This past week was the first with Second Chance’s new spot at the last bastion of close-to-being-canceled television shows: Friday evenings. We know that shows are typically moved to Fridays as a result of low ratings, and Second Chance made its move after only two episodes. In its new time slot, its numbers were even worse pulling a 0.7 rating in the demo with a paltry 2.22 million total viewers. Its cancellation is imminent. After this past week, TV By The Numbers deemed it “sure to be cancelled by May 2016.” Important to note, however, is that Second Chance is owned by FOX Studios and as such does have a better shot at renewal than a show from an outside producer might.

Second Chance is receiving mixed/average reviews on Metacritic, pulling a score of 47. Most reviews didn’t have great things to say, and even the more positive ones cited tired cliches and unoriginal content. RogerEbert.com gave the show a score of 10 (out of 100) and stated that “The writing is atrocious, the production values are subpar, and there’s not a single good performance.” It would seem clear, then, that not only are viewers not tuning in to watch Second Chance, critics seem wholly unimpressed with the program.
