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.

Why are y’all ending it it was a real to life show and really good actors plz reconsider and BRING IT BACK PLEASE
I am waiting for a second season!! great show, great acting and great story line. True to life. Bring it back
Shots Fired is relevant and provacative. A very well done production, I hope The Bythewoods will shop it around to other networks.
Seriously, why would you cancel this show with such good acting. Have you considered canceling that loud mouth Chef? Now that would be a understandable cancellation. Shots Fired…..rethink that decision, the audience deserves it
I LOVE this show. Please don’ t cancel
Should have known, let a white boy get shot by a black cop. and end show, have white cops shoot.blacks and maybe show will get awards
Next to Lethal Weapon Shot Fired was one of the best shows that fox has had in a while….. Real life issues with real reactions…. I love love love this show. Powerful and informative.. The theme is even strong. Fox pls reconsider bringing this show back.
