Deputy on Fox: Will it return for Season 2? Updates and more!

Deputy is a procedural crime drama series on Fox. The show is created by Will Beall, who also serves as an executive producer along with David Ayer, Chris Long, Barry Schindel, Kimberly Ann Harrison and John Coveny. The show revolves around the newly appointed sheriff of Los Angeles County, Bill Hollister. 

Deputy premiered on Fox on January 2, 2020. The series was ordered in May of 2019, consisting of thirteen episodes. The show ended its first season run on March 26, 2020.

Cast of Deputy

Deputy stars Stephen Dorff as the main character of Deputy Sergeant/Acting Sheriff Bill Hollister. He is appointed as sheriff of Los Angeles County after his predecessor dies of a heart attack. Yara Martinez stars in the role of Bill’s wife and a trauma surgeon, Dr. Paula Reyes. Brian Van Holt plays the role of Deputy Cade Ward. Bex Taylor-Klaus plays the role of Deputy (later Detective) Brianna Bishop. Shane Paul McGhie stars as Deputy Joseph Harris who joins the force in honor of his late father. He is also Bill’s god-son. Mark Moses plays the role of Bill’s second-in-command, Undersheriff Jerry London. Danielle Mone Truit plays the role of Deputy Charlie Minnick, Harris’s training officer, and Ward’s partner. She replaced the character of Deputy Rachel Delgado, which only appeared in the first episode and was portrayed by Siena Goines. 

Will there be a season 2 of Deputy?

Deputy had an average viewership number of 3.5 million viewers across its thirteen-episode run. This number is the fifth-highest in Fox’s scripted shows list, only behind 9-1-1, 9-1-1: Lone Star, Last Man Standing, and The Resident. However, in terms of ratings, Deputy stood at number 11 on the same list; only faring better than Outmatched, Duncanville, and the already canceled Almost Family. The poor ratings of the show resulted in it getting the axe from Fox after only one season. Deputy was canceled in April 2020, a week after the first season had finished airing; and will not be returning for a second season.

Although I’m sad to let Paula Reyes go, I’m so grateful to the exceptional cast, crew, and our fans. Thank you for opening up your hearts and home to our TV family. Sending all of you a big warm hug. #deputyonfox… https://t.co/OPJDVf0DyM
