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?
It’s a really really good show and me being from Concord makes it even better I really hope they make a second season it’s awesome series and it’s real life stories.
Yes it should be a second season due to the exposure of racial profiling within law enforcement of the communities “the show us too realistic for Fox ” is the only reason Fox doesn’t want a second season so go to a different network BET etc…
This is a great show with alot of different twist. How can we keep this on?
That’s terrible. I enjoyed watching this show. This needs to be reconsidered
This was a great show! I hope someone else pick it up!!!
This is some BS! This show is FANTASTIC!! It needs to be brought back!!
I really enjoy the show, it has alot of truth, and it is ver real, i hope someone else picks it up…excellent shows. It will be missed.
I’m so sick of these ignorant programs showing complete stupidity continuously being renewed, but a show with substance can never be sustained.
Not surprised it was canceled, the story although good had some really bad script writing and nothing really compelling to keep viewers posted. Perhaps with a better team of writers it could have pulled off a 2nd season.
OMG this is an awesome show….please have a second season
Shots Fired is a great TV show, and should not be cancelled. Hopefully, another network would pick the show up.
Yes, I watched and love it
Yes, I watched each show. I look forward to seeing every time it airs. I hope it is picked up by another channel.
Are you serious. I watch this and record ever episode . Im waiting like a big kid and they playing.
Noooooooo! please don’t cancel the show. I love this show! I look forward to wensday nights. Please reconsider. It’s one of the best shows on tv.
