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 really enjoyed watching Shots Fired and would love to see a second season and so on. Please bring the show back!!!!
I have given up on Fox. When that channel started back in the day, they had the best shows on television. Now every time they get something really good, they dump it. Yeah, I guess shows like some foul mouth obnoxious chef really are much, much better. Idiots!
Shots fired was my favorite show. It was actually about real life situations. Its a shame there will not be a seson 2.
Shots Fired was such an incredible show with relevant topics of today. I loved how is character and situation was explored it made the audience think and kept you guessing. Sadly it is a big mistake not to have a second season
Yes I love this show and looking forward to season 2. Plz bring back.
Stupid Fox people. They cancelled APB and Shots Fired. What is wrong with you people. Stop cancelling the good stuff to air the crappy stuff.
I watched the after show set interviews. Very good! FOX made a bad choice. Should keep another season to test ratings. Maybe Netflix or Hulu will give it a try, Maybe time and night was wrong.
I know you originally promoted as a 10 series show but this was awesome please have a Second series of this show
Shots Fired is a very good show and YES I will watch a second season and a third TO THANK YOU
I’m late but please bring it back it was great!!
My husband and I looked forward to the weekly shows. We loved the acting and the story line. Please allow it to return.
Love this show. I want more! It’s issues portrayed are very current in the world today and the vibrant actors make it feel so real. Season 2 is a must!
This is a great show. It hit right on what is going on in the society today. There is tension all over this country between the police departments and justice systems verses the minority communities. This show brings it out in a brilliant way. Bring this show back, please.
I love this show it’s one of the best shows on TV. I love how it shows problems with black and white and it really gives a real world point of view and targets ,real world problems if there is not a second season that will be very sad . this is a amazing show , with amazing actors and actresses , great job by the writer and director.
Shots Fired is one of the best shows on tv, a second season is a must. The show has a lot of substance and it appeals to a very broad audience… Please, please, please, pretty please do a second season….
