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.

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.

Please please keep Lucifer tv show I love it. I’m waiting for season 4
“Lucifer” is an excellent show. It is incredibly intricate from the mystery to the humor; and it doesn’t stop there! Not only does “Lucifer” hit all the genres at once, action/comedy/drama/mystery/sci-fi TV show, it is one of the best written shows I have watched in a long, long time. Tom Ellis makes the character come alive; in fact the entire cast is excellent. This is not just my opinion it is also many of my fellow watchers as well. If you have not watched the show because it is called “Lucifer”, give it a watch and a chance. Your soul… Read more »
I hope they renew Lucifer for season 4. My wife and I love the dark and semi naughty humor and quips! But if it gets cut, I HOPE they give an ending to the show and it doesn’t just silently disappear like so many others with things left hanging…
I love lucifer and season 3 just ended and left me with a cliffhanger I must know what’s gonna happen
Please do not cancel this show! I love it! This is the only reason I watch fox and have Hulu.
This TV show “LUCIFER” is truly amazing. I watch it everyday season 1-3 whenever ever I can. Just waiting on Season 4 to come on air, hopefully soon. Please keep on I need to know what Chloe thinks of Lucifer the devil after she sees his real face & all the good he’s done. It’s so purifying this shows its very talented who ever came up with these ideas are a genius.
I had avoided the show due to religious reasons, but since this is based on a comic book as opposed to the original deceiver I have become quite the fan. I strongly suggest renewal and also adding Cliff Simon who played ba’al in stargate sg1 to the cast as another immortal regular. keep the show. also count hulu and other sources for viewership.
Love the show Lucifer! If fox ever cancels it I’ll boycott fox completely
