"Devious Maids" Season 4 recently concluded with an unexpected cliffhanger, but fans and viewers are wondering whether this cliffhanger will ever be resolved through a Season 5. Lifetime has remained mum about the show's renewal or cancellation, which is why a lot of fans are already expressing their worries over the series' future. Will there still be another season?
This article contains spoilers. Read on if you want to learn more about the details of this story.
"Devious Maids" Season 5 is unlikely to happen given Lifetime's silence following the Season 4 finale. According to AJC.com, the show's cancellation is more likely to happen since the ratings for the drama continuously fell since it aired its first season on TV.
In "Devious Maids" Season 1, the show raked in about 2.5 million viewers. But as seasons went by, the show closed to just around 900,000 in Season 4, making it a question as to whether or not the show is still worth the risk for Lifetime.
"Devious Maids" Season 4 has also gone through a reduction in its episode order - from 13 to 10. An episode order cut is often taken as a sign that a series is going to be cancelled afterwards.
The publication, however, notes that "Devious Maids" Season 5 may still happen if the DVR numbers are enough to entice Lifetime into renewing the show for another season. Carter Matt also quoted on one of the statements from showrunner Brian Tanen in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
"We tried really hard to end stories in surprising and interesting places," he explained. "And we really hope that the audience loves them and is intrigued and wants a season 5."
This means that "Devious Maids" Season 5 renewal or cancellation lies solely upon the show's fans and viewers. Fans may also start an online petition in order to show Lifetime that the series is worth renewing for another year.
