This evening marks the season finale of Almost Human on FOX. Will it also be the last episode? Should this sci-fi series be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Almost Human takes place in the future and follows the partnership of a distrustful cop (Karl Urban) and an android who’s capable of emotion (Michael Ealy). The cast also includes Minka Kelly, Mackenzie Crook, Michael Irby, and Lili Taylor.
The show debuted on a Sunday in mid-November and drew a 3.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 9.18 million total viewers. It was a very healthy start, thanks in part to the fact that it had an NFL game as a lead-in. The numbers dropped more than 26% for episode two on the following night.
Over the course of the season, Almost Human’s ratings have been on the decline and now seem to have settled around a 1.6 in the demo with about 5.5 million viewers. That’s a far cry from its premiere.
While the show’s chances for a renewal could certainly be better, they could be worse too. Overall, the FOX schedule is in pretty sorry shape so that could spell good news for Almost Human. They’ve had lousy luck with new shows and some older shows have lost a lot of steam so the execs may be hesitant to cancel this one.
The decision will likely come down to how confident they feel about the network’s new dramas but I suspect Almost Human will get a 13 episode renewal for next year.
But, what do you think? Do you like Almost Human on FOX? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Renew it! It’s one of my favorite shows!
For sure almost Human should be left intact. Some shows take some time to build a true audience, and besides, very few TV shows have the potential for growth in characters and stories. This show has excellent chemistry between the two main actors and the ensemble of the show fills in the picture. All of the characters will develop to a more satisfying delivery of interest to the current audience and then to future viewers if given some time. ..
I would love to get more. I love this show, it has the kind of bromance that is quite adorable.
Love the actors and I think there is so much more to be told in this story.
If they cancel this show, it will be Firefly all over again!
PLEASE don’t cancel Almost Human! Love the show. So much potential with the idea of Dorian.
It’s a great show my whole family watch every Monday. It should be renewed!
I hope it is renewed they need to give things a shot to succeed
