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.
2/13 update: FOX has renewed Lucifer for a third season. Details here.
5/30 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
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 want it renewed
Renewed
I really think the ratings are wrong on Lucifer and Gotham. Almost everyone I know watch these shows. The episodes get better every wk. I’m glad they decided to renew both of the shows. Especially Lucifer
Wow, it seems like the ratings are crumbling, Fox managed to destroy another show.
Cancelled?!
apparently all opinions are not being sought for this or some of the other shows .
apparently not every one is being counted here for this or other shows
Love this show, please don’t cancel it. America needs it.
Lucifer is an awesome show and we look forward to watching it! Keep it ON!
Lucifer is THE best show, hands down, if they canceled it, that would be ********.
Love this show
Are you kidding? Lucifer is one of the greatest shows I have ever seen. After each episode I cry out loud for not being able to wait for another week. It is damn hard to even wait a week not mentoring what would happen to us if some producer jerks cancel it incase of its ratings?
Why the hell would you cancel Lucifer. It is the best show in ages. Its funny, sad exciting and worth at least another couple of seasons.
RENEW…I love watching the show!
RENEW!!! Great show, can’t wait each week for it play. SOOOO sick of shows being cancelled that I like. Gees if you start a show at least commit to 4 Seasons to give it a chance (it usually takes 2 to 3 yrs to get to Australia!). If you are not already watching PLEASE START PEOPLES. It has great acting, fabulous writing, funny and I think all the actors are perfect for their characters. Do not find any of them boring or unskilled. BEST SHOW ON TV!
