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.

Definately Renew Lucifer!!! But please stop this hazardous broadcasting. I’m watching Lucifer online from France and you never know when a new episode will be launched. I think this stronly works against the ratings !
Love lucifer .. it makes me laugh and it is a quirky show that is not like anything else and can watch it over and over and never get bored of it … you can’t cancel it
RENEW LUCIFER! It´s a great show. I’m from Brazil and can see it on Netflix and Universal on Cable. Can only get the season 3 on internet.
It is the most amazing show – drama and comedy in every episode. We, I and my family, can see and talk about each episode several times. We want a redemption for Lucifer.
Please please please dont cancel the series I love it and bought the season 3 as it wasnt on Netflix it is awesome. There is so much **** out there that runs for season after season, that really needs to be taken off. So please make sure it comes back for even if its one last season make him fall in love and live happily if its all got to end.
PLEASE DON’T CANCEL THIS SERIES! I am loving every season and will be utterly pissed if they end this season. Sadly if they cancel I will probably stop watching tv.
Yes, I would like to keep on watching Lucifer on a 4th season. I was recently referred to it, and honestly have not been able to stop watching it. I don’t know how Season three will end, but I am sure the writers won’t be able to tie up all the different themes in just three more episodes. There is still a lot to tie up and new things to topics to bring up. I like that it explores a lot of real things in a funny but dark environment, like really been accountable for ones mistakes. I also love… Read more »
Very well said!
I have watched all of Seasons 1 & 2 at least 5 times each and have watched S3 three times to date.
I love the show and the characters.
But I really hope Lucifer gets his Devil face back soon. And that there are some more fight scenes like the time he and Amenedale took on a bunch of gangsters and won of course.
Also Maze, like the fight with the Asian and swords. She makes Ziva from NCIS look less dangerous.
Hang in there Lucifer!
I really like the Lucifer series. because it is the hottest serial taken from the holy book
I hope they will keep going with Lucifer. It’s my favourite show!
Binged watched S1 thru S3. Live this show. PLEASE renew it!!!! Go Team Lucifer!!
please keep the season going. advertise the series better, but people need to know that it is not what they think it is. From time to time truths come out which might cause people to do some introspection, but that is good for humanity. It can go for many more seasons like star trek with 7 and NCIS with 15 which is a similar show to Lucifer
steaming pile of poo. please cancel
I love this dont cancel this season 4
It’s a great show. It is original, funny, amusing , happy but also serious, dark. It has several kind of stories in a single story: supernatural, romantic, crime …it has all ingredients that I love because and it give me nice moments and I hope strongly it will be renewed.
P.S. …I hate Pierce… ;))
Love your comment and specially your PS
I just started watching this show S3 — I need to catch up on S1+2! At least one more season please?
