After just two weeks, FOX is pulling their new Second Chance TV show from its Wednesday night timeslot. Starting next week, the series will air on Friday nights at 9pm, switching places with Hell’s Kitchen. Ratings-challenged Sleepy Hollow will also begin airing on Friday nights at 8pm on February 5th.
The network hasn’t cancelled Second Chance yet but a timeslot change like this certainly doesn’t bode well for the series’ future. Neither do the ratings. The series debuted to a 1.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.71 million viewers. In week two, the ratings dropped to a 1.0 rating with 3.75 million. Last year, FOX cut the show’s episode order to 11 installments though the producers say they requested the reduction.
Here are timeslot change details:

IT’S A GUT-WRENCHING CHALLENGE ON AN ALL-NEW “HELL’S KITCHEN” WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27, ON FOX
After the contestants struggle to work together during opening night in the dining room, Chef Ramsay presents the red and blue teams with a communication challenge. Each contestant will wear a chef jacket with the dish they must complete written on the back of the jacket, while their teammates must read off the instructions to that contestant in order for him/her to properly prepare the dish. The team that correctly completes the most dishes will win a relaxing retreat in Santa Barbara, while the losing team must prepare the kitchen for the next dinner service, which involves gutting 100 lbs. of seabass. Later, during the dinner service, the teams will cook their second dinner service for VIP guests, including astronaut Buzz Aldrin. Find out which team will deliver an out-of-this world successful dinner service, and which team will struggle to manage the simplest tasks in the all-new “16 Chefs Compete” episode of HELL’S KITCHEN airing Wednesday, Jan. 27 (9:01-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

I LOVE SECOND CHANCE.. I HOPE IT ISN’T CANCELLED. THE CHARACTRS AND PLOT ARE ALL UNIQUE, INTERESTING AND COME ON…ROBERT KAZINSKY…WHAT A HUNK. LOVE THE PLOTS.
This show gets better and better with a new added twist each week. Scream Queens was terrible yet it is given a second season. Give this show a Second Chance (pun intended ). My Son and I watch every week. There are not that many shows that a mother can watch with a son.
Love Second Chance. Please do not cancel it. Tim DeKay is a great actor. The other ones are new and fresh.
Second Chance is a great series, please DO NOT cancel it. Trust us it is a lot better than several that were renewed….
My husband and I love second chance , it’s our weekly date nite ritual, we are addicted, hope it gets better ratings , we hate to see it go off the air , we hope
It does
Not get cancelled, the cast is great and the show is great please keep

Second Chance is the show my husband and I look forward to every week. Absolutely LOVE the actors , especially Tim, who plays essential the same character as he did on “White Collar”.
Finally, a police show that isn’t the usual stuff.
Don’t cancel, give it a chance.
I LOVE this show & I am only sorry that it was cut from 13 episodes to 11 episodes. I think that the cast connects terrific & I just look forward to watching it each Friday night. Please DONT cancel it!!!!
Whaaaaaaaaaaaat? The last episode is next week!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
So SICK of my favourite shows being cancelled!
such an enjoyable show with an unusual premise/twist so why won’t you give it a “second chance” to find a bigger audience. when we see a show’s not doing so well – instead of supporting it; we shy away from it because we don’t want to get invested in the characters (kazinsky and mary are GREAT!!) and then have it cancelled. please cancel some of those ridiculous FAKE reality shows instead. they’re so unbelievably boring – commercials are more entertaining!!
please don’t cancel Second Chance!
Another good show with the chance of being cancelled. Why is it that you cancel shows either during the first season or after? I know of alot of successful shows that didn’t do well the fist season & now they are on their 7,8,9,1021th ect… seasons. Please keep this show.
Please keep this show!
