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 am 75 years old and really enjoyed the 1st season please continue with the second season
We LOVE LUCIFER! It’s great entertainment! We love his wit and how he sees things… realizing he is actually a good hearted being! KEEP LUCIFER!
I LOVE this show! Please keep it!!!!!!!
Awesome show and a cast of extremely talented actors that have great chemistry! So well-written and full of drama and comedy, the perfect mix. Tom Ellis was the perfect choice and plays Lucifer brilliantly. Looking so forward to the 2nd season. I cannot believe it might have been cancelled. The best new show of 2015 and the show I looked forward to watching the most. Please don’t cancel.
this is brilliant really are the christians really that well in control over there?
Great show, great cast
My two favorite shows, Lucifer and Scorpion. It’s hard to tell which I look froward to the most. The story, writing, and actors make it a captivating show. I’m definitely looking forward to the 2nd season, and hopefully, many more to come.
I absolutely LOVE the show, Lucifer! It is such a great and intriguing story line. The characters were casted spot on, and of course “Lucifer” is absolutely gorgeous! His accent and witty comments keep me zoned in the entire show and wishing it lasted longer. I can’t wait for the 2nd season!
My family just loves this show and we are waiting impatiently for season two, so KEEP the series going,PLEASE!
KEEP LUCIFER SERIES GOING! My family is waiting for season two as well, we love the show.
KEEP THE LUCIFER TV SHOW ON!!!! Geezzzzz, if you don’t like it, don’t watch it. If you don’t watch it, then there’s nothing to complain about. I think it’s funny and witty and my family loves to watch it too. GET OVER YOURSELVES!!! It’s not about you…it’s about me and what I want to watch. 🙂
Keep the series PLEASE! My entire family is waiting on pins and needles for September! It can’t come soon enough.
And please, don’t listen to those few religious nut cases and that million mom group that want to ban it! You know that proves they are all about controlling everyone else to their standards. Last I checked I lived in a free country.
I am a 57 yr old woman and I dearly love the actors, the script is well written and the photography and effects are stunning! Prime entertainment!
Lucifer is my favorite tv show, just before supernatural.
The show Lucifer was awesome. I watched every week and looked forward to the drama. I would like the show to continue. Just DO IT!
We LOVE the show!! Already looking for season 2 to start. Please, please, please do not cancel the show. Really would like to see many more seasons.
