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.

What do you think? Were you hoping that the Shots Fired TV show would be renewed for a second season?
I’d like to see the aftermath. Did the lawyer end up locking the guy up who killed Joey? Ash daughter? The sheriff? New sheriff? The pastor. The governor.
Please bring the show back. Or at least make a spin off that can tie up some of the loose ends.
C’mon Fox. bring the show back. the story doesn’t end there. what happen in Joey’s case? the sheriff that got killed? Ashe Daughter? did the sheriff who killed Jesse see a judge yet? how long was he sentenced for? what about the sheriff Ashe arrested at the storage unit? we need answers , we need season 2, 3, 4, etc. please bring the show back.
