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.

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.

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?
This is one of the few shows my wife and I enjoy. We came across it as we were for something to watch on Friday night’s. I cannot believe it is a one and done series. Last night’s episode really leaves several options for storyline direction.
This show is a diamond in the rough. The story arc is just exploding. I DVR the show. One of the problems was the name and maybe they should have used Frankenstein effect or whatever. It is just frustrating because network tv is putting out a non-cheesy show. Cancel the Limitless’s of the world not this-Fox
My wife and I both love this this show! It is a great concept and it deserves a chance to catch on with folks even if we are not your primary demographic-you put it on Friday evenings for heaven’s sake! According to DVR people it is a highly recorded/watch it later show, let it sit in the tank a bit longer and see if it doesn’t rejuvenate itself.
This show is so amazing !!!!!!! They can’t cancelled it !!!
I love the show. I think it’s funny, romantic, adventurous, and intriguing. It keeps you enthralled from start to finish. Please don’t cancel it, I look forward to watching it every friday.
This show is great! Don’t know about how TV works in the US, but it shouldn’t be cancelled. Everything works on this show. We just need to make sure it doesn’t turn into a regular detective show. Hopefully the talent at FOX can ensure that.
I love this show! It’s the only new show I’ve watched every episode and look forward every week for the next. I hope this doesn’t turn into another firefly because it be a shame. Everything about this show is Interesting and I love the romance growing between Mary and Pritchered.. Please please don’t cancel it!
This is a show with great potential, please give it a chance to find it’s following!
Great Show!!!Please do not cancel
I love Second Chance! The powers that be didn’t seem to give this show a chance. They didn’t hardly promote it people don’t even know about it.
I really like this show, hope it gets a second season. Starting to get really good storylines
Good show ..don’t cancel. GI’ve it a chance
I loved this program from the beginning. It’s very interesting and intriguing with room to grow! I hate when the networks pull down a show that needs to cultivate a following. CHEERS was the bottom of the ratings for almost a whole season but it stayed and became a revered favorite! I hate the “new” way of turning shows into mindless “soap operas”, Empire might have actually been a good show without the useless “scandal” approach. I have turned off or refused to watch these mindless shows. The Catch seems to be another waste of airtime. I am not adverse… Read more »
Really enjoying this show. Look forward to Friday night. Tim Dekay makes a great G-man.
Why does Fox keep canceling these Friday shows? Friday is a crap night for their beloved 18-45 demographic. These people are out, not couch surfing! Put the shows on and leave them there.
This is a really great show. Give it to ABC or CBS or any other network and it will have #1 ratings. Its Fox that people dont like.
