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 am sort of obsessed with the show Puleeeeeeze don’t cancel
Cancel cancel cancel it it’s a Dreadful show and I wouldn’t watch it if it was the last show on television please take it off
I’m not replying to put you down. You certainly have a right to your opinion. Simply don’t watch the show. But to go to a board to demand a network cancel a show other people enjoy is simply not cool.
I stopped watching Scandal some time ago because I thought they went too far from the original core of the show. But I didn’t go to the network and demand they remove it so other people can’t watch it.
Keep Lucifer. I’m hooked!
I hope FOX keeps this show! I love the cast and I’m really enjoying the development of the plot. Please renew Lucifer!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Keep Lucifer – it is so clever, the dialog is funny – I love it. It reminds me of Supernatural – equally as fun and entertaining. KEEP LUCIFER!
My new favorite show. The cast is perfect
I love the show! Don’t cancel it. Why don’t they take into account people to stream it online through Hulu etc.
I really like Lucifer. I don’t think it is as evil as people probably think. In faact I think it is a drama/comedy. I really really hope they keep it on.
