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 just binged watched the show and I think it was well written and deserves a second season.
We want seckond season. Great show!!!
I love “Shots fired” and it should NOT be cancelled. If you look at the last episode ratings, it hiked up 17% from a 2% from episode before the last one. It was a major gain in viewers. That showed you guys right there, that people WANT MORE OF SHOTS FIRED. Also, you guys run the second season in the off season of empire, star, leathal weapon or any other major shows, I GUARANTEE YOU WILL GET THE RATINGS YOUR LOOKING FOR. If you already had season 2 planned to air as Empire & Star ends for the year, “Shots… Read more »
Great show, I just wish this goes on. N
eed more seasons.
This was a good season i like this show and i dont think its right to no make these shows with an entire 1st season ans then not make anymore. Im very upset that they wont be making another 1.
Yes I loved this show. It highlight all the ******** going on in the world today, it was a voice in my book. Would definitely recommend this show and would have loved to watch more seasons. I feel like you take all the true shows away. Anytime it highlights truth it seem to be a problem.
I am sooooooooo disappointed this show was different amd real i wish they reconsider

Bring the show back, it’s a great show! Real life s***!!!
I am disappointed. I loved coming home after a long day/week at work to watch this show. My husband would even watch it with me. I really wish another station would pick this show up.
I FELT IT WAS A GREAT SHOW. GREAT ACTING. THEY TO DO ANOTHER SEASON. AWESOME SHOW
This was a good show! It shouldn’t have gotten canceled!
Please create a new season. I loved the very 1st season.
It was a good show that should have never been cancelled it should have had another season two and see where the ratings go you have to understand that it has two great shows on at the same time Empire and shots fired you need to change the play time of the two shows that they’re not one after another and then you get good ratings
This was a great show…they always cancel the good shows!!!!!
why don’t they cancel all these shows I greysanatomy I know scandals cancelling all these shows that have filth in them they keep those cuz people watch them they need to get rid of those disgusting shows
