Have you been watching Shots Fired? The FOX TV show was originally billed as a limited series, but there have been recent talks of a possible second season. What do you think? Should the show be cancelled or renewed?
The 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.
In a recent interview with Deadline, creators Gina Prince-Bythewood and Reggie Rock Bythewood said they were open to a second season of the FOX show. However, ratings for the freshman series have not been stellar.
Shots Fired debuted in March to a mediocre rating of 1.13 in the 18-49 demo and 4.70 million viewers. Since, the ratings have fallen even further. Currently, the show is averaging a 0.99 rating in the 18-49 demo and only 3.93 million viewers. While it’s not FOX‘s lowest-rated or least-watched show, the numbers certainly aren’t great.
Do you think FOX should risk another season? Would you watch more Shots Fired? Tell us what you think.
Yes, I love the show and could not believe it was ending. There is so much more story to tell. Excellent show! Got to see more! Telling all my friends to go to demand. I don’t think it was given enough media.
I would definitely watch another season. I I think it was a good show. I’m not African-American but I really like that the leads in the show were African-American. There are very few shows that can say the same.
This was an excellent story, well-performed and well written, and would love to see more of the two main characters working on another case again. Please consider making this an ongoing series!
please do not cancel this show. SHOTS FIRED is a great show and it helps us open our eyes about our justice system. for some one that is studying to be a lawyer i want what is right for our country. i want everyone to know that our justice system really needs help. please keep this show going.
I sincerely believe that this show’s audience will enjoy multiple seasons following the Pilot for “Shots Fired “. This show is so very captivating! It is an intense, lurring bonefide work of art. Shots Fired, is an educational tool that the entire country must be a student of for its riveting truths. I am embarrassed to know that these issues are still plaguing our society, and continues to pose a very serious threat to our families right here at home, in our justice system, in our nation, For Blacks, its and emotionally rollercoaster everyday to prepare for the nations bred… Read more »
Excellent show. Terrific writing. FOX is on the rise with show like these. Look out HBO. “Shots Fired” is a new reason to set the DVR!!
I absolutely love this show and so do my parents. Show us relatable to current tensions. Actors and actresses are an excellent choice. I need to see black people in television. More than enough shows supporting Caucasians. I will stop watching Fox because I am disappointed. Why not a season 2?
You have to bring it back. It addresses current social issues in an intelligent and intertwining way, Characters and flow is better than anything else one right now on any network
Our whole family would Love a Season 2! When you think you know whats going to happen…It throws you a curve ball. Its a Great show
Loved it bring season 2
I loved the character development and the characters, even the evil ones. I will definitely watch a second season. Fox, please, please. Thank you.
The show is good!! Why Fox!? Why!? We need a Season 2!!
I absolutely enjoyed this show. Watching in again on Hulu. This is a keeper!!!
Shots Fired is superb television, I looked forward to every Wednesday and I haven’t done that since Melrose Place. Shots Fired deserves a second season, the acting, writing, directing and music are amazing! More Shots Fired please!! Oh and love the Ashe and Preston pairing!!!
The show is mostly stereotypes across the board trying to make a buck off a “ripped from the headlines” vibe. Ashe is waaay too much of a hot mess to care about – seriously, scriptwriters…life is tough, so her daily approach to problems is sex with pretty much anybody, booze, blackmail, beating up people? Keepin’ it real?? Fabulous depiction of the kind of woman we should all strive to be. Oh, but she’s a good person who wants to do good. If that’s the best you can do, no season two. There is a serious, undeniable need to address this… Read more »
