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?
Yes it needs a second season
Will be very disappointed if this excellent show is cancelled and if it is, final nail in disconnecting cable. Mr. Ravich had the best every detective show, Life,
cancelled and he very much!!!! deserves a second chance.
Don’t cancel!!! Love the show!
Love the show
Really, enjoyed this show. Liked that it was different from so many other shows. Cast was great. Was frustrated to hear possibly cancelled. One of few shows I kept up with and looked forward to watching. Please don’t cancel
I Love Love this Show. Please bring Second Chance Back!!!!!! Please????
Great show‼️ It always leaves you wanting more. Please continue Second Chance‼️
This is a great show! It’s so different. The premise is fascinating because it could happen someday. I recorded every episode. Really well scripted and great characters you care about. Awesome cast.
Please renew. The show has spark and needs a good time slot against poor competition.
My husband and I looooooove this show!!!!!! It has great writing and characters. Please don’t cancel this show. We looked forward to seeing this show every week, and if we missed it for some reason, it was the first thing we did the next day, was watch it on demand.
Renew it and put it in Sunday to mid-week slot.
Love it. RENEW.
I think it should be renewed. It was a great show and I couldn’t wait to see the next show. I really hope they reconsider cancelling it.
Please keep this show!!! I Will be shocked and extremely disappointed if it is canceled. There are many shows on TV that aren’t as good as this show. I do not know if shows are tallied up as being “watched” when you use your DVR to watch them, because that is how I watched it and I am sure that is how many people watch it. So if that is not being counted into the viewership that’s not an accurate total. I truly hope this show stays on and comes back next season!
This is a great show. I found it last week on Hulu and have watched all of the episodes. I really hope it is renewed.
