Showrunner Rina Mimoun says that Red Band Society Season 2 is “totally possible,” despite the show staring down the cancellation barrel, per TVLine:
“We were never pulled from the schedule. We were always airing our first 10 episodes, and then going off for the holidays. That’s why we built toward this cliffhanger. We’re going to air the last three. Yes, we had gotten an order for additional scripts, and now we’re not going to wind up shooting them, but it doesn’t mean we can’t come back for Season 2. It’s totally possible.”
Mimoun says that while Season 1 provides closure, it also leaves the story open for the Ocean Park Hospital staff and new patients:
There’s closure for a lot of the current teen storylines that you’ve been watching, but the episode also shows you how the series itself is open-ended. Octavia Spencer is the lead of this show. She’s the heart and soul of Ocean Park Hospital, and it shows you that certain Red Bander stories may be all tied up, but we can tell other stories of people coming into the hospital using our amazing staff of Octavia [Spencer], Dave Annable, Rebecca Rittenhouse and Wilson Cruz — whose Kenji has become my favorite thing ever.
Mimoun’s advice to fans desperate to save Red Band Society? Fight for it:
I would say, if you want it, fight for it. Honestly, that is how these shows come back — because there is momentum from the people who love it. This small group, it’s prefect for Red Band because the show is about this tiny band of fighters. When fans fight, it forces the network to say “OK, wait a minute. Let’s rewatch. Let’s look at all the numbers. Let’s look at the live [numbers]. Let’s look at the DVRs.” And that’s the theme of Red Band: “Don’t give up.”

Red band society needs to be renewed. This was my favorite show and it just gives me and other people hope. I look forward to it every day. I’m an anorexic survivor and it makes me feel not alone and I feel it makes the world aware of these problems and that it’s not just adults going through it it’s children too. Give children hope and put it back on… If it’s possible why not do it? This show taught me to fight and this is a show I believe could go a long way you have to give it a chance put more commercials about it on, you can’t cancel it after one season. Give it a chance please I’m begging. It’s just a great show with great writers and producers and it keeps you on the edge of the seat it has it’s potential to go far I don’t know why you don’t see that. There are also many other people that believe this and are going through the same this and it’s a very helpful show with important messages and lessons that are learned through it.

As most shows today people watch them on there own time. We all set the DVR to record shows and we then watch them at a later date. Usually we watch multiple episodes at one time because with DVR’s we don’t have to watch one week at a time. We can wait until we have 5-10 episodes to them get started on watching a new season.
I know this doesn’t help the rating of a show but it’s the new way people enjoy TV.
My daughter and I decided a few weeks ago to watch this new show called Red Band Society. We enjoyed it so much that we watched all 10 episodes in 3 nights. We hope they bring it back for season 2
We enjoyed it so much we told at lease 15 other people who watched it and enjoyed it as much as we did. But once again not a Good thing for ratings. I think this is a show that would get momentum as time went on and more people talked about it.
If season 2 aires I think Fox would be nicely surprised.
Thank you for listening.
