About Second Chance

Second Chance ended on May 7, 1988, on FOX. The show’s first and only season aired from September 26, 1987, to May 7, 1988. There are no upcoming episodes scheduled, and the series has concluded its run.

Second Chance was a comedy series that originally aired in 1987. It followed Charles Russell, who died but was given a chance to return to 1987 to help his younger self, Chazz, make better decisions at key moments in his life in hopes of reaching heaven. The series included a fantasy element where Charles was aided by St. Peter, but this aspect was dropped after a revamp in December 1987, and the show was renamed Boys Will Be Boys, removing the supernatural components.

The main cast featured Matthew Perry as Chazz Russell, Billy Gallo as Francis Lottabucci, Randee Heller as Helen Russell, Demian Slade as Eugene Blooberman, Kiel Martin as Charles Russell, and Joseph Maher as St. Peter. The series did not have a rated score on TVMaze and had a runtime of approximately 30 minutes per episode.
