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?
Can;t wait for next season
I think Madeleine Stowe would be GREAT for the role of Lucifer’s Mother I have watched her on Revenge & she is an Awesome actress she has beauty, talent & can be nasty or nice when she wants to be I think she would blend in w/the other cast members perfectly so this is my opinion
I love the show Lucifer, I watch and record every episode. Please keep it running it’s one of the better shows I’ve seen in a very long time. It’s great, exciting and nefariously enjoyable to watch.
Awesome! Bring It Back Definitely Keep This Show On The Air!
I agree – Lucifer is the best show on TV at this time. It’s a mix of delightful playfulness, charming irreverence, some crime solving (which always seems to fascinate us viewers) plus a few semi-religio themes discussed along the way and enjoys a witty repartee which Tom Ellis and cast do a great job of bringing alive.
Am disappointed to hear the ratings have gone down and would love to know how to send my positive rating to the studio. Any ideas?
What!!!!!!!!!!!!! No it can’t be! I love the Lucifer episodes! Why it has no plans after 13th episode! Seriously, the cancellers of the show don’t even care of the series viewers!!!!! I Want Lucifer Back! :-/
Relax fellow fan! Fox has announced season 2.
Lucie is the best show on tv right now. I really hope they do not cancel it!
Watched Season 1 Finale WOW alot I didn’t expect to happen was very surprised with the ending me & my GF didn’t guess who escaped HELL ! Shocked when we found out who it is . Can’t wait to see Season 2 Love Tom Ellis Great Cast ! Yay Yay
I don’t think anyone saw that one coming. But Mom must be pretty formidable if her prison door also has chains on it. No wonder Luci is afraid of her.
Please, please keep this show!! I love it!!
Everything with good that is intelligent and good gets cancelled. But we still have the bachelor… Really!!!!!
I Love this show , the cast is great, they totally pull it off. I look forward to seeing this every Monday , well written and funny.
Love this show and one of the few that I will continue to watch. Tom Ellis is charming, and his character has an incredibly wicked irreverent sense of humor. I thoroughly enjoy this show and hope that execs will see fit to keep it on the air.

As a practiceing Roman Catholic, I love this show!! It’s different, makes you laugh, and want to know what will happen next week. As a Christian, if you’re firm in your belief, you have no reason to fear this “show”. Those who are not sure that they believe in their faith are the ones who want this show off the air. IJS.
