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.

**6/15/2018 update: Netflix has picked up Lucifer season four. Details here.
Season 3 episodes just keep getting better and better, especially with more interaction between Luci and Pierce and less emphasis on Luci and Chloe. The last episode “MY Brother…” introduces us to new storylines, dilemmas and deeper development of the characters.
Lucifer definitely needs a Season 4 and if one looks at the ratings the show has consistent loyal following.
Keep the show going. It is really refreshing in today ‘s times to actual have the audience rooting for the Under Demon… Lucifer is just misunderstood & Lovable.!! I Love the show!!! :):):)
In the episode “Til Death….” Lucifer has returned to what makes it a great show. The chemistry between the two Toms is fantastic and I do hope that Tom Welling returns to Season 4.
What is also refreshing about this episode is that the Chloe-Luci will-they, won’t -they relationship has been put on the back burner. Lucifer works much better with less emphasis on Chloe interacting with our Luci.
This latest episode is comedy gold and if the writers can continue along this path then Lucifer could be on TV for years.
Please, let there be a seaso 4!!! It is the best show ever!! Me and my daughter looked for 4-5 episods per evening!!
Keep the show, love the theology, dark humor and the constant struggle.
Definitely need a new season of this, it’s awesome and funny as hell, and watching Lucifer is the only way I can tolerate being with my mother
What dose views change mean some of them are in red with a takeaway line then some are in green dose the red one mean there are less viewing than what it says in the millions and demo box and the green mean there is more
It indicates that fewer or more viewers watched in each category when compared to the previous episode.
Please keep it. At home we all love this show.
One of my favorites, yes for season 4
This is the best , most original series on TV . Farcical Fantasy that makes you think. Please renew for another season
