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?
Please keep Lucifer! I enjoy watching every week…I .even have it recorded so I dont miss any episodes! Thank you!
KEEP IT. Tom is a breath of very fresh air!
Keep the show!!!!!!! It’s amazing!! Tom Ellis nails this character!! Great storyline!! Guess what “One Million Moms” God gave us free will, so change the channel or block this show on you t.v. why don’t you spend more time watching your children instead of trying to get a show canceled. One mom to “one million moms”
Lucifer is ahead of typical TV, it is a leader. The only TV program that I never miss since I have discovered it on Fox. Incredible program, everything from the music, scenery, writing and scripts are (forgive the word) hip. Tom Ellis has that certain something like Sean Connery.
Please keep Lucifer. It’s charming and witty and something different and certainly those who protest can’t take it seriously it’s so obviously tongue in cheek
I hope the show is not canceled, I enjoy it. Please give it a chance.
I Love Lucifer, Please do not cancel the show! Tom Ellis is so good looking and funny. A Great actor. If they cancel the show please find another show for him to be in.
I absolutely love the show. I hope there are more seasons to come
Keep Lucifer. I really enjoy it
Why can’t they just move Lucifer to another channel or air at a later time. I really enjoy watching its funny, exciting and sexy.
Love it! Do not cancell it. Give it a chance.
No worries there is going to be s season 2….yay!!!
I love Lucifer, please don’t cancel this show. The character Tom has created (Lucifer) is pure magic. I can’t wipe the smile off my face from the moment the music starts for the show. My husband and I DVR it and watch late at night. Even my husband thinks Lucifer is gorgeous.
Lucifer is my guilty pleasure, please let me watch this beautiful hunk of man for years to come
How did you find that there will be a season 2? I’m super happy about this! I love the series and everything about it. The different interpretations about the biblical tales, the great acting, the plot and character developments, the overall writing, the show is superbly entertaining and thought-provoking!!!
Read it online that Fox has announced there definitely will be a season 2. Don’t remember the exact site. I just googled it and found out.
Totally should keep this series on Hulu… it is hilarious. Really LOL. Interesting.
I like the show very much, there’s no other show who can make me laugh with a simple but catchy phrases and humor, compare with other shows that has Indians on it? I hate ******* Indians, they’re one who should burn to hell! Anyhow, Lucifer is a great show and I don’t see anything that we may praise Satan or love him, it’s more of facts and fiction based stories 😀
