A new dramatic TV series on FOX, Lucifer created a bit of an uproar before it even premiered. The One Million Moms group wants the show to be cancelled and some religious people feel the same way. That’s not likely to have an effect on the show’s future but the ratings sure will. How’s the Lucifer TV show doing? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
On the Lucifer TV show, Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis) has abandoned his throne and retired to Los Angeles. Charming, charismatic and devilishly handsome, he’s enjoying his retirement while owning a nightclub. His bliss is disturbed when a beautiful pop star is brutally murdered outside of his club. He starts to have feelings of compassion for the first time in billions of years and ends up helping a homicide detective (Lauren German). The rest of the cast includes Lesley-Ann Brandt, Kevin Alejandro, Rachael Harris, D. B. Woodside, and Scarlett Estevez.
The series debuted in January to a 2.43 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 7.16 million viewers. That was a very positive start, especially considering the state of the rest of FOX’s drama series.
In week two, the ratings fell to a 1.95 in the demo and 6.0 million viewers, a decline of nearly 20% in the demo. The numbers have essentially kept falling lower each week (though there was a slight bump upward in week seven). Last week’s installment, episode eight, hit a new low in the ratings and hit a 1.21 in the demo and 3.86 million.
The eight episodes have averaged a 1.63 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.08 million viewers.
The rest of the FOX schedule is in poor shape so it’s currently the network’s third-highest rated drama of the season (behind Empire and The X-Files). That may be enough to secure Lucifer a second season but it’s very concerning that the series continues to lose viewers. That may be enough to sink the series. We’ll likely have to wait until May to find out for sure.
But, what do you think? Do you like the Lucifer TV show? If you ran the network, would you cancel or keep it?

I agree with everyone, why mess with perfection. What really boils my blood is that all these people complaining, let their children watch the walking dead. Talk about giving your kids nightmares, get a clue….. That’s what I call, calling the kettle black…I say keep the show, I love it…
Please keep this show, I love it and watch it every week. If Lucifer was gone I will not have anything to watch on Monday night please keep it!!!!
I would keep the show. I am a Christian and I watch it. It is a spoof on religion. There is nothing real about it ! I watch Television to take me away from the real world. The people that don’t like this show probably watch all the reality shows. Give it a break people. Have you forgotten what fantasy is !!!!
I am a 15 year old girl who love romance and so haplens to love the show Lucifer! Season three is supposed to come out on my birthday and I would like to keep it that way thank you! Keep the show!
I say we keep the show Lucifer. My grandma is christian and she likes the show. I enjoy it as well. I enjoy the complexity of the plot and think Lucifer and Chloe have good symmetry together. That’s just my opinion.
As far a I’m concerned the show should be cancelled. Watched a few episodes and was interested. Then the star became like a bumbling Clouseau. You would think that Lucifer was smart but alas he is an idiot. Stopped watching after a few episodes.
I absolutely love the show and Lucifer. Omg how sexy can you get.I think I watch it just for him and I’m a grandmother.
ONE OF THE FUNNIEST SHOWS IVE SEEN IN YEARS ITS A KEEPER
Please don’t cancel Lucifer! I really love this show!
Il faut que Lucifer continue c’est à se damner cette série est trop divertissante trop joli svp ne l’arrêtez pas
People need to email/contact Fox to fight for this show.
KEEP KEEP KEEP! Lucifer needs more PROMOTION from Fox. I think some people mistake it for a show about the occult or evil = this is an excellent cast and show that needs to be promoted and kept alive until viewers can get hooked. These days it takes people a long time to get into a show just look at NCIS which ended up w soaring ratings AFTER reruns of prev seasons ran in syndication on USA channel. Other shows have similar stories of ratings jump only after many seasons have aired.
Definitely keep it! It hss drama fact finding and awesome love story.
Please don’t cancel. Lucifer…. We love the show
please keep the awsome show lucifer and many more to come
