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?
I love shots fired and I agree don’t cancel
Great show. Don’t cancel. I watch it every week. One of my favorites!!
Why are you cancelling shots fired? It’s one of the few shows I actually watch. Are the ratings being counted for those who watch on demand? I work nights and can only watch it on demand. Y’all cancel it when it gets good?!?!…. no I just hope a different network picks it up for is known for being racist and a very conservative station. If it wasn’t for this show I wouldn’t patronize fox at all.
I just caught up on this show and it is great. I don’t think that they should cancel this show it’s too good to end.
I love this sbow real life story.
This show is too good to cancel!! I am pissed that the decision for the show is to cancel it instead of figuring out how to get more viewers. It is just the first season, you gotta give it a chance. Let “Shots Fired” take the place of “Star.”
This is a good show. Don’t cancel, bring back for another season. I hope I will see the ending of what happened this season before it ends
Absolutely love the show! A great watch for the American people with all that’s going on. I know this hits home for many people. This show personifies the uncomfortable truth that is embedded in many communities; exposing the corruption on all scales. It is definitely a tragedy that this show is being cancelled.
I loved the show unsure as to why it didn’t receive much ratings I’m hoping a season 2 will come about. Will definitely miss it
This Is Some Bull**** This Is A Good Show And yall Are Gonna take it Off Just Cruel Its No Reason Why Even If People Havent Seen The Show Its Still On onDemand I Think Yall Need to Rethink Cancelling This Show. Damn Shame We Only actually Get One Good Show On Fox5 Cause The Other One Is On Hbo
Great show! and a great cast!
I watched the show every week and I’m so disappointed that it’s been cancelled. It’s powerful, suspenseful and engaging. One of my kly favs.
This showed Rocked. One of my favorite shows. Why do you people do this to us? For once you need to not care about ratings and go by public opinion. Sanaa lathan has not been seen in a while. You bring her back and now she is gone again. She is a great actress. Consider the fans for once.
I loved this show, it was just getting good. Please re-consider bringing it back. It was a really good show with some great Actors & Actresses.
Yes I Love this show!!One of the best shows created.wth!!!!!wrong mistake of not bringing it back!!
