What a feat — two canceled Fox shows this year made the No. 1 trending topic on Twitter, and now both have found new homes.
Netflix has made a deal for comic book drama Lucifer, which will become a Netflix original starting with its upcoming fourth season. The Tom Ellis–starring Lucifer joins cult canceled comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which landed at NBC after the Fox cancellation.
Netflix’s pickup decision comes just as the options on the Lucifer cast were about to expire at the end of day today. It follows a big #SaveLucifer campaign that has stayed in the social media conversation for the past month.
Buoyed by strong fan support, Lucifer producer Warner Bros. TV started shopping the series to steaming services and premium cable networks immediately after its cancellation more than a month ago.
There were multiple interested buyers, including Netflix and rival Amazon. It took time for a deal to be ironed out because the US SVOD rights to the first three seasons of Lucifer are owned by Hulu. Further complicating the situation is the fact that Lucifer is carried by different networks/platforms in different international markets. For instance, Amazon has it in the UK and Germany, which drove the company’s interest in the series. I hear Lucifer now is expected to be on Netflix in the UK as the streaming company tries to clear the show in a as many territories as it can.
Netflix also had been in conversations to pick up another canceled broadcast drama, Designated Survivor. Overall, it’s been a very strong season for canceled shows, with The Expanse finding a new home on Amazon shortly after its cancellation by Syfy.
This marks the first DC series on Netflix, which has a big Marvel universe drama series franchise.
Lucifer, based on the comic book characters created by Neil Gaiman for DC’s Vertigo Imprint, Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg for Vertigo, stars Ellis, Lauren German, Rachael Harris, DB Woodside, Lesley-Ann Brandt, Aimee Garcia, Tricia Helfer, Scarlett Estevez and Kevin Alejandro.
The story of the original fallen angel continued in Season 3, with the charming, charismatic and devilishly handsome Lord of Hell, Lucifer Morningstar (Ellis), helping LAPD detective Chloe Decker (German) take down criminals.
Lucifer is produced by WBTV in association with Jerry Bruckheimer Television. The series is executive-produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, Jonathan Littman, Joe Henderson, Ildy Modrovich, Sheri Elwood and KristieAnne Reed.
Possibly the best space ship based sci-fi show ever. The idiots over at fox should have been fired…and they were…eventually.
I believe that there is real evil in the world as well. You can’t dispute the notion that sometimes people just want to see the world burn.
However Lucifer in the DC/TV world is a punisher of evil, not a source of evil.
It’s as much a tale about good and evil as the Justice League and Avengers are about evolution.
And with that attitude he’ll get the last laugh on you.
1 Peter 5:8
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
“I’m still unhappy about the cancellation of Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles”
Me too!
Don’t be a twit. Sounds like you’ve never watched it.
In the show, Lucifer is saved in a manner of speaking. The message of redemption is spread throughout the series.
Give it a rest. Be truthful now, you were really hard up after the Harry Potter shit went nowhere, weren’t you?
Wonderful news!
I haven't heard of that show. I will check it out!
Lol.
Moron.
I thoroughly enjoy The Lord of the Rings, but that doesn't mean I worship Gandalf.
It's fantasy.
So in that sense, the devil isn't portrayed negatively in this show. But evil/sinful acts by humans are treated negatively.
I can certainly think of worse shows from a morality standpoint.
And if I can go off on a tangent here, The Simpsons were often bashed. But it is hard to find a show where a family goes to church each Sunday, and is shown going to church. Some people get in a twist about shows like Lucifer or The Simpsons, but they are the rare show that has religious themes or storylines.
Good news

Yeah, I’m sure Satan and his demons are rejoicing.
Sigh.....so pathetic in thy self-righteousness....
These, to me, are parables, used to make a point about good and evil. (There are real devils, Stalin, Hitler, Manson etc)
But I respect your beliefs. Please don’t poo poo mine.
Only in Hollywood, there is no chance for the real Lucifer to find redemption.
It’s a story, not different from “The Devil and Daniel Webster”.
There is a positive message throughout the series that applies to humankind. If the devil can find redemption and come to understand love then why can’t we.
Did God tell you that his fallen angels have no chance at redemption? Do you have a direct line to the mind of God?
It’s a Hollywood story on TV, not a newly discovered piece of scripture. Get over it.
