Will there be another season of Shots Fired? Recently, creators Gina Prince-Bythewood and Reggie Rock Bythewood spoke with Deadline about the future of the FOX TV series.
The 10-part 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 the interview, Prince-Bythewood said they planned Shots Fired as a limited series:
We came at it as a 10-hour film and we had the opportunity to tell this story over 10 hours.”
But is there still a chance of a second season? Bythewood says maybe:
If we decided we all wanted to do it again, we could.”
Shots Fired has received mixed ratings since its debut on March 22nd. Currently, the show is averaging a 1.02 rating in the 18-49 demo and 4.044 million viewers, making it one of FOX‘s top-10 shows in terms of viewership. However, in terms of ratings, Shots Fired ranks 13th.
What do you think? Are you watching Shots Fired? Do you think it needs a second season?

Yes, there should be a second season, there was some similarly in the show to the situation in the Tulsa OK sheriff department, where the reserve deputy said he was reaching for his teaser and accidentally pull his unauthorized pistol; the outcome was the same except the wealthy done right to the sheriff went to jail.
Absolutely loved this show. Looked forward to seeing it every Wednesday night. I really hope they will consider a season 2.
I really enjoyed the FOX TV show Shots Fired. It’s sad that this show covers the stories that are occurring in our world. Maybe people can learn to be kinder and less judgemental by viewing the show. I’d enjoy a second season!
