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?
Loved it! Great show….wishing for a 2nd season.
Yes I would have watched a second season it was a good show to me. It deserves a second season.
Yes I would watch a 2nd season. After every episode is done I just cant wait to see the next one because it seems like they end their episodes with something happening that makes you wonder what the next episode will be like. I hope it comes back for a 2nd season
Great show! Would love a season 2!
this show is vitally worth watching but fox is only into gimmick shows
Yess, definitely would have watched a second season. Awesome show!!! This should be television not reality tv….
The show was good, reality to most of US!
Of course, I watched “Shots Fired” like everyone else. It’s a great show. I couldn’t wait to get home from work and watch the show on HULU (I work 2nd shift).
FOX should have a second season. Fans of the show aren’t going to be happy with being short-changed. I’m not.
I thought it was worth watching. It’s a awareness to reality today.
I thoroughly enjoyed the show, with all the Reality Junk on television, They would cancel this show
I don’t understand. I thought it was a good series.
Dang the show just started and cancelled already… I loved watching it and prefer it over Empire as well as other shows. At least give it a second season
That is so dissappointing the show has touch on real life issues a second season is definitely needed
It’s really too bad that you choose not to renew. I absolutely love it, one of the best drama’s out there! You should really reconsider.
I watch the show. It’s something that is need in this day and age. I hope it gets picked up by some other producers it needs more seasons.
