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.
You’re really in to TV.
Jesus sometimes taught in parables, and usually when he did, this is explicitly indicated in the text; the particular passage I quoted was not a parable, though, nor or numerous others that discuss the topic. I am disagreeing, not intending to be disrespectful.
What did Thomas Jefferson have in his bible.
If you understand the bible, you understand there is no redemption for any soul banished to hell. Otherwise there is no point in having hell.
There are various Christian religions that interpret scriptures differently. Some as rote… word for word, others as different forms of symbolism, analogy. When you say “understand the Bible” you have to know that there are many interpretations.
Yup
I didn’t know this was Gaiman. He is prolific.
Gaiman grew up in a Scientology family.
The bible is written, rewritten by man over the millennia to suit the political needs of kings and the various denominations. King James and his advisors were no more inspired by God than were the various leaders of the Reformation.
The bible should be read and understood for the basic messages of good and how you live your life in faith. Literal interpretations, however founded in historic facts, have been interpreted in the context of the times and the men in power in both the temporal and spiritual worlds.
Telling someone they are going to hell if they don’t believe the doctrine you adhere to is no better than a Muslim telling you must convert or die.
Believe in and have faith in the doctrines you want to but don’t tie your beliefs to every thing and everybody in the world around you.
We will agree to disagree.

I don’t watch it
I'd be surprised if NetFlix doesn't revive or reboot other defunct shows. Thanks AdmSmith.

Have you watched The Good Place on Netflix?
fun
Nope, haven’t watched it. I don’t care for comedies, and I don’t like Ted Danson.
Not my favorite actor,
not a haha comedy
But it works. More a meditation on good and evil.
Just binge watched the entire fourth season on Netflix. Definitely worth the wait. One hell of a surprise ending for the series.
