Looks like Lucifer Morningstar isn’t quite a lucky devil any longer. His show’s ratings have fallen year after year and so, FOX has cancelled its Lucifer TV show. Sadly, fans of the supernatural crime drama won’t be seeing a fourth season this fall.
A FOX comedy-drama, Lucifer stars Tom Ellis, Lauren German, DB Woodside, Lesley-Ann Brandt, Kevin Alejandro, Rachael Harris, Aimee Garcia, Tricia Helfer, Scarlett Estevez, and Tom Welling. The supernatural procedural centers on Lucifer Morningstar (Ellis) who abandoned his throne, retired to Los Angeles, opened up a nightclub, and started helping LAPD Detective Chloe Decker (German) crack cases.
Lucifer: A Look at the Ratings
The third season of Lucifer is averaging a 0.83 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.30 million viewers. Compared to season two, that’s down by 20% and down by 10%, respectively. While those declines aren’t huge, the series has seen dips in its ratings each season and the series could easily have been cancelled before. Apparently, the ratings dipped just a bit too low.
Out of the scripted FOX TV shows we’re tracking, Lucifer ranks 13th in terms of its demo performance and rises to 10th place in terms of average total audience size.
Lucifer showrunner Joe Henderson broke the bad news this afternoon.
So… yeah. #Lucifer has been cancelled. And it fucking HURTS. I loved this show so damn much and everyone put their heart and soul into it. Heartbreaking doesn't begin to describe.

The defacto series finale airs Monday, May 14th.
What do you think? Did you think FOX would renew Lucifer for season four? Are you sorry that the network has cancelled this Monday night series?
Lucifer cancelled, RATS… FOX FINALLY aired a great pgm & they cancel it… Between that & being Trump’s pet, shows how foolish FOX network is…
I was really hoping LUCIFER would be back in the fall this year after what I saw at the end of the series tonight. Chloe saw him as he really looks, and he didn’t know why she was upset. They better get another production to bring it back because I don’t like the way it ended at all.
I am disappointed to hear Lucifer has been cancelled. I enjoyed the show and was a regular viewer each week. It appears that the networks need instant gratification with rating or they dump and go on to something else. If you remember Hill Street Blues which the network wanted to terminate, but they held off and the show gained viewers and went on for years prior to being cancelled. Come on TV Networks, give things an opportunity to function without the fear of cancellation.
If you would’ve had Lucifer on at 9 PM Eastern time instead of 8 pm you would’ve had more people watching it get some new writers and get it back on TV Thank u
That’s it? No real story line closing, nothing. THAT SUCKS! So now we’re stuck with really dull, stupid and boring reality shows. I guess I’ll go back to reading. I HATE reality shows.
I just finished watching Lucifer… I guess for the last time?!? It breaks my heart that there won’t be a season 4!
Sorry to see Lucifer cancelled. I will really miss the show as it was a good hour spent. I Liked the storyline , It made me laugh and at times cry.
Fox loses my viewership permanently and this U take seriously… this means goodbye Simpson’s in my life… it will be ok. There are plenty of great shows on the WB network
We are so disappointed to find out #Lucifer was cancelled. It is the only show we watched on FOX. I guess there will be no more FOX for us.

Keep Lucifer. Great cast novel story lines. Dry humor
Love this show. So different and Lucifer is awesome. I’m so disappointed. Please keep it on
hi please fox renewed Lucifer i love this show something have to go by faith let it see how it goes i ask please renewed Lucifer now
I can’t understand why the studios only wants to keep hundred million dollar series alive. We all people are different, we all love different things, but it is not allowed to love other series than the other people do. Than the main part of people do. Why it is not enough to get a tiny success, with real fans, with devoted fans? We watch our series over many years, we spend our time with the actors, we write nice little messages in twitter, facebook or insta about, but we are not enough, the studios don’t like us. It should be… Read more »
This is a ridiculous decision. Fox cuts a decent show and leaves us with more reality TV. Lucifer is one of the best shows on TV right now. It makes Monday’s more enjoyable knowing that i will see these characters later in the evening. Fox, you need to rethink your decision!!
It’s really outrageous that a show of this quality has been cancelled. I pray that another network will pick it up and save it. Fox has, once again, insulted intelligent viewers. Lucifer was the only show I actually looked forward to every week. SHAME ON YOU, FOX!!
great show but you listen to Neilsen ratings think how many don’t have Neilsen in their house. Remember Star Trek was not their favorite but look at it now. Don’t make the same mistake . My sons and their families watch it. It always seam a good show comes on that people like then some number pusher says take it of and put another dumb reality show on.
