FOX has cancelled Lucifer after three seasons. Per sources, the network has reversed its initial decision to continue the series into Season 4.
Based upon the characters created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg for Vertigo, from DC Entertainment, Lucifer is the story of the original fallen angel. Bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell, Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis) abandoned his throne and retired to Los Angeles, where he has teamed up with an LAPD detective to take down criminals.
Per sources, there are no plans to shop Luficer Season 4 to other outlets, further consigning the show to eternal cancellation hell.
UPDATE: a “gutted” Tom Ellis commented on Lucifer‘s demise:
It has been the most amazing experience over the past 3 years playing Lucifer and falling in love with you, the fans. It fills me with great sadness to confirm the rumours that some of you have been asking. Fox has indeed cancelled #lucifer I’m so sorry guys. #gutted

Season 3: 3-27-2018-Orange Is The New Maze-I love this show but this is one of the few really good episodes of an otherwise silly season 3.Is it not time for Cain to go? And as always MAZE was GREAT!
Paul says
what started out as a great show now seems to be written for teen girls. Enough of Lucifer pining away, just ask her to the prom already and get back to better story lines.
PR says
The first season of Lucifer was brilliant. It was creepy, funny, heartfelt and just fun. By the time season 3 rolled around it seemed like the producers had brought in a few high school film enthusiasts to try and rewrite the premise altogether. (I know a few high school film enthusiasts through my kid’s high school friends who are trying to put together a movie right now) So we go from scary, crazy, somehow lovable Lucifer to a clown in a tutu acting as though he was never king of prom let alone king of Hell. What the hell happened. We were hoping for a good show we could follow for a while and we got a cardboard bad guy with one facial expression, brought it to increase viewers? I’m embarrassed for Tom (Pierce) and feel really bad for Tom (Lucifer) and the rest of the cast. Character completely lose their character? (looking at you Maze, you poor thing). Falling for the cop buddy doesn’t mean changing so radically that you are a different character, perhaps Lucifer’s cousin, Lucifool.
The only consistent character is Chloe and that must have been an accident. The new writers just forgot to change her into some cartoon of herself. At least some great shows were cancelled at their best (Better off Ted, Pushing daisies) because they were too intelligent apparently. But this coming from the producers of ‘Bones’? Come on writers, you cannot honestly say you put your best into this last season. Isn’t it your job on the line as well as the other actors?

If they would have stayed close the o the comic series of Lucifer it would have done better. It should be given a chance to redeem itself. But as always FOX SUCKS and cancelled a show that had potential. Hell even supernatural has silly episodes.
jack de angelis says

gloria emmons says
Agreed
Kathy Palmer says
This is one oh the best shows I have seen in years. Why do you have to cancel a great show to keep putting ridiculous crap on. Keep it on.

Ending was almost fully satisfying. Bummer there won’t be any episode after summing everything up. They could really do anything with the show now, so it seems like they’re losing out on that by not renewing. However I don’t know anything about how many viewers the show has. I’ve heard from a lot of people that they think the show is more so for young teens, but I am 25, male, work a very stressful job, and this show was perfect at the end/start of every week. Not too much drama (which I can’t handle because work stresses me out enough), not too edgy, very corny humour that isn’t over the top. It was very good and I enjoyed every second of it.

Memo to Rupert Murdoch and his boys:
I allowed your horrible media company to come to power. I can break you even faster.
It’s not wise to piss off the Devil. I suggest you reconsider cancelling this show.
gloria emmons says
Lucifer gone so will Fox viewers
P. Reeves says
Love this show, it’s my favourite. Someone has made a very bad decision to cancel it. Season 4 had so much story to tell and possibilities. FOX, please reconsider. Initially it was renewed, what happened?
Vern Bloomquist says
Very disappointed to see the end of this entertaining show. No doubt it was a financial issue as edgy shows like this often have trouble getting advertising support and without sufficient cash flow for the network, the end comes even if the show is top notch. Way too many cheap entertainment programs (cheap to produce, cheap to staff, etc.) like singing with the stars, dancing with the stars, walking with the stars, swimming with the stars, etc., etc., etc.
Melodie says
I’m beginning to wonder why any of us bother to watch t.v Its all going to be cancelled even if it is a awesome show. I hate that Lucifer was cancelled when it was.It was just getting interesting again
tina says
this is horrible!!!! Lucifer one of the few good shows of today.
S. Nicholls says
I loved Lucifer. Was looking forward to next season now that Cloe has seen the truth. And I’m not a kid! I’m a senior. Lucifer had just enough edge to keep me interested, not so much that it would put me off.
Caroline says
Lucifer should NOT be cancelled! For the life of me, I cannot understand why such a great, entertaining show is cancelled and the crappy shows remain! PLEASE BRING BACK LUCIFER!!
Lucifer S04 says
I still hope they will change mind on canceling that great show.If they wish to get more attention need to start mixing some old history and show more God chosen chareters.Yes it was nice to see some at them but to keep intence needs more upward and down storylines…
Giovanna says
There needs to be an update to this blog, the showed has been saved by Netflix, they start production in August 2018, expected to wrap production around December 2018, and looking to be released in early 2019…yay!
