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?
I have enjoyed Devious Maids from its inception. the acting is excellent, the actors are all exceptionally good-looking, the plots are terrific, this is the one show that I really look forward [to]. Season 4 …here’s hoping !!
this is one of the best show ever. producers should go ahead and DO NOT CANCEL. i am looking forward for season 4!!!!! i bet it is exciting…. “fingers crossed”
Please don’t cancel. I hope it gets renewed for Season 4.
I really, really hope it gets renewed for S4. Season 2 was not great, let’s face it. It dragged and to put it bluntly, just wasn’t very interesting. But Season 3 has made up for it and then some, making Season 2 seem like a far distant memory.
this season finale has to be the best one I have seen all season.PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW. Its the best summer show.
Hey Carole: You probably didn’t mean it this way it is really hard to comprehend what are you trying to say. Are you being sarcastic in saying this is the best season finale because it is the only season finale of course for DM? Or are you saying the finale episode of DM is the best of all the episodes of DM or that the season finale of Devious Maids is the best episode of any tv series this season.
can’t wait to see what happens! BRING IT BACK!
About the only show I really look forward to watching — Love this show– Please DON;T Cancel!!!
Me too. I love watching the show. I don’t really watch a lot of shows but this one I don’t miss. I love it.
Best show!!!. Please renew Devious Maids for forth Season!!!!!!! Love the show.
Totally agree. It is an “escapism” show; one for pure enjoyment to forget the world’s and your problems and challenges. But the ratings have dropped each Season by about a 1/3. It really needs its targets – the Hispanic community and women to start watching. The Latino community makes up a huge part of the American population if they could even increase viewership by say 500,000 there and another 200,000 ladies this show would be just fine. Its a vicious circle because part of the problem is that Lifetime takes so long to renew the show and then even longer… Read more »
Please it should NOT be cancelled. PLEASE RENEW!!!!
This is a great show to simply enjoy. I have no idea why the ratings are tanking. I hope they renew it. We all have many reasons for the shows fall from grace so to speak or not ding as well as we think it should. 1. It is an obscure cable network show 2. lack of publicity 3. moving from Sunday to Monday nites 4. The Hispanic community not really following hts show despite hispands 5. to limited appeal ie ladies, older slightly, an Hispanic 6 the best thing consistently said about this show are the Powells and Genevieve… Read more »
Please renew Devious Maids for another season!!!!!!!Here is my opinion is one things that weird about Devious Maids they try too much inmenticate Desperate Housewives that maybe why it”s circling down in they ratings they need to form there own way to have a successful show cause it”s getting so corny.& another move from Monday to Sunday at 10:00pm.More Quest stars accuring like from former Desperate Housewives.New writers.!!!!!!
