FOX drama Shots Fired won’t have a second season. The series creators have said they weren’t ruling out the possibility of a second season but it seems like there won’t be one.
The 10-part drama explores the tense aftermath of two racially charged shootings in a small North Carolina town. The cast includes Sanaa Lathan, Stephan James, Helen Hunt, Richard Dreyfuss, Will Patton, Aisha Hinds, Conor Leslie, and Stephen Moyer.
Not only was Shots Fired planned as a limited series, but the show’s ratings have been pretty poor. Season one, which wraps next Wednesday night, is averaging a 0.89 rating in the 18-49 demo and 3.56 million viewers. Still, the viewership numbers make the drama FOX‘s seventh most-watched scripted series for the 2016-2017 season.
Earlier, creators Gina Prince-Bythewood and Reggie Rock Bythewood said there’s always a chance for a second season down the line.
Word has been that the series wasn’t going to be coming back. Both a network spokesperson and Prince-Bythewood have confirmed that May 24th’s season finale will also be the show’s series finale.

What do you think? Did you watch Shots Fired? Would you have watched a second season of this FOX series?
I love the show shots fired
I would watch every season and episode you got !!!
There should be a second season of shots fired or like another part to it go to another town or something make it like fx’s Crime Story.
I loved watching this show that had great points to the story. Its speaks truth to the reality to this world and what it’s coming to. I really hope and pray that someone brings #shots fired back for more than a season 2 .I would love to see a shots fired for multiple seasons . Please please please. It was a great show . I can’t understand why you can’t chance it on a second season. I’m sure more ppl are streaming and binge watching this show now.
I never had heard of this show. Then just binged all the episodes. I can’t believe this is not going to be continued. It’s excellent. Can’t believe it. So Real.
I really enjoyed shots fired, due to the fact that it brings light to what’s actually still happening today. Yes it has calmed down tremendously, however in certain states it’s still happening. It’s sad to say, but it is. No matter the Color, we’re all equal. Until we realize that, nothing’s going to change. I really would love for the 2 season to come out, so I’m praying on it
Yes I hope and pray for another season. Alot of people still need to be” woke “as some say. .I believe people still need to teach us about racial equality.
I am so late to the party and binge watched 9 episodes of Shots Fired until my eyes were red and tired, then I got up the next morning and watched the tenth and final episode. I am disappointed that it is the final one.
I am too
I really got into this season of shots fired and would of loved to see a 2nd season
Hell yeah
Yes
I just finished watching the show and it was great. I would have loved to watched season 2.
