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?
SO disasppointed! I was really waiting for this show to come back on. GREAT cliff hanger and plot. This show actually made you think , and I really enjoyed it as a breath of fresh air with so much garbage tv out there. Wish they would reconsider the decision.
great show im so mad its canceled i recorded it because of my schedule but i was waiting for the next season, im so mad that they left us on that cliff hanger without finishing the story. it should come back! #devastated
The show was really good i just hope they make season 2 im really looking forward to see it
Loved the show, totally made me think, like most everyone said, ridiculous reality shows stay on….
This show was amazing and had such a great plot. Its sad these kinds of shows cant stay on yet shows like jersey shore and sixteen and pregnant do its just sad.
in case you don’t know … this is why good shows get canceled. Its stupid but it is the way they do it.

loved the show… but as others said: stupid shows stay on… shows that make you think get canceled
whoever decided to cancel this show is an idiot. there are many of us who actually like to use our brain when watching programs, and not just be fed crap like Devious Maids.
Seems like anytime there is a show that show promise or allows people to think, they cancel it — and leave crap like Devious Maids. We are not idiots.
I saw it i loved it and now i am dissapointed! This was a Great First season, Even if it got Boring Sometimes it always hat some Action in it. Thats sad…
I absolutely loved this tv show. I wasn’t able to watch it on days of the new episodes but I always recorded it and watched it on my spare time. This is very disappointing since I was excited to see the next season. I hope it comes back on.
I loved the show and I loved “those who kill” too on LMN which was also cancelled
Really?!?! I was hooked! Just my luck it was canceled. I’m was really looking forward for season 2! I guess I have to delete it from auto record on my dvr.
Bad decision to cancel this series. Why do we only keep silly sit-coms, or reality shows…..not to mention talent competition. The acting was exceptional!
I dont understand how you can just cancel a great show and leave you wondering what will happen. I recorded it watched all of them. I have been waiting for it to return.
I liked the show I definitely think it had more potential then the outcome. I should have wrote the show. I had ideas the whole season that would have made it more edge of your seat exciting. Just email me and I will finish the story for you.
