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?
Very good show. Just finished season one. Didn’t get to watch while it was on air. Definitely should have been renewed
I liked the show i thank you should bring it back
Please bring this series back. I have to agree with the others that not enough advertisement and wrong time. I feel you should try it again at different time and it will be sure Lifetime brought our show back…. You must watch it!
I really wished they didn’t cancel The Lottery. It was a great tv show. Me and my other half really enjoyed it. we did not miss an episode. I was really hoping for a season 2 because I really wanted to know what was going to happen next. If anyone will get there fertility back!… I hope this helps. I think it didn’t get as much views because maybe people didn’t know about it or possibly that it aired at a unfortunate time. Please try it one more time. At least for us who wants so bad to know what… Read more »

Me and my friends cannot get over the cancellation of this series it was promising we loved the way it was going it’s a real bomber I think that you should at least create a finale.

Why was the show “The Lottery” cancelled? This was a really great show! What happened?
There wasn’t enough tv viewers.
I Want to know what happens? Why is there no season 2 for the lottery? I love this show.
i loved that show and was eager for the new season …
What was the reason for canceling this show. This show really drawed my attention and I was in love with it. I wish you all would bring it back because many people like this show including me and I want to see what happened I season two because I personally think it was unnecessary for “The Lottery” to be canceled. I was really looking forward to the next season but I guess not.

I LOVED this show!! I was so looking forward to season 2! 🙁
Why do these tv channels keep cancelling great programmes without giving them a fair chance? This is an excellent programme, maybe Netflix could pick it up like they did with Longmire.I thought other series like Do no harm , The event and Firefly were excellent but dropped like hot bricks .
Are you kidding me? This was a great TV show and I was really looking forward to what happened in season 2. Why do they keep cancelling great shows? They should have had more advertising for this, I stumbled across it accidentally and was hooked
