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?
What is wrong with these people – shows like this are GOOD and need to be renewed – but it seems all the rage these days is reality TV (BORING). We need good ScFi like this and others to keep going?
I really enjoy this show so much and would be really disappointed to see it end…the premise of the show is so fresh and unique, I looked forward to it every monday. Keep it going please Urban kicks ass
I agree with everyone. There is great chemistry between the characters and the stories are interesting. There isn’t much scifi on TV and I am sick of reality shows. I really hope they keep it.
Fox should keep it on,
PLEASE RENEW!!! There is so little worth watching on TV anymore, we were excited to find a Sci-Fi drama with great characters and fascinating story lines. The chemistry between John and Dorian has depth, humor and a dark edginess. We really look forward to seeing what the writers come up with next; cosmetic surgery using DNA from murdered donors, would not have seen that coming. Almost Human is creative, intelligent, humorous, dramatic, an almost sure combination to get cancelled, but we really hope not.
Why is it that the tv stations drop the good shows & keep the stupid shows like the stupid reality shows that are so fake it isn’t funny & like the damn, Voice and all the damn sing shows…. But almost human didn’t get alot of commercial time plus Tv stations need to learn not to be in compatition with other stations all the time. When they first put almost human on Mondays & moved Bones to a different day. We stopped watching. Most people have certain shows that they watch on each day. Just like me & my husband.… Read more »
Keep it around. It’s nice to have a network show that actually makes you think even while entertaining you. It is refreshing not to be insulted by the a show’s script.
Keep this show around given half a chance it could be the next X Files
Love this show, please don’t take it away!!
RENEW! PLEASE! This is the ONE show that combines intelligence and wry humour with REALLY INTERESTING plots! The characters interact WELL, the men are masculine and the women are terrific, good potiential! Come on FOX ADVERTISE! EDUCATE PEOPLE about the wonders of this show! Honestly if you are going to compete with the intelligence of the BBC you MUST KEEP this program! Or, perhaps Almost Human should just move to the BBC! Can you do that? Yes TV programming is set at a grade 4 level in general (the voice…and other fluff or “reality” shows for people with a pathetic… Read more »
