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?
The only reason I watch fix is for Lucifer!
Cancel the show and I won’t be watching…you are not thinking of the fans with thus decision. Please readvise.
One of the best shows I have ever watched on a regular basis.
I came across it on prime tv by accident and “binge watched” the entire 1st and 2nd series. Afterwards I looked forward every week (apart from the “missing weeks”) to my weekly dose of this brilliantly portrayed storyline.
No 4th series is an absolute travesty for the people all over the world who have come to love the characters associated with this wonderful series.
Please bring Lucifer back! Love this show and all the characters! Try eliminating some of the worthless reality shows and leave the really good ones, like Lucifer, alone.
Great Show, one of the very few worth watching
Why the good tv is cancelled is beyond me..
If could be back to air …
Pleeeease renew Lucifer…!! Just one more season! I love the show. It is both exciting and funny, and I loooove supernatural series.

Really enjoyed this show and then to cancel with so many unanswered questions is irritating.
Please, please, please renew this show!! It is such a great show.
It’s an absolute disgrace!!! Lucifer is an awesome show and i look forward to every new episode! Why are the idiots at tv networks cancelling all the good shows!!?? Over the past few years we’ve lost Constantine which is now a crappy 5 min cartoon! We’ve lost the vampire diaries and now we’re going to loose the originals too, we’ve lost Grimm which was another awesome fantasy show and now after everything we’re looking Lucifer too it’s an OUTRAGE!!!! Tv networks are too busy filling their air time with stupid reality shows rather than keeping the good stuff!
Seems like every time there’s a great series on, ratings – rather than quality – determines its fate. The series is set for a fourth season as far as the writers go, so come on FOX, treat “Lucifer” to a well-deserved series ending with the 4th season instead of pulling the rug out from under all the fans! After all, I’ve got to pay WAY more to my satellite company in order to get “FOX News” than I do CNN, MSNBC, Headline News, and all the other news channels which all come in the basic package, but not FOX News… Read more »
Lucifer should not be cancelled! Why do you networks always do this when you produce a different type of show with good actors?! This show deserves a 4th season and I am one who seeks the Spiritual Path… It shows the truth of the human condition.
Please renew this awesome show. Lucifer has so many great layers of acting.
Lucifer is such a great show!!!!! PLEASE DON>T CANCEL IT!!!! Just try it at a new time frame!!!!! It came on against Supergirl and people Love comic book heroes< Lucifer and Scorpion made me look forward to Monday's!!!!!
Please renew Lucifer. An amazing show,perfect casting, TERRIFIC stories.
Another mistake. This was also a pretty good show. Don’t you have writers who can make the show interesting and exciting for a couple more seasons?
I think it is a shame that they cancelled this show. Every show had a moral and a great story. FOX seems to thrive on keeping crap tv shows on the air and deleting the good ones. One reason I will not tune into FOX anymore. Losing good shows becomes tiring and this time they have gone too far.
