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?
Please keep this show!! It is our favorite show to watch and continued to get better throughout the season. We started 3-4 new shows this season and this was the best by far. I was shocked when I found out it was on the chopping block. All of the others that we didn’t like as much have already been renewed. I don’t get it. Fox needs to give it a chance. Everyone I know that watches it started late in the season and is hooked. I really hope they pay attention to the Hulu viewings over the next 30 days.
This show is addictive. I look forward to it coming on every week. Please keep in around. It does deserve a “second chance.”
Quality TV at its best, PLEASE don’t cancel this show. My entire family has Second Chance scheduled on our DVR’s and refuse to miss even a single episode. Look up the history of ‘Cheers’ and see how NBC gave it a chance to find its audience. Their patience paid off in spades, a legendary show was born.
Great Show, hope it renews.
Looking forward to the new season. Second Chance is the only show that my husband and I can agree on watching together. We love it.
Please don’t cancel the show. The writers of done a good job developing the characters, added great twists & have kept the plots flowing. Almost every episode has linked to the main plot which is nice. I just found this on Hulu 2 days ago & I’m really hoping there are more great episodes to come.
Please don’t cancel 2nd Chance I love this show, come on you kept Fringe!!! and it’s ratings weren’t great in the beginning!!! I love Fringe I love 2nd Chance. FOX you always take chances on your shows don’t kill 2nd Chance GIVE IT A 2ND CHANCE PLEASE!!!!!!
Please renew this show!! My entire family enjoyed the show. Does the ratings include people who recorded it, or watched it “on demand”? My husband works weekends and would watch it on demand on Monday. Just because people aren’t watching it on time doesn’t mean they are not watching it!! Why do all the good shows that the family can watch get canceled?
Please, please RENEW!!! This show is Awesome! !!
please renew Second Chance This is the best new show and deserves a chance
Please Re-New Second Chance for 2nd Season, loved the show… loved being able to watch a show that the whole family can enjoy!!!!
PLEASE, PLEASE,PLEASS, don’t cancel Second Chance! It’s such an interesting and great show. My husband and I fall between the 18-49 demo and we love the show! We put out 2 year to bed early so we can be ready for the show. Yes, you gave it a detrimental time slot, but as you can see, there are many fans who love the show. Please renew this show! It’s something fresh, the acting is good and it’s not vulgar.
I love this show its something new. Its not like any other show or movie I have ever seen. I will stop watching FOX if it doesn’t renew it. If they would just make a second season they will get the ratings they want.
Please, please, please renew this show! My husband and I are not the normal demographics – we are 70 & 56 years old. We have thoroughly enjoyed this series. It seems like every time we find a new series we like, the network cancels the show. Looking forward to seeing Mary, Jimmy, & Duval solving more crimes with the aid of modern technology; plus solving the mystery of what dimension Otto exists in!
At first my husband and I were very skeptical about this show, but decided to give it a try. We
are happy to say we have been hooked from the very first episode! Please renew! Friday’s, or whatever night it is aired on would not be the same without this show!
