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?
Awesome show ! Double entendre delight ! Plz renew maintain and keep it coming and oh Tom Ellis and cast easy on the eyes … And start publishing those playlists … Luv it ALL
I love this show and will be extremely disappointed if it is cancelled. I look forward to watching it each week. Mr. Ellis is perfect in the role of Lucifer and the rest of the cast is great. My favorite new show since the Blacklist premiered 3 seasons ago.
We great minds obviously think alike! – or is it that we seldom differ? sms
Everyone I’ve talked to loves Lucifer
I love it!
Keep it
Keep Lucifer show. The plot is thickening and the chemistry between the lead actors is great.
Religious objectors should watch it as it is really becoming a morality tale.
My husband really enjoys Lucifer.
I <3 Lucifer because it's so funny, I am christian but, this show is a nice take to monday tv. .PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE KEEP THE SHOW ON FOX……Thanks
Keep the show. Love it…
Please please don’t kill the show. It is amazing. It is still too early to cancel it and it has so much potential. Tom Elis brings the role into life. I have been watching since the beginning and every episode is better.
I like the show but the las 2 episode are to easy to see who is the killer is always the 1 person they talk after murder need to fix that or it will be to bored
We love this show! It’s funny yet dramatic at times. Tom Ellis is perfect as Lucifer and it gets more intense every week! We never miss an episode! I’ve learned more about the bible and the who “casting Lucifer out” then I ever did in church. I even find myself researching stuff on the internet about things after watching. This is a fabulous show and for those who think it’s wrong for kids to watch, why are they up? Also, it’s better than watching women get raped on SVU or any of the horrific murders on NCIS and all those… Read more »
Exactly.
I think this show is clever and entertaining… And I am religious. The spin on having the devil having Godly emotions is very interesting….especially this week’s episode with the priest.
KEEP IT! Ellis is fantastic!! It’s refreshing!
Lucifer is my friend and I favorite show, yes some things are corny, cheesy, and predictable, it makes us all the mor e entertained.
My husband and I absolutely love this show! Please don’t cancel! So many great shows get canceled (Stalked was one of them.) We look really forward to this show every week and have it set to record if we aren’t home to watch. I beg you! Don’t cancel!!! There is nothing wrong with this show and if people are letting their kids stay up that late and have it on that channel, then change the channel. Don’t take away the enjoyment of this series from people who love it. Easy solution, CHANGE THE CHANNEL or put your kids to bed!… Read more »
