As expected, there won’t be a second season for Lifetime’s future drama, The Lottery. The cable channel has cancelled the TV series after one season of 10 episodes.
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 show premiered in July to 1.08 million viewers but lost more than 30% of its viewers in week two and the numbers kept sliding downward as the season progressed. The finale, which aired on September 28th, drew just 425,000. The season averaged 670,000 viewers, a far cry from Devious Maids’ 1.81 million average.
What do you think? Did you like The Lottery TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I would’ve loved to see a second season plus more of this show. I’m super sad that it got cancelled.
Hate that The Lottery isn’t returning; really enjoyed the show. Left us hanging!
I loved this show very unhappy to hear you are not renewing it!
I loved the lottery it showed a piece of human nature that we don’t usually get to see I want a second season
Renew it!! Gd story gd actors.. very very intertaining” season 1 left off a cliffhanger? Renew series at least make A 2 hr movie ÖuT of this really gd show’
Agreed. I would love to see it wrapped up at least.
Enjoyed the show and would watch a second season. It was good but not fantastic. It probably experienced the same problem of all first year shows in that a large number of viewers don’t watch a new show because they think it may be canceled and don’t want to get to like it then be disappointed. Ironically this means ratings are not great the first year which leads to a show being canceled. How do they count ratings anyway. I DVR everything I watch (except sports) because of the numerous commercials, or I watch it On Demand or online if… Read more »
Please ask Lifetime to rethink and renew the show. We loved it! Recorded so we could watch when we could. Who shall I contact to petition for them to bring it back. Do you think it will do any good to whine? The government/s are likely capable of this someday I think… Bring it back!
Got much better as the season progressed.
Bring back for season 2, PLEASE!!!!!
Was quiet good ..got more and more better with every episode..Think second season would have been real good! ;(

I’m very disappointed! I loved that show! I can’t understand how such a great show lost so many viewers.
Everyone must have really as I was because I just watchet the first one on dvr that i had on there and I’m very upset there’s know more to watch hopefully I can get it the library. .please let it be there I loved what got to see
Really disappointed that the lottery got cancelled. It’s one of the few that I looked forward to seeing the next episode. There must be some kind of schedule problem, I just hate to see it go.
I just downloaded all of season one. Not the best but The way season one left off, done right with a couple new good actors to add to the good side I think season two could be better than the first.
Right I’m upset I like it.a lot maybe I’ll get it the library
really good show just needed the time necessary to build up the audience. Dumb move to cancel
