In the irony of ironies, FOX has not given Second Chance a second chance. Buzzfeed News reports the network has cancelled the drama after one season.
The freshman series starred Robert Kazinsky as a resurrected cop. Philip Baker Hall, Tim DeKay, Dilshad Vadsaria, and Adhir Kalyan also starred.
After going through several title changes, Second Chance didn’t seem to catch on with viewers. Season one ratings averaged a .64 in the 18-49 demo and a total of 2.430 million viewers.
Kazinsky confirmed the cancellation on his Twitter:
Shame that @secondchancefox won't get a second season, even bigger shame that we heard about it online.

What do you think? Did you watch Second Chance? Do you think it deserves a second chance?
Cant believe it. What a shame.Who decides first season cancellations?One of the best written drama shows to come down the pike I’ve seen in a long time. Couldn’t wait til the next show every week.Was so anticipating season 2. Then when I didn’t hear any word on it,I had to come here to find out! I’m pissed! The story writing was spot on along with the actors. The chemistry between the two lead characters was building to something special. I don’t know if Fox Exec’s reads any of these posts. But in case they do.I think I speak for hundreds… Read more »
Too bad it was not advertised. We found out from one who happened to catch it vy accident. One of the best new shows.
Don’t cancel Second Chance. It’s a good show. The whole family LOVES watching it. We watch each episode On Demand multiple times.
Second Chance was a great show and had interesting moral dilemmas. Too bad that Fox didn’t believe in their own product. We will miss you!! All the best in the future Robert!
Of all the new shows on all the networks, Second Chance was by far the best! It was Smart, Interesting, Sexy, Great Action, Great Story Line, Great Characters, and Fabulous Actors All!
We stumbled onto this show… A lack of advertising maybe? To little promotion? I do know that when I told people about it, they were hearing about it for the first time! Shame on you FOX! Dumb move in my opinion! I do so hope another network picks it up!!!
Such a shame. There are so few shows on that have a modicum of originality. Second Chance was innovative for TV like The Matrix was for movies. I enjoyed the anti-hero premise. Makes me think TV in general is overrated and maybe unnecessary.
This is a great show. Good acting. Sometimes new shows need more than one season, and the appropriate day and time.
Sadly this not the first time Fox has cancelled an excellent show and cancelled with questions unanswered. My family and I will miss this superior series.
I just binged watched this show in two days on hulu, absolutely love the show. Had been meaning to watch didn’t have time during the week. The last episode plays with your emotions, it hinted to suggesting it was the last episode but then otto comes in at the end and I thought there was hope. Hearing now there will be no season 2 is very dissapointing. I think if anything they should have changed the day and time the show came on instead of canceling it altogether. I would like to see more of this show and I wouldn’t… Read more »
I absolutely loved this show. So disappointed
Yes! Sometimes people are busy and are not able to watch TV the first time a show airs. We’ve just started watching it On Demand and are on episode 8. This decision was NOT a smart move by FOX. Fire the one that made the decision and renew it. Or maybe someone out there is smarter and will pick-up the show–Sci-fy channel??? Dana
This is just a dumb move by Fox. I was truly excited about the show and what happens to Mary. Wish it would have gotten a second season so we could see the story and cast grow. Too bad it ended so soon.
Doesn’t FOX know most will watch on Hulu? Maybe they will be smart enough to see the shows potential and give them a second chance. Ps Rob is a hunk 😉
I wish that hulu would pick the series up. i had never heard of it until i subscribed to hulu and stumbled across it. it quickly became my favorite show in years. sad it was cancelled without really being given a chance to shine
Good riddance to bad rubbish i say! It won’t get a second chance how poethic.
I loved this show. So many of my favorties get cancelled before they can really shine…
