Final Ratings Update: Tuesday’s “Scream Queens,” which was the series’ fourth episode (in its third broadcast week), posted a 1.2 adults 18-49 rating with 2.968 million viewers.

Both numbers trail those of last week’s episode (1.4, 3.465 million) by 14%.

FOX led into “Scream Queens” with the second episodes of “Grandfathered” and “The Grinder.” Both were down sharply this week; “Grandfathered” posted a 1.2 with 3.873 million (versus a 1.5 with 5.337 million for last week’s premiere), while “The Grinder” drew a 1.0 with 3.150 million (versus a 1.5 with 4.982 million for last week’s premiere).

Update: Tuesday’s “Scream Queens” suffered losses in adults 18-49 and total viewership.

Per fast national data, Tuesday’s episode drew a 1.1 adults 18-49 rating with 2.907 million viewers. Both numbers trail those of last week’s installment, which managed a 1.4 with 3.465 million.

FOX’s 8PM comedies “Grandfathered” and “The Grinder” also suffered declines this week. Episode two of the former drew a 1.1 with 3.759 million viewers (versus a 1.5 with 5.337 million for the premiere), while episode two of the latter posted a mere 1.0 with 3.101 million (versus a 1.5 with 4.982 million for the premiere).

FOX’s Tuesday ratings picture became bleaker this week.

Leading out of deflated editions of “Grandfathered” and “The Grinder,” FOX’s “Scream Queens” again slipped in the overnight household ratings.

Metered market data reveals that the episode, which represented the show’s fourth hour (and third weekly broadcast), posted a paltry 2.2 overnight household rating. That trails the previous week’s 2.5 mark.

While there is no guarantee “Scream Queens” also suffered losses in adults 18-49 and total viewership, the week-to-week overnight household decline does not bode well for its performance in either category. Last week’s 2.5 overnight household rating came in conjunction with a 1.4 adults 18-49 rating and 3.47 million viewers.

The aforementioned “Grandfathered” and “The Grinder” each suffered sizable week two losses. The former, which premiered last week to a 4.0 overnight household rating, managed a 3.0 this week. The latter, which opened to a 3.8, settled for a mere 2.5 in week two.

Adults 18-49 and viewership data will be available by 11:15AM.
