When Lucifer premiered in early 2016, many people wanted the show to be cancelled before they even saw it, at least in part because of the subject matter. While the show’s ratings weren’t great, they were good enough for the FOX series to be renewed. Will it do well enough to get a third season renewal? Stay tuned.
On the Lucifer TV show, Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis) has abandoned his throne and retired to Los Angeles. Following a brutal murder outside of his nightclub, he starts to have feelings of compassion for the first time in billions of years and ends up helping a homicide detective (Lauren German). In season two, Lucifer and his brother (D. B. Woodside) team up to find their mother (Tricia Helfer) who recently escaped from Hell. The rest of the cast includes Rachael Harris, Lesley-Ann Brandt, Kevin Alejandro, Aimee Garcia, and Scarlett Estevez.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

For comparisons: The first season of Lucifer averaged a 1.47 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.56 million total viewers (live + same day ratings).
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the Lucifer TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
I got a glims of Lucifer accidentally when I was watching another series. I’m watching Lucifer and like the show very much. Looking forward for a season 3!
I don’t normally like cop shows, but Lucifer’s is a fun show, not overly serious. I would like to see him ( Lucifer ) become a little more scary! Hope it has another season at least.
My boyfriend and I have been watching this on Netfix binges. Can’t wait for season 3!!!!
Excellent program our whole family sit down and watch it together, really hope they make Series 3

My favorite tv show. I cant wait for season 3.
This show does nothing to edify or entertain the viewer and should definitely be cancelled. If the cast/writers of Lucifer get upset then they are just getting a small taste of the real hell. Yawn….

My husband and i and his family absolutely love the Lucifer series! We are hooked! It needs to continue!!!
This is the most fun quirky show in a long time! Intelligent banter, great cast chemistry. Not a comedy, not a police show, not a paranormal weird show but a mesh of it all! Love it!!
A brilliant tv show with an engaging plot and wonderful characters. It is very thought-provoking too, especially with subjects like moral responsibility and good vs evil. Really funny as well, anyone who likes snarky characters will definitely likw this show. Definitely hoping for a new season.
