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?
After desperate housewives, this is the most interesting, dramedy-mystery show I have enjoyed in a long time! Hope they renew it!
Pls renew
Please renew, I love this show, please, please bring it back.
I Love Love Love Devious Maids, I look forward every week to see what’s happens next. I hope it’s not cancelled.
Please renew. Love this show!
please renew, love this show.
PLEASE RENEW! The show is so entertaining on so many levels. Gorgeous men and women. Fabulous sets and a costumer designer who just fills the screen with one stunning outfit after another. Four great lead actresses and the perfectly divine Rebecca Wiscocky. It is a pleasure to watch and I hope it will be back for Season Four.
Renew!!!!!!!
RENEW, RENEW….love this show its funny and quirky with a twist of WHO-DONE-IT!!! I love the cast!!!
Lifetime, sometimes you could be stupid canceling amazing shows. Instead of doing it without consulting the audience why don’t you be smart for once and have people vote for the end or continuation of a show? Huh? Don’t you think it’s smarter? Entertaining people’s opinions is the vertue of an educated mind. Got it champs?
YES! Renew renew renew!! This show is not like any other. Keep the show please!
Yes pls…renew that is. This show is funny and mysterious. I like the twists and turns but sometimes it doesn’t excite me as much as the last 2 seasons. I look forward to seeing it though, every episode. the writers need to step it up for the 4th season…pls give them another chance….
Lifetime you must renew this terrific show! The cast is awesome! Here is a thought, how about replacing Blanca, who was murdered off, with Kelly Osborn! She might be looking for work now and we know she is concerned about who was going to clean Donald Trumps toilets as she said on the View!!!
I love this show and hope it gets renew for another season. I would be very disappointed and surprise if it gets cancelled.
This show has replaced desperate housewives for me and it’s amazing…all the cast members are brilliant in their own ways…please do not cancel this show…I look forward to it every week…
Oh, I don’t want this to end either- LIke Dynasty ends with a cliffhanger so will Devious Maids and won’t renew after the Season Finale of 2015/ Lifetime will let us hang again for the renewal announcement. But why have it run in Summer And then Missing collaboration with some of the writing as it was previously announced is an issue for me. I really enjoy mostly all the Character actors especially Evelyn Poewll and Misses Spence, The Maid of Susan Lucci(Delatorre). I didn’t like the direction of how Season 3 came into play with Misssis Spense being in a… Read more »
