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?
Keep it please! If the following can get renewed for a second season, why can’t this one? Other than walking dead, this is the only show I watch live.
KEEP IT!! I LOVE THIS SHOW!
Keep keep keep!!! Please! Fox do something good and keep it!
Keep it. There are a lot of shows that were cancelled in their prime and developed a devoted following, such as firefly, down the road. I love, besides I want to know more about the wall, and why there is a wall. There are so many unanswered questions. In addition, I know people who watch very little tv, and Almost Huam is one of the few tv shows they will watch on a regular basis.
Keep it please!! I think the relationship between DRN and Kennex is hilarious and sweet. Especially when DRN sings…so funny. One of my favorite new shows! I will be sad if it is cancelled.
you need to keep this show going, it is great!!!!
Keep the show!! It’s funny, has good stories and good characters. Plus, my husband and I love Sci Fi shows and there aren’t many on these days. Been looking for it the last couple of weeks and didn’t even know it had its season finale already. We need more episodes for sure!
Please keep this show! Have watched from beginning – great cast, good sci-fi show since Fringe is done. Give it a chance, please!!!!!
I never bother to say anything about TV shows because they are usually BAD. But Almost Human is interesting in it’s look at a possible future, funny and “human” in that all the characters are “real” with hang-ups and ongoing issues that effect their everyday lives (even the android has lingering issues!). This, and much more, make it worthy of another season. Come on people (execs in charge), have a little faith and most of all, patience! AH’s fan base will only grow (and not just among the techie fans out there). The story lines are well written with morale… Read more »
Keep it going, I really like this show. Good humor and language isn’t too bad like many of the TV shows today. Can’t people communicate without profanity?
Love show. Innovative! Hi-Tech! Keep show!
Don’t cancel!!! Love this show!!!
Please don’t cancel…a fresh look at the future and the humor here is wonderful. Love the cast…renew!!!

Great Sci-fi show. Strong acting all around, great stories, intriguing characters with unlimited potential. Hopefully Fox has learned something from its “Firefly” debacle!
Keep it on! Great show!
