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! One of the best shows on tv
Love this show
Renewed but moved to a different night, it can’t compete with The Originals.
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease RENEW!
We so love the show, always can’t wait for the next epidode.
Second Chance should be renewed. It is an unusual and refreshing show. I loved it.
I just started watching this series in December and found somewhat similar to “Forever”. I truly enjoyed watching Second Chance, I hope it’s not cancelled.
RENEW !!!!!! they got the ratings numbers all wrong ——
I really enjoy watching this show. There is something about each episode that keeps me coming back for more. I look forward to Friday night just to see Second Chances.
RENEW Please !!!!!!
I am sick and tired of networks canceling really good programs like Second Chance and leaving sexfilled, filthy garbage on TV. Its too bad we can’t sit down and watch TV with our family anymore without screening it first for filth
I completely agree!!!
Loved it! Renew!
Renew please, my husband and I look forward to watching it! Seemed like it was over too quick
