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 WAS THE BOMB. Should have been a second season
This show was amazing! I had no idea when it first aired but just saw it on HULU and watched all 10 episodes in one weekend. I was hooked! So crazy it got cancelled! It was so good! I doubt it was advertised well initially. It should have a 2nd season come back on HULU.
The show was awesome..It touched on real issues facing many cities in America… The truth sometimes hurt. Please bring it back I loved the cast.
I thought the show was very good. I would love to see it come back on.
I loved that show. I definitely would have watched a second season.
This show is Amazing, really didn’t hear much about it on TV, but I watched episode and was hooked… I believe this show would be wonderful if I was broadcast at a different day and time and have a lot more advertising it would be a success… I am anxiously waiting to watch Season 2 … Please please bring on season 2
I love this show, it educations people and i would love season 2, and to play in it lol, but for real i love it #season2
Just started watching. I didnt know about this show. Hate they only have one season. Ugh.
Just found this series on Hulu. This show is AWESOME! They always cancel the good ones.
I would really like to see another season! This was a show that I watched and liked and didn’t actually fall asleep trying to watch!
Just came across this show on Hulu and it’s an amazing show, that shines a light on crooked cops. They should come back a 2nd and third season
Only reason they cancelled it was because it was exposing too much that was going on in this ****** world they should definitely bring back another season
I absolutely agree!
Would have watch a second and third season
I most definitely would have watched a season 2. I just finished binge watching this show as I stumbled upon it 2 days ago. Like so many other greats dramas, specifically dramas with African American stars and co-stars it doesnt get publicized and it gets cancelled. Had I known about it when it first aired I would have been watching it faithfully. This show was excellent, thought provoking, moving and we need more like it.
There should be any show worth a damn never returns
