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.

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.

Loved season 1. Excellent character development and exploration of how to move forward after crimes have been committed. Great look at how the justice system works. Really hope there is a season 2.

Shots fired was AWESOME!!!!! Please renew for second season
My husband and I watched this show and really enjoyed it. We were looking forward to Season 2.
No you can’t cancelled the show it’s a really nice show please please please bring season 2
I thought it was dreadful, and unworthy of renewal. What should have been a dynamic view of racial tensions in a North Carolina community turned out to be little more than a melodrama of the lead characters’ lives. Give me a break!
I really liked it and was really looking forward to it coming back on it’s messed up how they do that with shows there are some shows out there that need to be canceled that aren’t but that’s just my opinion
Wonderful story line unfortunately left in suspense. Look forward to show being brought back!!!! PLEASE!!!!
Shots Fired was a great show. Unfortunately I didn’t watch it until the first season was over and binge watched it On Demand. Great story line and great acting. Fox should have given this show more support. Very disappointed they didn’t renew it. It would be great if another network picked it up.
Fox is so full of it. Everything there’s a good show they want bring it back on. How can you cancel a show that has over 3 million viewers. I would wish for just let shows play on if rating drop then cancel it but you don’t give a show a chance. Fox suck !!!!!!!!!!!!
Shot’s Fired was an excellent show! Well written and exciting to watch each week. Great cast! I was so looking forward to season two. I’m extremely disappointed in Fox that they chose not to renew it. Ridiculous decision!! I’m really hoping that another network will be smart enough to pick it up.
Please bring shot fired back I really enjoyed looking at this show. Come on make us happy.
