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 thoroughly enjoy Lucifer. It’s a real hoot and people should not take it so seriously and be so critical. Please keep it going.
This is a surprisingly interesting and entertaining show. it had become gripping and fascinating. The actor playing Lucifer is mesmerizing as he struggles with the complexities of human emotions. I really want to see how they continue to develop this story.
I would like to see the show get a second season. I think it’s still finding its feet and I should like to see it given every chance to take off running.
We love the show and don’t miss an episode. We find the content thought provoking and have family discussions about it following each episode. We go to church regularly and have even gotten one of our pastors hooked. It would be a shame not to see more.
Totally a keeper! Those million moms can simply choose to not watch it! Its clever, funny, and a good cop show!
I totally agree with you!!!!!!!!
Ok my wife and I never get time together to just relax and watch a show that we both agree on! She makes time for this show and we talk to the TV set like we are there! Keep it going and we will watch! What chemistry between those two!!!
Please don’t cancel! This is a great drama show and funny. It’s no different from any other tv show these days.
Very well written and engaging. I can’t get enough of this show. I hope to see a second season.
Keep the show I like it all lot. I think it has a lot of possibilities and directions it can go. Don’t cut it.
Great cast and great writers! Hoping for a second season!
I enjoy the show. The last show with Lucifer’s encounter with the priest was very good. I loved the line from the priest to Morningstar that God may not be through with him yet as he questions Gods actions.
I am loving this show! It is wicked fun and has real potential. Great ENTERTAINMENT! As for One Million Moms trying to control what the rest of the world gets to watch…if you find it offensive-simply DON’T WATCH IT.
no dont cancel it best show around at present love the story and is very well scripted keep lucifer and make a second season.. keep it going
I absolutely love this show! Original, catchy and at all what I expected! Would love to see how this evolves.
Great show. Please keep it.
