FOX is sticking with Lucifer. Today, the network announced they’ve renewed the TV show for a third season.
Based on the DC Comics character, the drama follows Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis) as he leaves his throne in Hell to live in Los Angeles. The cast also includes Lauren German, D.B. Woodside, Tricia Helfer, Rachael Harris, Lesley-Ann Brandt, Kevin Alejandro, Aimee Garcia, and Scarlett Estevez.
Lucifer is currently in the middle of its second season on FOX. So far, the season is earning an average rating of 1.10 in the 18-49 demo and 3.825 million viewers. The numbers are considerably lower than season one’s average rating of 1.47 in the 18-49 demo and 4.56 million total viewers. However, despite the low ratings, the network seems to support the series and its creative team. FOX has ordered 22 episodes for season three.
Season two of Lucifer returns on May 1st.
From FOX:
FOX has ordered a third season of LUCIFER, the devilishly fun series about the original fallen angel who moves to Los Angeles and teams up with the LAPD to take down criminals. Twenty-two episodes have been ordered.
“LUCIFER is one of those rare shows that starts strong out of the gate, and just keeps getting better and better,” said David Madden, President, Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company. “Tom, Lauren and the entire cast have really made these characters three-dimensional, and the production team – Jerry, Len, Jonathan, Joe and Ildy – is one of the best in the business. We’d also like to thank our partners Warner Bros. for their commitment to this show and we look forward to seeing where this wildly innovative series takes us in Season Three.”
Delivering an average Multi-Platform audience of eight million viewers, LUCIFER stars Tom Ellis, Lauren German, Rachael Harris, DB Woodside, Lesley-Ann Brandt, Kevin Alejandro, Aimee Garcia, Tricia Helfer and Scarlett Estevez. The series is based upon the characters created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg for Vertigo, from DC Entertainment.
In the all-new spring premiere of LUCIFER, “Candy Morningstar,” airing Monday, May 1 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX, Lucifer (Tom Ellis) has gone off the grid and cut off all contact from his family and the police department, following Chloe’s (Lauren German) near-death. But the murder of an up-and-coming guitarist causes him to resurface – with a new mystery woman. Meanwhile, Lucifer’s mom (Tricia Helfer) realizes she may have found a way to finally get them back to Heaven.
LUCIFER is produced by Warner Bros. Television, in association with Jerry Bruckheimer Television and Aggressive Mediocrity. The series is based on characters created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg for Vertigo, from DC Entertainment. Tom Kapinos (“Californication”) wrote and executive-produced the pilot. The series is executive-produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, Jonathan Littman, Ildy Modrovich and Joe Henderson. Len Wiseman serves as director and executive producer. Kapinos serves as executive consultant on the series.”
What do you think? Do you watch Lucifer? Are you glad it’s been renewed?
When I first heard about the show I thought it would not be good. But after watching the first episode I got hooked into and my wife as well. We were wondering why it stopped as it became our Monday night routine. Glad to hear it’s not cancelled.
I am so glad FOX decided to stick with this series I love it and with more exposure to audience I can see it running as long as my other favourite show Supernatural. This show has a monster cast and I LOVE Tom Ellis in this role. He is a genius!!!!!
Those Winchesters boys have a way of getting under your skin. I hope it last a few more years. Hard to believe they have been on for 11 seasons. Give me Lucy, Dean, and Sammy and I will be a happy camper.
I really glad they renewed the show.
I saw one episode and I was hooked.
Yes this is my favorite new show. I don’t usually watch hour long shows ,only 1/2hr comedy. I make sure I don’t miss any episodes. I tell everyone to watch
Yes I’m glad it’s being renewed best show in a long time
I love the show so much! I’ve told my friends to watch it and now they’re hooked and referring their friends to watch it too! Spread the word everyone so we can all support the show!!
God please! DON´T MAKE IT STOP!
Love Lucifer! Monday’s are much more tolerable because of this guy!! Oh hell yes!!
So many of my favourite shows have been axed after the 1st or 2nd season…. LUCIFER is my biggest fix…. I want more… U desire lots more LUCIFER and so do alot of people… let Lucifer run his course by the end the rating will be huge….. I only stumbled apon it by a friend telling me about it. Under promoted if you ask me… popular in England and Australia.
It is about time someone came to their senses, for the average person like me.
Thank you Phil m.
This is the best underrated show on tv. It should be renewed for at least two more seasons.
Hell yeah I love it (see what I did there), I love Tom Ellis, he perfect for the role, and I’ll be damned (chuckles) if they stop… But seriously don’t stop.
I LOVE THIS SHOW AND I WISH THIS SHOW GO TILL SESON 10 AND TO KEEP ME AS CURIOUS AND INTRESTED AS IT KEEP ME THESE 2 SESONS..
Both my husband & I love the show & cant wait for it to return.
I have been a huge fan of the show from the start. But then again I’m a huge nerd. Anything that deals with DC or Marvel I watch. This show has become my husband’s and my new “Burn Notice”. I love the way Tom Ellis has made the character come to life in his own way. Every week my husband and I tune in to see what the twists are going to be now or if Lucifer and the detective finally make it offical.
