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.

THAT SUCKS..I LOVE THE SHOW!! HOPE THE FINALE IS !!!
I very rarely watch t.v.. I felt this was a very thoughtful and provocative show. Most T.v. Series these days seem repetitive and a bit ridiculous with their story line. This show seemed realistic and conversation worthy. I am sad that it didn’t do better, shocked really. I am very disappointed that it will not have a season two.
I love this show. Please come out with another season. Gives me something to look forward too! One of the best shows with great actors! Please keep them coming!
I Love the show me and my Mom we look forward to Wednesday night to look at. Don’t understand why its not coming back.
Great show!!! It should not be cancelled!
I RACE to the TV to watch this show on Wednesday ‘s!!! Bring it back!!
This is one of the best scripted shows on–intelligent, complex, realistic. Pretty much irreplaceable.
Loved the show. Keep it on
I Love the show please don’t cancel it!!!
