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?
Yes! They can second season , because she try to get her daughter back. Also found out what Really happening between black cop and white teenage
Wow! Finally a show that scratches the surface to reality and FOX isn’t going to have a 2nd season. I’m not much of a television person because of the garbage that’s being shown but Shots Fired really caught my attention. Maybe BET can pick it up. This show needs to be aired!
I love this show, I hope there will be multiple seasons to come
I literally watched this show every Wednesday. Sanaa is one of my favorite actress. I wish they would bring it back for a second season ! I’m here for it.
I’ve been glued to the television every Wednesday to watch this show. I was really looking forward to a second season. I would be beyond highly dissapointed if you cancel this show.
I truly enjoyed the show each week, it definitely deals with real life issues and would love to see more episodes.
Yes the show very good it portrays what’s happening now in certain states these real issues open up platform hope it gets another seasons!! It’s Shame if it don’t come back
I loved the show..
It was thought and emotion provoking!!
I can’t understand why not a second season??
But shows like lethal weapon, power, and etc stay on for many seasons with its poor story line..
One of the best shows out there. I never heard about it until I saw it on Hulu. Maybe more advertising for this show would help. This show really encases what is going on in the world today and i think it’s important to get the word out. Please don’t cancel this show!
