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.

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.

Glad it was renewed. Interesting/unusual premise and characters. Keeps one guessing re direction and outcome of plot. But why the hiatus mid-season? Seems they might lose viewers.
That’s what I would like to know. They showed what three episodes, four maybe. I just know that it didn’t make me happy at all. But glad that it has been renewed.
So glad it’s been renewed. It is one of the best shows out there.
