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?
It is a very good show, can’t wait to see who Mom is…Please keep this show
Defiantly keep the Lucifer! It’s an awesome show that I and my boyfriend are now addicted to! We use the fox app on my phone to watch the show and normally wait till the weekend after it has been out…not sure if that affects the ratings but if so then I’m sure a lot of viewers do that as well. I find it much more convenient since I’m busy week days and nights. But Fox should defiantly push for a 2nd season! I personally think that religious groups whom don’t approve shouldn’t not be able to discontinue the show. Had… Read more »
Great case. Have loved this show and not missed a single episode. Keep it for another season.
Love the show. Can’t wait for the second season.
KEEP! Being a Brit myself and from Chesterfield, which is just south of Sheffield and where Tom Ellis is from (no, I’m not a stalker, I’m merely a fan of his and the show). Kudos to the cast as well!, they really make the show as well! 🙂
Great show good cast like the humour and drama the type of show you can take to different directions
Great!!!! Love the cast and even love the storyline even more. Do not cancel!!!!
Love it at first I was skeptical but after watching became a huge fan, the guy that plays Lucifer is spectacular story is fun and exciting must see if you like crime dramas. Get over the reasons your not watching it’s a new day and age open your mind and enjoy
Its a great show, pure entertainment.very funny. The negative people are reading way too much it.
I like the show and want it to be renewed.
Love the show and can’t wait for season two. I think that FOX needs to keep it since there doesn’t seem to be too many interesting series on now.
I love the show, got in on it in the middle of the series and can’t wait for season two.
I have enjoyed this series and sure hope it continues for at least another season. It comes on the same time as another show I’ve been watching longer (Scorpion) so I always tape it and watch it later. Tell those uptight people to just watch something else if they don’t like it!
I am now invested in the characters, please keep Lucifer on.
PLEASSSSSSSSE KEEP LUCIFER ON!!!!!!!!!!!!
