Lifetime’s new show The Lottery is focused on the survival of the human race. But, will this show survive to see a second season or will it be cancelled instead?
The Lottery takes place in the year 2025 when our planet is in the midst of a fertility crisis. Women can no longer bear children and the human race faces extinction. After years of research researchers have been able to fertilize 100 eggs and a lottery is held to determine who can carry them to term. The cast of this thriller includes Marley Shelton, Martin Donovan, Yul Vasquez, Athena Karkanis, Michael Graziadei, David Alpay, and Shelley Conn.
The series debuted on July 20th to 1.08 million viewers with a 0.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic. In week two, viewership dropped 33% but then regained some ground in week three. The most recent episode attracted just 620,000 viewers.
Because Lifetime has so few original scripted series, it’s difficult to know when they consider a series a failure. However, these numbers are quite low — about half of what Witches of East End has been pulling in. Drop Dead Diva was cancelled with much better numbers.
While Lifetime could choose to renew The Lottery for a second season, unless the ratings improve, it’s looking likely that it will be cancelled instead.
But, what do you think? Should The Lottery be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Pleaseee at least air a closing episode so us that actually watched it know what happens. We viewers deserve an ending not just to be left hanging! 🙁
my whole family injoys the lottery and has not missed a episode. It would be a shame to just cancle the show without a ending. That is why people like me get sick of watching new shows just to have them leave you hanging
Exactly! All the good shows cancel without a good ending! I was so intrigues by this. They need to at least make a movie ending
Please renew it. Best 1 ever.
I love the show how it isn’t cancelled I think it’s great didn’t miss an episode
A terrific show. Really unfair that the Lottery
Was cancelled when all these other sub par
Shows were renewed. At least let us have a season 2 so we can see
What happens. The Lottery was one of the
Few shows not to be renewed. Excellent premise, timely, relevant, good acting, I guess that is not enough. Please give it a second look.
Thanks. A devoted fan.
love the show! Renew it!
Love the show
Love this show. I keep checking to see if it’s back on. Looked forward to it. They can’t just stop it and leave us hanging.
Love this show. Was looking so forward to the next season.
Really like this show. This is a real brake from all the brain dead knuckle headed reality
shows.
I think there should be more seasons. The show is great and it’s way better than other shows out there.
I think there should be a second season of the lottery i thought it was a great show i watched it every week it was on. Always kept me at the end of my seat and couldn’t wait for it to come on the following week. There may not have many viewers but how do you know that it won’t make more for the second season.
I LOVED this show. Renew it!
Absolutely.. Amazing and intriguing
It’s fabulous! Renew it!!
I love this show! It keeps you guessing. No other show like it out there. RENEW!
