THR got a chance to sit down with Fox's president of entertainment Kevin Reilly and get an inside look at what the fate of some of this seasons shows might be, of course we are most interested in what was said about Human Target.
Reilly: Unfortunately, our launch got all dumbed up on that. We started by getting screwed on the big football lead-in we were supposed to have on the launch night, then we had to double play it, and then the president bumped us from the time period. It was really all over the place the first four weeks. I keep hearing people say they like it, and I have my hunches that it's settling at 8 and is going to get hit by daylight-savings time, so I don't think the story is going to be in the numbers. But by the end of that run, we may end up with the perception that this is kind of an overperformer. I've believed from the get-go that there's something there, so that's a show I'd like to bring back next year.

While having strong suporters at network level is always a major plus for a shows fate. In the end it always comes down to the numbers. The real test will be in how the numbers hold up after the two week break. Will fans return or has something else sparked their attention?
I'm afraid.
Human Target is a really awesome show. Well written, great acting and kickass action, but we all know FOX has a nasty habit of cancelling programs without giving them a chance (pardon the pun). (Firefly, Keen Eddie, Harsh Realm, Roar, etc...)
i would gladly expect season 2 for Human Target.
Well, with the end of 24, i think FOX can make HT the new 24... I Love the show and hope for a 24ep season 2... This season was too shor, did u think that too?
Season 1 of Human Target was better than I ever expected. We are completely hooked and need a season 2. Although we DVR as we work too late to catch live, we never miss an episode and will be very disappointed if there is no season 2. Come on Fox, this is a winner....
It's my new favorite show. Please, please don't cancel it.
PLEASE, OH PLEASE keep Human Target on Fox. Ever since I saw the "Pilot" episode of Human Target, I liked it and watched it every Wed., so PLEASE make a season 2.
Human Target was one of the shows that has caught my attention and I hope many others. If FOX doesn't let them make a season 2 of Human Target then they are r-tards, and should be submitted in the r-tard of the year award. Human target is one of the few shows that isn't a cop, or lawyer, or doctor show and actually catches your attention. It has a excellent cast that all compliment each other very well, which is rare these days. To it would be tragic if FOX doesn't air another season would be an understatement.
I hope it comes back!!!
Im tired of the shows I really like getting dumped before the season is over or not being re-newed. I seriously hope that Human Target returns for a second season. PLEASE! Im beggin on my knees!
I would expect a season 2 from how the first season ended, but you never really know with television shows. Any way I hope they make a season 2.
Great show! I am eagerly looking forward to season 2!
This show needs to return with a second season as McG has produced yet another brilliant action/comedy program!!!
Will there be one, as they need the boss winston back
I hope after canceling 24 this could be the replacement for that show because it is awesome. Good characters, cool conversations, girls and a little bit MacGyver style. A Must Have!
Human Target is an excellent series. The cast is outstanding. I stop breathing while watching....most of the time because each episode is pretty thrilling. Advertise it better and please continue this great series.....it's one of the best ina long time. Far better than 24..I just could never get into that series.
Thak you
What a great show! I loved him on Boston Legal and here he is again, only even better. We stumbled on it only by chance (pun) on episode 8. Where can I watch the first 7 episode? I have recorded all the ones I have so I can watch them this summer again. PLEASE, PLEASE renew the show. He is great and the writing is supurb. Dont lose those writers. Sandy JJ
Hope that Human Target comes back. It's great compared to the alternatives.
Indeed, it's not 24 or Burn Notice (Yeay, thank goodness, BN is back for seasons 4, 5, & 6), but it's a wonderful, entertaining, and feel-good alternative to 24, much like Burn Notice.
I would really like to see Human Target brought back. I dont watch football, and it was one of those action shows that had something to make you enjoy the link from show to show. Please bring it back. The actors were very good and enjoyable to watch. Thanks.
I really enjoyed season 1 of HT!! Every episode was a joy. I want to see more, a lot more of it, so please don't cancel it....
REALLY hope Human Target comes back for a second season as all my family and friends watch it and love it! I was also happy to have it viewable online in case I might have to miss an episode. However, I got lucky and never missed an episode of season 1.
