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?
Why?????
I think they should bring it back. Because the show showes u how the world really is
This is messed up! Good real life drama y’all cancel but you keep them housewives series around! Disgusting!
Some people don’t want to see the truth on live TV. But rather take off a good show that is telling true life stories & real corruption. What a shame. I’m pissed b/c they always take off the good shows
I agree! The show brings police corruption to the forefront like we always knew was going on.
I agree
I thought it was a good show…. one of the few shows I watch
This show is sooooo good. It should not be cancelled. I started not to watch it buy I got sucked in. It’s wonderful
This was a great show that looked into police shootings in a way that truly personalized every character. The writing is phenomenal. So sorry to see it go. Hopefully it gets picked up by a streaming service.
This is the best show on television right now! Please don’t cancel the show! Why are the best shows always canceled!??
Keep the show very good
I really like the show, Shots Fired. I was disappointed when I heard the show was being canceled and not renewed for a second season. Can it be picked up by a different network?
Ummmmm the show needs to stay it’s a great one one of my faves
This was a very very good show and I think they should keep it. I’ve tuned in. I was little skeptical at first but after watching the first episode I was drawn it!!
The show is excellent. Please Renew or take it to another network. Fox don’t want it, why??
No, these writers need to quit pairing up black women with non black men, whether it’s a baby daddy or otherwise. Take it off
Yes watched every episode Keep This Show
