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 love the new show! It’s clever, edgy and refreshing. I love the break for the status quo. I endured years of going to Catholic school, so i deserve to finally be able to laugh at the experience. If people don’t like it, don’t watch it. It’s that simple. It’s all in good humor so people need to lighten up. KEEP IT
This one witty, intelligent show! Fox, please renew this series
Love it, new and different from all the other shows cop shows. Watch it every week!!! Plus Tom Ellis is an amazing actor love him ❤❤❤❤❤
Agreed. We don’t like or watch any cop shows. This is the only one that happens to include cops, but it’s more than that! It’s good vs evil and witty humor.
Lucifer is a thought-provoking show that’s helped me to realize that compassion and redemption are real Christian values. Please don’t cancel it.
Lucifer is definitely the best show on television right now. Please don’t cancel it.
Love this show. There’s nothing like it on TV. Look forward to watching it every week. Keep in on!
I’m in my mid 50’s and I find this show to be one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time. The actors are excellent and all the characters work well. Please don’t let Fox cancel.
