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?
This show need to stay on!! They are not advertising it enough. I heard about the show on the radio and that’s why I watch it. Man it is sooooo goooood. Where is petition to keep it on? I have two signatures me and my mom.
I loved this show because it coincides with everything that is going on in society right now . It is a show that sparks conversations on both sides. Please bring it back

I love this show. Sad there won’t be a second season. Another good show gone.
i’m sad to hear that this show is going to be canceled. The acting the script the drama was excellent. I have to admit however that I recorded it and didn’t start watching it until the middle of the season. But once I did I binge watched five shows consecutively and then couldn’t wait until the next episode each week. I think that the advertising could’ve been better and more consistent.
Omg wtf this is a great show
Love this I leave wanting more every week 🙁
Oh no!! I loved watching this show! What a disappointment to hear it’s not coming back..
Excellent show they cancelled the show due to the fact it was to real. It showed that cops are no good. But fox keeps all the shows with boys kissing boys and that crazy hopefully another station will pick it up
