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 tv show must be kept on going!
So hard to find a tv show like this. Gonna be totally frustrated if they cancel it. F0X should give more time and maybe market this show smarter.
Bet It’ll grow with triple viewers in the future. Best show for now. People are hooked with Lucifer!
I think it’s one of the best shows on at this time. Fun, entertaining, and Lucifer’s character is excellently played. A great characterization that draws you into the show. You can’t help but like him, in spite of who he’s supposed to be.
KEEP IT!!!
Lucifer gives me something to look forward to on a boring Monday night! Love the story plot with its little twists. It has me cheering on for the devil!
I will definitely keep it! Ever since I began watching it, got hooked with the series. I remembered watching the trailer last year but forgot when it was going to be released and found out the same day was released and ever since can’t wait for next Monday every episodes finishes. I believe is a great drama series and completely different from what is showing right now. I hope it gets renewed!
DO NOT CANCEL this show!! This is yet again another great show that should be given a chance. It shows an evil person showing signs of changing to become a better person. Which I would rather watch over the shows where bad evil people getting away. For once, keep this show on, the One Million Moms group can watch something else.
If the sheep are against it, I am for it.
Love this show!! Really hope to see a second season.
KEEP LUCIFER!! LOVE IT -LOVE TOM ELLIS. QUIT CANCELLING HIS SHOWS. Their a spoof verging on satire with brilliant delivery. XoXo AHUGANDABIGLIPPRINT
Wow! The best show on T, in my opinion: funny, arresting , meaningful, interesting. More please!
Keep the show! it teaches you the meanings of Emotion, Partnership & History Of Religion. Wouldn’t the religious groups want ppl to learn that, or the things they only wanna teach us? This show is an art, only an idiot can not see that!
Is an awesome show, i enjoy watch it, as a new theme is interesting, different point of view. In which I understand we can change our behave, based in morals not into religious basis, most of the people may disagree because they are so close mind to understand that there are other people who are not sharing the religious view. I vote for this tvshow to keep going…
That’s my point of view too!
At last a sexy smart show. Better than the X files
Plus Tom Ellis is so dang sexy!! Please don’t cancel the show. You’ll be losing some very loyal fans.
I’d say keep the show. I thought it would be just another stupid supernatural/crime show but it’s actually really good. It’s got a certain charm to it. I always look forward to it every week.
I love the show. It’s fun to watch the chemistry between Chloe and Lucifer. He’s learning about relationships, especially his feelings for her and the fact that he even has feelings for her and humanity. It’s nice to see his character grow.
