, my friend, my colleagues, now I am slowly watching it again while waiting season 2.
Please renew it, so looking forward to this.
Thank you!
Great show . Realy enjoyed it looking forward to 2nd season
second chance is a great show
**** you Fox! You always cancel the good shows and keep garbage **** on the air like bobs burgers and king of the hill. Get your **** together and stop sucking. Keep good shows like second chance and futurama…again **** you Fox network!
I think it deserves a second chance… especially after that bomb of cliffhanger, leaving all to think James will turn violent. And besides Mary and James just started to hit off. So Yes… Renew
Why do they cancel the most popular shows.. should bring back for more seasons.. its an amazing program.. should definatly have more seasons
So sad. I saw the season 1 on Netflix I saw season and I loved it, I’ve been waiting for long season two. How sad to know that we will not have a second season.
What a pity to find out this great show was cancelled! It truly was one of the best new tv series. Unique and very original concept and story line; excellent acting; very well written. I think FOX made a very bad decision not to renew for a second season. It’s almost like FOX WANTED TO SABBOTAGE the show by putting it in a terrible time slot. In fact they didn’t even advertise the show was on! Too bad because I discovered the show accidentally by buying season 1 from Amazon video. What a bummer I was so looking forward to… Read more »
