About the series

Created by Marc Cherry, Devious Maids is an American comedy-drama mystery television series that follows a close-knit group of ambitious maids serving the rich and famous of Beverly Hills. The series first premiered in June 2013 and has had a successful three-season run. Devious Maids season 4 premiered on Lifetime on June 6, 2016.

Zoila, Valentina, Rose, Carmen and Marisol work as housemaids in the Beverly Hills’ affluent area. They serve very powerful and emotionally unstable people and find that they have to be on the lookout for one another when times get tough, including when a maid is found killed in her employer’s home. Through danger, mystery and romance, these ladies stick together and help each other through life’s struggles. In the third season, the drama continues with Carmen still in an affair with Sebastian, and Zoila needing Genevieve’s help with her pregnancy and baby.

Ratings, reviews and possible renewal

Heavily influenced by the showrunner’s previous series Desperate Housewives and based on a Mexican drama TV series Ellas son la Alegría del Hogar, this series is packed with drama and mystery. The current season features Marisol entering a new relationship that soon becomes a complex love triangle when an old flame resurfaces, Genevieve getting used to a household without Zolia's sarcastic disposition, and other big changes in the characters' lives. The series has won several awards and boasts very high ratings. Scoring 7.9 out of 10 on IMDb and 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, the show was pulling in an average of 1.4 million viewers per episode in its third season. However, season 4 has lost approximately 1/3 of its audience. Season 4 premiere episode debuted to 1.08 million viewers, and the third season was seen by 0.81 million viewers. Stay tuned for relevant announcements regarding the series' future.

Season 4 recap

The eventful 10-episode fourth season of Lifetime’s compelling drama Devious Maids has wrapped up on August 8. While many of the loose ends were picked up in the last episode, a significant and troubling event has rounded it up. Marisol’s kidnapping on her wedding day is definitely the biggest twist of the season finale, although the revelation that Gail Fleming is Peri’s killer is shocking enough. Rosie opens up to Spence about her pregnancy, but doesn’t tell him about Tucker. Elsewhere, Evelyn and Adrian finalize their divorce, which doesn’t prevent them from consummating the end of their marriage right on the table. The viewership hovered about the 0.9 million mark, with 0.86 million viewers tuning in for the season finale. There have been no announcements regarding the fifth season of Devious Maids, but the series is popular and the chances of it coming back are very high. Stay tuned, and we’ll bring you the latest news.

Latest news

UPDATED September 2, 2016: In an unfortunate and somewhat counterintuitive turn of events, Lifetime's telenovela-style series Devious Maids is concluding its successful four-season run. There will be no season five, as the network is changing its creative direction and currently leaning more towards series like the recently launched UnREAL. Devious Maids' ratings have declined from the freshman chapter highs of 3 million viewers to the average of 0.923 million viewers in the last completed season four. Based on viewership numbers, the show could have lasted for quite a while longer, but the network politics determine everything, and Devious Maids are on their way out.

I have been waiting and waiting on a date for the next season. I have watched this since the first season. This isn't right at all. I watched Drop Dead Diva, they cut it...now this! I'm so upset, and disappointed. And I don't think Atlanta Plastic is coming back either.
:sad:

Really really upset that they cancelled Devious Maids Season 5.....especially after then ending of season 4. I just dnt get the tv execs and the people who are in charge of cancelling shows. Does anyone read the comments or reviews. But then they wanna keep or put out shows like knocked up or 30 something grandma. I dnt care about that fake scripted reality bs I want drama and comedy and a good story all in one as do a lot of people. It so sad lifetime and a lot of other stations are doing this.

REALLY Annoyed... this is like reading a book or watching a movie & then not being able to see how it ends .... no-one would start watching a movie if they knew before hand that it would cut off before the ending ... it's very frustrating that we... the viewers who watch these shows and invest our time are left hanging & it's completely out of our control ... I was really looking forward to season 5... if they're not going to give us season 5... the very least they should do is air one episode that ties everything together ... they have no respect for the viewers ... well I guess all I can do is vent :(

This is why I hate to start watching new shows. You get invested and they cancel them! This was a GREAT show. Drama with amazing humor. Lifetime is just CHEAP. They would rather produce cheap junk. I wish another network would pick this up. Marc Cherry should so it around. Surely someone else isn't as dumb as Lifetime!

I am absolutely gutted to read this! It's a great show, I loved desperate housewives and this is the only thing I have found that comes close!!!! I'm in the UK and everyone I know who watched DH watches this!!! What happens to Marisol, I am gutted!!!

I can't believe you would leave all us fans hanging like this, if you're going to take away our favourite show then at least give us closure on what happens to Marisol!!!
It angers me that lifetime have so many boring shows on but this is the one to get cancelled!!
Devious Maids always kept me on the edge of my seat, I'm going to really miss the show.

Agreed - this is one of the funniest and best watches on TV in my opinion - I can't believe it's been cancelled, especially after that cliffhanger ending to series 4. I hope another channel picks this up - there's no way it should be permanently taken off air

Totally agree. Please another channel should pick up, why cant they add up show ratings from other countries as well im sure then the ratings will be high. As they show the episodes on different dates.

I 100% agree with you. We are now left wondering what happened to each character. I definitely hope another network pick this up because I'm totally obsessed with Devious Maids.

This is bs, you can't cancel the show with an ending like that! If you were gonna cancel it why did you leave us viewers hanging with the ending about marisol missing?! You owe it to us to at least give us one more season to show what happens. Why!!!!!

Aside on agreeing with other comments of being upset the show has ended and wanting answers to how it all really ends...I would like to bring up the fact that this show is an inspiration to other young Latina females. The movie industry is difficult for Latina American women. Many of these women have paved the way. I am sorry that there are not many shows like this for American Latinas. Being that I am one....I know the struggle is real in any career.
