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.

I absolutely love this show!! How could it be taken of the air?? What do we need to do to get a second season?
Awesome show…. definitely needs a season 2
I really enjoyed the show, if another network pick it up, I will differently watch it.
I loved the show
Would very much like to see it come back.
Good show. Needs continued with a second season.
I loved shots fired and so did my friends we had many discussion on it showed you how to look at different situations in a different way I’m very sad that it won’t have a 2nd season
I absolutely LOVE this show because of my schedule I have to catch it on FoxNow or on demand but I can’t understand why it would be cancelled. Is it because it’s ACTUALLY about something as opposed to ratchetness? Shows like Empire are demeaning to black people yet they keep that. Well there is the answer to my own question. I really hope they decide to keep the show going. It’s definitely worth watching. So much reality dealing with real issues for real people today.

This the only show I watch on network television . Everyone should contact Netflex.
My family would have definitely watched a season two. We love this show. Was hoping for a second season. So sad hearing there won’t be one. This was our favorite Fox show ever. We think it just got to real for some people.
