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. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/29 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.

For comparisons: The second season of Lucifer averaged a 1.04 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 3.654 million total viewers (live + same day ratings).
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the Lucifer TV show? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?

Really like this program, our household never missed an episode. We were looking forward to the next season.
I really like this show, our household never missed an episode. Really good entertainment.
lucifer season 4 gets my vote but how often does a petition get them to change their minds and that was a question not a statement
Lucifer must absolutely be kept. It is a great, original and funny show and a fourth season (at least) is needed. All the actors are excellent. Moreover, if Fox does not change its mind about another season, I will definitely stop watching everything broadcast by that network.
Cancellation was well timed. Cliffhanger was not really cliffhanger. 23 episode left a very SIMPLE choice of what happened to the viewers — which 5-10 minute scene do you prefer ( (Chloe accepts or rejects or Lucifer sees his self-assigned duty to return to hell as Cain pointed out)? If you watched the two add-on episodes from Season 4 — well all the other big questions/possibilities are explored BADLY. Yeah if the show continues with ordinary world merely touched by supernatural then Chloe must walk a line that neither accepts or fully rejects Lucifer. That kills the shows sex tension… Read more »
i disagree as will most the show has tons it can still do and the relationship between those two will or could be even hotter than before that is for sure.
Wouldn’t be the first memory wipe in this show either.
Lucifer has been one of the best shows for pure enjoyment and escapism. It never takes itself too seriously,which is something we all need these days. With all the shows today trying to go overboard being politically correct it has been a breath of fresh air. If another network is wise enough to pick it up I will watch it no matter what other show I will have to miss. I truly hope someone makes the smart decision and picks Lucifer up!
Fox or any network need to renew Lucifer, if not i have to cancell my viewing of any Fox series no mening to start follow series what being cancelled out of the blue on cliffhangers 🙂
I agree and left a message in that respect. Lucifer must come back ! People from all around the world love that show, so let us fight for it !
I don’t watch sports on TV, have no interest in any animated series, and reality programs have always been a turn-off. The only program on Fox that I ‘ve consistently made a point to not miss is Lucifer. If it hadn’t been for my checking the listings for Monday evening, I wouldn’t have known about the two episodes on 5/28. Did Fox promote them anywhere outside of the home channel? I’ll bet it didn’t. If another network saves the series, I’ll watch it there. If Netflix or Amazon take it on, I’ll watch it there. What I won’t be doing,… Read more »
FOX didn’t publicise the May 28 airing of the 2 bonus episodes of Lucifer so that the network could justify its cancellation. Those of us outside the US certainly tuned in and watched Lucifer but we don’t count. FOX needs to rethink its decision on cancelling Lucifer as it’s one of the most popular TV programmes on the planet. In some parts of the world people get it on Amazon Prime, others on Netflix and we here in Canada get it on CTV. I know it’s a long shot but maybe the producers of Lucifer should approach HBO. All I… Read more »
