What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the FOX television network, Shots Fired stars Sanaa Lathan, Stephan James, Stephen Moyer, Will Patton, Mack Wilds, Aisha Hinds, Clare-Hope Ashitey, Conor Leslie, DeWanda Wise, and Richard Dreyfuss. Helen Hunt, Jill Hennessy, and Dennis Haysbert guest star.
A timely mystery drama thriller, Shots Fired is a 10-hour limited series which explores the tense aftermath of two racially charged shootings in a small North Carolina town. When African-American Deputy Joshua Beck (Wilds) shoots and kills an unarmed white college student, it unsettles his small burg. Before the community comes to terms with the disturbing incident, frustration grows, regarding the overlooked murder of an African-American teenager. As tensions flare, the Department of Justice launches an official inquiry and dispatches experienced investigator Ashe Akino (Lathan) and young Special Prosecutor Preston Terry (James) to investigate.

Telly’s Take
Although FOX has billed it as both an “event series,” and a “10-hour film,” if Shots Fired scores in the Nielsen ratings, smart money says they will find a way to bring it back, perhaps as an anthology drama like ABC‘s American Crime, or American Crime Story on FX. After all, the networks never worry about my nutritional needs. I will keep an eye on the ratings but, at this point, I don’t forsee a second season.

Cant believe they’re cancelling this show. It is one of the realest shows on. Tired of all these crazy rrality shows & I want to see real depictions of what is truly going on in America. Shots fired & American Crime shows a lot of what is going on in real life.

Shots Fired is necessary for TV. A live version of what goes on in America is important to ALL generations. “Shots Fired” – A must that it be renewed for Season Two.
It should be renewed! I love this show. Sanaa Latham is phenomenal!
Why are networks so darn quick to cancel shows today? Especially shows with leading
minority characters. When I was growing up networks were willing to move shows around and try different time slots and different days to see if there may be a better fit. If the show still didnt have great ratings, then it was cancelled but the network at least tried. Today everything and everyone is reduced to a number and I guess numbers don’t deserve quality television shows that represent all of society equally.
Renew
Season 2 please!!!!!!!
this is a tremendous show and there s/b no question about renewal. all the actors are playing great roles and are totally believable. PLEASEEEEEEE BRING IT BACK FOR SEASON 2 !!!!!
The writing and the actors are great. Please consider renewing.
This show is awesome! I’m loving the BELIEVABLE actors and actresses. Sanaa Lathan and Stephen James are phenomenal! Please allow our Wednesday nights to be filled with suspense and excitement! THIS IS AN AWESOME SHOW!!!!! Hats off to the writers and directors!
Please bring it back! The show is amazing! Any show about race relations will be a little tricky, but give it a chance.
