Through its first eight episodes, Star has averaged a 1.4 rating in the coveted 18-49 advertising demographic.

In addition Fox says that factoring in DVR ratings, the show is averaging more than 7.5 million viewers each week.
Fox President of Entertainment simply made the announcement about the newer Lee Daniels show, name dropping the show’s creator and the cast as reasons for keeping the series around.
