Fox is ready to say goodbye to Prodigal Son. The crime drama has been canceled after two seasons. Prodigal Son was one of the lowest-rated series on Fox this season, averaging 0.41 and dropping nearly 50% from its first season. This is the second-worst year-to-year trend of any Big 4 series, behind only Bless the Harts, which Fox also canceled after two seasons. The show remained popular in delayed viewing and on streaming, and was one of the few shows on the network to actually be co-owned by Fox, which was left with very few in-house shows after 20th Century Fox was acquired by Disney in 2019. However, its weak first-run ratings and high hosts were too much to jutify keeping it around. It'll end its two season, thirty-three episode run on May 18. Tom Payne, Michael Sheen, Lou Diamond Phillips, Bellamy Young, Halston Sage, Aurora Perrineau, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Keiko Agena starred in the series. This is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.
