Before the show even began airing, Second Chance went through two name changes (previously The Frankenstein Code and Lookinglass) and had its episode order reduced. Will viewers even give it a first chance and watch? Cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
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 ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
1/23 update: Cancelled already? FOX is moving this low-rated series to Friday night.

Note: Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the Second Chance TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I absolutely love this show! Please don’t cancel it! It is imaginative and is a breath of fresh air. If Zombies, Vamps and Aliens can make it, why NOT a man brought back from the dead for a purpose? I look forward to Friday nights!
This show is awesome! The only reason it’s not more successful is due to the lack of advertising and publicity. Acting is great and so is the love interest. It doesn’t hurt that she is so hot and i’m sure many women love the young sheriff. If FOX cancels this show I will never watch the network again.
My husband and i really like this show! So much better than many of the other shows on TV this season! Would also like to see it nurtured and promoted as Melissa said in her comment below.
Please don’t cancel this show. It is part of the few that I watch. Excellent story line. Techno savy, seriously funny!
I gave this show a second chance after a rough start and it’s now what I look forward to every week. Characters are great and the show manages to transport me to a kick ass fantasy world. No matter how crappy the week, I know Second Chance will make everything better. I gave Second Chance a second chance and it paid off. I love the irony.
I really like the show Second Chance! It is very innovative with good acting and outstanding story telling. Please do NOT cancel. Give it a chance to make its stride into the public eye of interest.
Please re-new Second Chance. Love the acting and the plots. Nice to see Tim back on a show. Please don’t cancel the show.
Please re-new Second Chance. Love the series. Great acting, love Tim great to see him back that is one reason I watch the series. Not enough good programs left.
Absolutely love Second Chance. Don’t be quick to pull this off the air! Nurture and promote it. The premise is a bit of a stretch for most to take in, but the acting is great and the stories improve every week. Look forward to watching every week. DO NOT CANCEL!
I enjoyed this show much to my surprise. the name initially caught my attention however I passed it by many times due to the picture of the young sheriff hanging in suspense in a tank. I will continue to watch it as long as it is on the air.
I really enjoy this show and would be crushed if they pulled the plug so quickly. The show has some room for improvement and should probably focus more on the love interest. I really hope the network decides to improve in leau of termination. The general idea of the story and the quality of the actors makes me think it can be a great show, and is certainly worth the effort. It’s not like were talking about the terd that is Supergirl.
There’s just not enough good story here to keep a person interested from start to finish. No true special talents or tricks that the reborn sheriff can exhibit or display to make you say this is worth the one-hour sit in front of the TV. The writers must be uninterested in the whole thing, or maybe they’re writing when they’d rather be napping. I’ve just not seen enough to keep me coming back from episode to episode.
…and yet, somehow about two-million percent better than the writing in “The Expanse” or “Heroes: Rehashed”.
Forever meets White Collar with the same water base plot and uptight FBI character played, apparently, by the only actor able to portray stiff, right or nothing inconsequence. Should appeal to males in their 70’s whose best days were in the `70;s while providing roles for ladies in their late-late 30’s who no longer show nicely in steady bright light..
So bad! The writing is atrocious. Not a bad cast, but ridiculous writing.
