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.

What do you think? Do you like the Lucifer TV show? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
**5/11/2018 update: FOX has cancelled Lucifer so there won’t be a fourth season. Details here.
**6/15/2018 update: Netflix has picked up Lucifer season four. Details here.
I just started season 3 on episode 3 and I am a lot frustrated with the fact that Lucifer still hasn’t revealed his true self to Chloe and from what I hear, she still doesn’t find out at the end of season 3!! I’m nervous now because who know if season 4 will be renewed and if it isn’t and Chloe and Lucifer don’t get together and he doesn’t tell her????……well, I’ll lose interest right now and quit watching it altogether! I won’t even finish season 3. My heart hurts. ☹️
I discovered Lucifer this month and I got so obsessed with it. I’m up to date with the episodes and I would say that this is one of the greatest shows out there. Tom Ellis as well as the whole cast is talented. It should definitely be renewed for season 4!
I really hope that there’s going to be a 4th season!
Love this show ! Great Entertainment! Talented Actors/Actresses I look forward to every Monday night or any other night binge watching on Hulu. Please keep Luci alive for all of the Lucifer Fans
I don’t know or Care about other people but I’d love to see another full season of Lucifer say 22-25eps. Hopefully Lucifer gets his Satan face back it’s fun when the bad guys scream when he reveals his Satan side.
Also we need Australia Netflix / Stan / Foxtel, etc to be unlocked to new content. People can’t watch stuff they don’t know is out there so also get on the promotion band wagon
I would love to see another season of Lucifer. Not since Dexter have I liked a show this much.
Please renew for another season. I love this show. I haven’t watched an awesome show since Dexter so I hope this one continues.
Lucifer is the best show that Fox had ever had. I love this show I been watching this show sents you had it on please do not get rid of it . THE BEST SHOW EVER. Thank you very much. ❣️❣️❣️
I would love a fourth season, Lucifer is so funny, smart and dark at the same time, it is my fave TV Show.
Best show i’ve seen. The mix between good, evil and stuff you cant stop laughing at is so fun to watch. Realy want this show to continue in a season 4. And hopefully more.
Please keep the show going! I wish you wouldn’t have listened to those whining haters and kept Lucifer playing the piano. I cant believe that those people told you how to write your own show and you listened to them. It was better when he was playing the piano. Anyway, please keep the show going!
They’ve make Lucifer a huge whiny wuss! No devil face, no punishment for bad guys, this season has been a huge disappointment.
I’m really hoping for a season 4. I just can’t get enough. I love the addition of Cain and Abel in season 3.
Ratings dropped because it’s no longer on Netflix, but Fox is too stupid to realize that.
Yes! Of COURSE renew for a fourth season! Don’t Botch this one like you did Firefly Fox network. Just don’t. Just go for one more season, and don’t screw with it this time and you’ll see, it’ll go up in ratings.
