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?
Yes I love the show. Its heavy but its needed, really good show.
I was hoping that by now Netflix would have picked this show up and continued it. This was a real life drama show that was explosive and had a solid cast. I would love for it to return.
I love this show why on earth are you not giving second season.?So real so true was that the problem.??
Foxes Shots Fired is exactly the type of program that needs to be continued. America’s racial issues will never heal until people in this country stare at it and disect all of its ugliness. This show is cancelled in my opinion due to white fragility it’s too real and in the opposite direction of what white America can digest. What a shame..if TV exec’s and advertiser had the guts they would make sure this show was the most watched show on TV.. #The truth shall set us all free #We all need to heal
They should’ve made a second season really good show and has a lot of teaching about the humanities that all humans are the same no matter what color our skin are
, I was hoping there’d be a second season!!!!!
Yes, I absolutely love a second season.
I was just looking to see when the second season started. Im really bummed its not a second season. I loved the show. And love Sanaa Lathan
I loved the show….would really like to see more…was wondering what the hell happened? Was looking forward to the next season….what a RIP off after getting interested!
Yes, without a doubt I’d watch another season!
If you guys don’t want to do a second season then why not just put it on Netflix or something just finish up the series on Netflix why do you fox guys keep on taking all the good stuff on tv and I’m sorry not just the fox channel but the underground station and others like really what’s the pointe of a tv and stations if you guys keep taking good shows off the air..
I loved the show. I couldn’t wait until the next episode. They left it wanting more. We need season two. Who makes these decisions to end a great show. They are so mistaken.
I would watch season 2 bring this show back people need see the reality of things
Millions of viewers but poor ratings, hmmm.. of course they cancelled this show. Why would white America allow the reality of today be told on a show?
Yes I most definitely would watch. You can’t end the show like that and not have another season. I think I should be longer and not limited.
Thats was the most up-to-date show ive seen in a long time. Real action , education that we all could use. This is real America. Im sure some people found it shamful, the truth is eyeopeing.it make you wonder,if cities experiencing high crime rate with unsolved murders are victims of the secret society. Whatever the case may be, fox started it and fox might as well finish the reeducation of whats really going on, maybe the players in the game wouldget enlighten themselves and see how everything done in the dark eventually shows in the light. Im sorry for the… Read more »
