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?
Great show, I would love to see another network pick it up!
Wow without a doubt I would have watched Season 2
Most definitely I would’ve watched the second season of Shots Fired. I still would watch a second season of Shots Fired.
Please consider writing for a new season. The acting was great, believable and very much current.
Wow!! With all the death & anger, hate, police & citizens crimes, and so many ways to spin TV drama, casting & the entire crew were pretty good!!!! I WONDER WHT’s really going on with anything fox??
WE NEED A SEASON TWO !
I am very dissapointed that there will not be a second season. A show like this in this day and time is a much needed show! I hope that they reconsider and bring it back!!

I DEFINITELY would have watched a 2nd season. This is the type of show the world needs to see, but as usual is instead ignored. Great show.
I loved the show. I just watched all of the first season on Hulu. Why are the great shows always canceled? Not a good decision, Fox.
We want season 2
