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.

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?
Liked the show and was hoping for a second season. Tired of getting invested in new shows and then having them cancelled. Very frustrating!
Noticed you didn’t post my comm&se snt abo!ut not cancelling SHOTS FIRED. I really don’t think anyone has read all of the comments except the ones that couldn’t bee posted. With so many viewers, why do you not care?? Time for FOX to actually care about their viewers and listen to what we have to say! Let’s have a SEASON 2!! PLEASE RECONSIDER!!
I enjoyed watching Shots Fired and I will be very disappointed to see the show leaving.
Renew renew renew renew plzzzzzz this show is amazing, exiting, thrilling keeps you wondering it can’t end so suddenly after one season there’s not many exiting crime shows like this one anymore. You have to keep the seasons coming plzzzzzz.
If Fox doesn’t want to renew it for a Season 2 then hopefully a other network will pick it up. The show had so many interesting twists and turns I can’t imagine why they won’t renew it!!! Y’all better do something before they end up with a boycott………. IJS
Why cancel the show? We love it!! Don’t cancel….please return the show.
It would be very sad if Shots Fired is not renewed for a second season. GREAT show. This is a reality show. TRUE REALITY..
damn shame this show was cancelled.
Yes, I loved this show. Seems like every time a good show comes on they rip it right back off. Damn Shame
Really no season 2 why , because it brings the truth about society to light ugh please bring it back , SEASON 2 PLEASE !!!!!!! Ill be waiting
Truth
It’s a show true ti what’s going on in society today. It’s a shame that it eas cancelled.
It’s a shame that when a something pushes society to explore aspects of the societal norms that have disparate impacts on certain races that “it” is rejected. Whether it’s a show, a person, a speech, etc. People need to learn to let ones truth stand. An injustice for one is an injustice for our entire great American culture.
This series is good and deserves to be given another chance or taken off Fox on on another channel. The producers at Fox probably don’t appreciate the show. Viewers are enjoying it and I talked to many who don’t know it’s on Fox.
Please bring another season!
Please bring Shots Fired back. It was a good stimulating , thought-processing show. It was a relief to watch because its so much reality shows on the TV. Shots Fired made you think and its a family show. The cast was good and very involved in their characters. Fox and writers needs to bring it back .
