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.

Those of you who tuned in to watch we were privileged to perform for you.

What do you think? Did you watch Second Chance? Do you think it deserves a second chance?
This show was AMAZING! Wish they would bring it back!!
I did not find this show until the season was over. I liked it and would continue to watch it if it was still on. Maybe they did not show enough commercials to get people to start watching it. Once you start watching it you get hooked.
This definitely sucks…we just started watching it here in South Africa, and must say, thought it was awesome. Great storyline twist, could have gone so many places with the show….could easily become another cult hit like Supernatural…I agree with the other comments, this show definitely is so much better than the mindless reality nonsense we subject to……hope that FOX will have a re-think…this show definitely has huge appeal…..
We watched this show every Friday. Loved this show and all the characters. Another great Fox show, just needed time to catch on. Friday is a tough time slot.
This just another great show that’s been cancelled. Stop cancelling great show. Give second chance a second chance.
LOVE this show. So bummed it’s already gone! They had SOOO many places they could go on this line. Really hope they figure out how to continue the story somehow! They so brilliantly wove in accurate relationship troubles between family members and showed that these can be worked through. That message could be SOO helpful to parents, children, and spouses everywhere!
I am board with canceled shows. I really liked second chance but I will no longer invest in a series until it survives at lease two seasons. If they will not invest, nor will I.
Good show should have got cancelled
Good shows keep getting the boot over mindless reality shows. I’ve cut the cable this summer. Netflix and my kindle are my entertainment now. Good bye 80 to 120 dollar tv bill I’m not paying for reality shows and infomercials.
I was looking to see when season two would begin. I enjoyed it and wish it was renewed.
GIVE 2ND CHANCE A 2ND CHANCE
SHOULD HAVE RENEWED IT. I REALLY LIKED IT AND WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO SEASON 2. I LOVED THE CHARACTERS.
Why even bother investing time of your life to watch TV shows anymore…? The good ones that are fresh and different from all the crap that is old and tired, are plucked from the list before they even get to “binge watch” status…. Flash Forward, Limitless, hell, Alien Nation years ago…. Glad to still have Lucifer… As cheesy as the new McGyver is, ill still have to turn it on just to get to netflix it later….
Fox is pretty good at canceling shows with greatest potential before they have a chance to take root and bloom (R.I.P. Firefly) yet keeps on renewing same tired tropes. They throw brand new freshmen shows to the wolves to simply sink or swim without giving audiences time to spread the word. Reminds me of the saying “lions for lambs.” The casts and crews, writers etc are lions but they work for small-minded troglodytes with no vision. They are the epitome of “penny-wise and dollar dumb.”
Can’t believe the series was cancelled! Was so looking forward to the next season. The characters, actors, technology, and premise were great. What happened? They should definitely give the series a “second chance”. Please!
