Second Chance slips closer and closer to cancellation each week. The show’s rating did improve a few percentage points from last week to a 0.77 in the 18-49 demographic, but the total viewership continued to dip down pulling only 1.98 million viewers.
On TVbytheNumber’s FOX Renew/Cancel standings for this past week, their section on Second Chance simply read: “Nope.” Its current status is “Sure to be cancelled by May 2016.” As I mentioned last week, FOX reduced its episode order before the show had even premiered and there’s only 11 episodes in the order in total. We’ve already made it through five episodes and the show will likely finish out its order and fade away. Their Twitter page is still active, but only with a following of a little over 4,000. There is a decent amount of fan engagement, but the numbers en masse just aren’t substantially there to keep the show afloat. Cast engagement on Twitter continues to be fairly minimal as well.
