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?
Please bring Lucifer back!!!! It is a well written and acted series. Perhaps it needed more advertising. I never have seen a commercial for it. Don’t let it go. Thanks for considering this. MM
P.S. What about a two hour Lucifer movie for TV to help end it properly?
I am heartbroken!!!! Lucifer is my favorite show and I am so disappointed to find it has been canceled. Please bring Lucifer back!!!
We need to bring the show back! Bring Lucifer back!
I’m mad its my favorite show maybe if they didn’t schedule it when all the sports playoffs are on there wouldn’t be a problem its a great show SAVE LUCIFER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And what about does that didn’t drop? We still are here, or what we don’t metter? So many funs go to hell, becouse we are to few? That’s why fox lose us.
This is crazy , the show is great !
What the …??!! We really loved this show. Come on FOX, what were you thinking??
I was very upset to hear they cancelled this show. I think it was actually the only thing worth watching on Fox.
I hope this show gets renewed.I want to see what happens next in Lucifer⚡now that the detective know the truth.
I love this show and why do they always cancel all the really good shows it’s funny smart and has a great cast as well as being thought provoking and I am not happy they have canceled it 🙁
I’m curious to know if you just take ratings from Fox during the time it airs? A lot of people like myself only have netflix/hulu etc. Do you take those ratings into consideration? Lucifer was an awesome show that I agree left people in thought and wanting to come back the next week with anticipation. I hope they reconsider. They always cancel the good ones!!!
Typical. A show with intelligent storytelling that makes viewers actually think gets cancelled. When Lucifer did his speech to Ms. Lopez about how God doesn’t pull strings, it’s us doing it to ourselves, I knew that was why I’d read that it got cancelled. As Lucifer would say, “Can’t have the viewers actually thinking, now can we?”
Lucifer is like no other show on TV. Did you stop to think that it is the night and time slot it is in? If you move it to another night, and at 10 ET it would do better. Don’t blame the show blame where you put it. I am really sad you are taking off one of my favorite shows.
Let’s see, original idea, check; great cast, check; well-written, check — well, no wonder it’s been cancelled, it’s too good! All my friends watch it, but none of us are Nielson (sp?) households. How about giving it a different day or time. I want to know what happens now that Chloe knows the truth!
I love Lucifer. It’s so different and I love all the stars. I must be a nut cause all the shows I like get cancelled. I wonder who sets the ratings cause everyone I know loves this show
