"Devious Maids" Season 5 should see the homecoming of Dani's father to the life of Carmen, and uncover the truth about the kidnapping of Marisol. But, news of the cancellation of the television series has been spreading like wild fire. What is the truth of the matter?
Lifetime has been silent about "Devious Maids" Season 5 after "Grime and Punishment," the season 4's final episode, was shown on air. The previous season has only scored 0.30 among the demographics of 18 to 49 years old. Infact, "Devious Maids" Season 4 has only 1.36 million viewers (or 0.46), which is lower than that of Season 3.
Interesting twists happened during the Season 4 that viewers might like to see the continuity of the storyline on "Devious Maids" Season 5. It was revealed that Gail Fleming, the daughter of Hugh Metzger, actually killed Peri. Evelyn and Adrian finally agreed to get a divorce. Rosie broke the news about her pregnancy to Spence without even mentioning about Tucker. And of course, the kidnapping of Marisol on her wedding day with Peter left the viewers excited to know what happens next.
Sabrina Wind, the executive producer of "Devious Maids," said that Lifetime has been mum on the issue of cancellation or renewal of the television series. Some hopefuls analyze that since Season 4 was announced on a September, perhaps the announcement of the renewal of "Devious Maids" Season 5 will also happen next month.
However, looking at the performance of Season 4, some can conclude that "Devious Maids" Season 5 is not bound to happen. Season 4 has only 10 episodes compared to Season 3's 13. Reports said that it started with 1.08 million viewers but dramatically declined after each episode. Up until Lifetime network issues an official statement, everyone can just hope for the best.
