The second season of Devious Maids’ saw a big drop in the ratings and fell about 30% when compared to the first season. Have the numbers rebounded in season three? Will this Lifetime series be cancelled or renewed for a fourth year?
Devious Maids revolves around a group of Latina maids who work in the homes of wealthy and powerful families in Beverly Hills. The large cast includes Ana Ortiz, Dania Ramirez, Roselyn Sánchez, Judy Reyes, Edy Ganem, Tom Irwin, Rebecca Wisocky, Brianna Brown, Brett Cullen, Grant Show, Susan Lucci, Drew Van Acker, Naya Rivera, Gilles Marini, Nathan Owens, Ivan Hernandez, and John O’Hurley.
Season three kicked off on June 1st of this year and attracted a 0.53 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.465 million viewers. Compared to the second season’s premiere, that was down by more than 25%. The numbers didn’t get much better as the season progressed.
Thus far, this season of Devious Maids has been averaging a 0.46 demo rating with 1.32 million. That’s down by more than 25% year-to-year and obviously not a good sign for the show’s future. (Season one averaged 0.89 in the demo with 2.53 million.)
UNReal was recently renewed for a second season with about half as many viewers while The Lottery and Witches of East End were both cancelled last year.
Will Devious Maids be renewed for a fourth season? I suspect it will because, despite the serious declines in viewership, it’s still their highest-rated scripted series — and they only have two left. The drama also fits well with their brand and has high-profile names (Desperate Housewives’ Marc Cherry and Eva Longoria) attached to the series. While that won’t ensure the show’s future forever, I suspect it will be enough for now.
But, what do you think? Do you like the Devious Maids TV show? Do you think that it should be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
Devious Maids is a winner in my home. Even my husband gets a kick out of it. We watch very few shows but this one we never miss. Gives us a welcome relief from stress…entertaining, funny and witty. We vote for season 4!
Please do not cancel this program. It’s one of my favorite programs.
Love the cast. I look forward to see what’s gonna happen next.
I have watched this program every season. I would like to see the program continue

The show is great, please don’t cancel it.
I look forward to Monday nights just for this show.
The cast is wonderful and the story lines are intriguing!
I am hoping this show does not disappear from the canvas. It’s sometimes serious, more often comical and just so fun to watch. I love the cast and adore the place this show takes me to. Far away from my own problems for sure. It will be missed by this viewer if it ends up on the cutting room floor.
Let’s keep Devious Maids alive. Any Suggestions?

I have faithfully watched every episode from the beginning. I enjoyed Season 1 very much, but I am sorry to say I think the writing and quality of this show are both way down. The characters have become predictable stereotypes, and the plotlines are plain ridiculous. These maids aren’t devious, they’re just idiots. I’m ready for this to be wrapped up. To be honest, I wish Witches of East End had been saved last season and this show cancelled. Witches was at least more entertaining.
