Despite a wicked drop in the ratings last year, FOX renewed its Lucifer TV show for a third season. Give the devil his due, though. Decline aside, the supernatural police procedural remained a top-10 ratings earner for the network. Can it hold on, come hell or high water? Will Lucifer be cancelled or renewed for season four? Stay tuned. **6/15/2018: See update below.
A 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 FOX TV series 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. Now with his mother (Helfer) taken care of, in season three, Lucifer wants to figure out who kidnapped him and why his angel wings have returned. He also has to deal with a new rival for Chloe’s attention, Lieutenant Marcus Pierce (Welling), who, unlike Lucifer, is strategic, reserved, and well-respected.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

Please Keep Going I Love this Show Its Awesome and really Funny I think its My Favorite Show and its the Only thing good on T V . I cant wait Til Season 4 On whats Going to Happen Next . I Like Lucifer
Keep the theology angle going. The conflict between God and man along with the dark humor and police procedural conceit….pure genius!
I was ALL about this show it’s first season. I was obsessed with Tom Ellis and found every thing he’d acted in. I discovered Miranda, and I now love Miranda Hart. Tom was brilliant as Gary Preston. I actually quickly came to like Miranda more than Lucifer, though I was hoping the latter would get a second season. Which I was sorely disappointed in. I watched the whole 2nd season, but although I’ve DVR’d the episodes of the 3rd season, I frankly can’t muster up any interest at all in watching them. I still love Tom, though. He has said… Read more »
Season 3 as a whole is much better than Season 2 with the addition of Tom Welling. Who would have guessed that he could do comedy.
As for Miranda, I loved Gary and his savory muffins.
Eydie, I hope you’ve overcome your lack of interest in Lucifer, but in case if not, I can assure you that season 3 is much better than season two. There are some great comedy episodes, and the current 3×16 is one of the many highlights. I already hope for season 4.
You kidding me Lucifer S3 is great Some eps are slow but it has background story to s1 of how Lucifer came to be in LA then took over a old Rundown dump of Club turned it into LUX. Curious about Lucifer getting his Devil face Back plus Amenadele getting his powers back too and what happens to Canaan / Pierce. God might not take to us Humans but you’d think he’d talk to his own Silestial Children – really God Talks to Homer Simpson but not his own Kids. I’m curious about this other show too now Miranda Heart… Read more »
