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?
Renew it! I find some episode so so , but it’s getting interesting.
Renew it!!!!! Love it so much!
Probably,one of the best shows on TV right now. You have to keep this show. I find the clever mix of the side stories with the main flow of the show is excellent. Gotta keep it!
My opinion, I watch it every week. I am 60 and think the concept is great.
Do not cancel this show, but take it forward more quickly. We as an audience like full flow and discloser.
NOOOOOOOO PLEASE DONT CANCEL~~!~~~~~~ I watched this wonderful show Firefly (old FOX series) that was cancelled too soon, I don’t want this to happen in Lucifer. I like the cop procedural + supernatural + snarky + religious theme. It is great and entertaining.

Fun show, creative, sexy, very funny, unique sets and always the hope that Lucifer will see the right way to go in his life- always that hope. Great new actors I’ve not before seen are great. I’m a Christian and can tell the difference between humor and a “message from hades”. Nothing wrong with this except a new and creative show. Please keep the episodes coming!
Please don’t cancel show I love it I want to see this series go all the way up to atleast 5more seasons it’s a great tv show
You know why they don’t want it to go on, don’t you…? You “humanize” Lucifer and you make him likeable, even for a bad guy/devil/whatever. That scares radical bible-types almost to their cores….they forget that it’s just fiction. This show, it brought me back from a 15 year absence from television. Oh, sure, i looked in every now and then but there wasn’t a lot to catch me attention. It’s fiction but a friend said to me (no joke), “It’s actually made me think about God”. How’s that for irony….a show about the devil making someone think about God? Somebody… Read more »
