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?
“Lucifer” is a really great show. Keep it please

This is the best show on any network. Can’t get enough of Lucifer. Makes you want to rethink being a “good” person. What a hot, sexy guy. Can’t wait to see who will be playing “Mum”…..

I LOVE this show. I think it would be a monumental mistake to cancel it.
Keep it. Very good show and certainly better that most of the other boring shows on cable tv. If fact, might be the only series I’ve watched on cable in the last year.

It is unique, Keep it on.

Keep it. Or create something for Tom Ellis that is worthy of his talent.
he has an ability to portray “emotion” and make you feel it.
Please do not cancel the Lucifer series. The script is very creative and exciting, not to mention the quality of the actors. I’m a religious person, but I don’t feel threatened by the content of the program. The series is thought provoking and pokes fun at standard beliefs. I hope the show can continue. I love it!!!!!
