Lucifer may still have some life left. According to Deadline, Warner Bros. TV is shopping the cancelled FOX series around for a fourth season.
As reported earlier, the supernatural crime drama has been cancelled after three seasons. The cast includes Tom Ellis, Lauren German, DB Woodside, Lesley-Ann Brandt, Kevin Alejandro, Rachael Harris, Aimee Garcia, Tricia Helfer, Scarlett Estevez, and Tom Welling.
Per Deadline, Lucifer‘s production studio Warner Bros. TV is interested in shopping the series around to other networks for a fourth season. Currently, Hulu owns the streaming rights to the show, so that’s one option. Additionally, the crime drama is based on a DC Comics property and DC is launching a new streaming service, DC Universe, later this year.
One of FOX‘s other cancelled series, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, was recently picked up by NBC for another season, but will Lucifer have the same luck?
Ellis and others connected with the show have vowed to keep fighting to save the series. The actor who plays the show’s title character learned the news from showrunner Joe Henderson. Ellis had just attended a fan convention in Rome and was on a high. He was initially shocked and then devastated. When the cancellation news went public, he was overwhelmed by the uproar and love expressed by the fans.
He notes that the tsunami response has helped to create a conversation about saving the show. He notes that, “I don’t want to promise anything for anybody, because there are so many things that have to align for things to happen…,” he ventures. “But I didn’t have hope, and I do have hope now. And as long as there is hope, I will keep fighting. Because I think that’s what our fans want us to do.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of Lucifer? Would you watch the series on another network or streaming service? Should it be saved?
This is one of my favorite shows! I don’t care which station you call home or if you have to move seasonally; I’d follow the show wherever the location. It’s one of a kind and a breath of fresh air In the world of cookie cutter TV shows. It’s the perfect culmination of drama, comedy, murder, mayhem, and a great twist on the whole God thing. It gives a fresh, interesting and intriguing new view on God and religion. The relationship between Lucifer and The Detective is set up perfectly, between Lucifer and Eminadele, Maize, The Doctor, Dan, Chloe, the… Read more »
Please Please don’t cancel this series. I look forward to watching this show every Monday, evening. I am really hoping another station will pick it up. We have to see how Lucifer gets out of this cliff hanger. So yes, most definitely will watch on another station.
Lucifer is a fantastic show. The writing is great and I love that devil! Yes, if it was picked up, I would watch religiously. Even if I have to join Netflix !
So bad these days that they can’t come up with original creative content? Instead of digging up at times 10 year old or older sitcoms that are being remade? This is a really sad time in broadcasting because people can’t create nothing worth crap like re-create something that was successful. Networks are so scared of failure that they’re willing to copy or bring back old shows just because they think you don’t work Roseanne is one example which will probably fail within another year.
I am a fan of Lucifer and quite shocked when it was cancelled. I always look forward to Monday so that I can watch it. Empty feeling now. Hope it will find a new home, soon!
I am utterly disappointed that they have cancelled the show. I eagerly wait for Monday so that I can watch Lucifer. I now feel empty 🙁 I hope it will find a new home.
Please Nerflix or Cw pick this up. Yeah it’s a cop show but with a different twist. I enjoy the everything about it. Even the bits of humor. I DVR the show I have 4 shows that I record because if my schedule. I like to watch TV on my time. Not just when the networks decided it’s time to watch.
Me and several of my friends would continue watching. We were all deeply disappointed to learn that Fox has again canceled a decent show. My friends and I have never missed an episode. It is one of only 3 that I watch at all. While I understand why a streaming service would be perferable, I hope it would be with one that is available outside the U.S. like perhaps Netflix? Ideally a tv network will pick it up and continue to expand and improve the characters. It is a funny well put together show that you don’t need a score… Read more »
Definitely would’ve watch without a doubt. It didn’t deserve to be cancelled in the first place. Didn’t miss a single episode of the entire three seasons and I wouldn’t miss a single episode when and if it gets picked up
yes
Yes I would love to see it continue. Keep it demonic, however, don’t make them so silly. I think the show started to slip when they got “silly” and away from the original idea.
Someone me needs to pick up this show. It’s one of Only 3 or 4 I can be bothered watching these days!
Please will some network please pick up the show Lucifer for Season 4?
And here we go again with another show that is slated for the round file and shouldn’t be. This season is ending on the note the fans have been waiting for, with Lucifer getting back his devil face and the Detective finally seeing him for who he really is. I want to see this to the end, and not just on some channel I can’t get without paying stupid money for it. Keep the show!
Please bring back Lucifer. This show is amazing. Lovely cast!
