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?
Where’s my comment? It was the truth.

keep the show it is better then the rest of the crap you have running,
People (Moms) need to chill out, don’t get all butt hurt and feel the need it should be taken down. If you don’t like it, don’t watch it. Against your religion, don’t watch it. Seriously calm down, this got way too far, I thought it was a joke about people signing a document online to cancel the show, like seriously? Just don’t watch it, don’t let your kids watch it. This is an amazing show, and Lucifer isn’t really a bad guy if you watch it, go do something else with your time besides trying to get attention to ruin… Read more »
Awesome show, central focus is that even Lucifer can change, and can turn over a new leaf.
Cancel it, this is an evil show. You all should stop watching this.
I’ll respond just as I did to another commenter who did this exact thing. I’m not putting you down. Of course, you have a right to your opinion. But to come to a board to ask a tv station to cancel a show other people enjoy is simply not cool.
Don’t watch it. That’s what I do with shows I don’t like. I stopped watching Scandal when I thought it had seriously jumped the shark. But I didn’t go to the network and tell them I thought it needed to be cancelled so it’s fans couldn’t watch it.
How about if you don’t like the show then stop watching it and quit trying to ruin other people’s entertainment. Lighten up!
