We Want To See ‘Lucifer’ Renewed!

UPDATE
– Netflix has picked up Lucifer for a fourth season! Check out the news here! (16/6/18)
– Amazon Studios are currently in talks about whether they are interested in resurrecting the show! (12/6/18)

People like to tell me things. Those deep, dark, naughty, little desires that are on their minds.

So tell us, what is it that you really desire? What does your little fan heart truly desire?

Are you part of the #SaveLucifer campaign? If you love or like this show then you have to be! Unfortunately a couple of weeks ago FOX decided to cancel Lucifer, which is loved by fans worldwide. Of course the fans started to express their anger about the cancellation and so #SaveLucifer and #RenewLucifer began trending worldwide.

I’ve just been trying to tweet my thanks about your overwhelming response and I can’t because my twitter keeps crashing on my phone. #lucifer is trending #1 worldwide.😳 😈

According to the FOX chairman Gary Newman, it was “a ratings-based decision […] We felt like performance-wise, we needed to make that change.” So this means that the other FOX drama shows had better ratings causing them to be renewed such as Gotham, which is being given a final short season to finish the series off properly. Unfortunately Lucifer fans have to live with a terrible cliffhanger and many unanswered questions.

People don’t arrive broken. They start with passion and yearning till something comes along that disabuses them of those notions.

You might think, “Well, they come and they go. Why are people so invested in saving one little TV show?”

Nowadays it’s rare that a TV show is as good as Lucifer. Every episode was interesting, fun, and didn’t seem repetitive. We see reboot after reboot, but what about some fresh ideas with interesting characters? Of course it’s not easy to write a story when so many supernatural, crime and drama TV shows already made. At some point, they can start to seem like they’re just telling the same story.

So what’s so good about Lucifer? The series tells the story of Lucifer Morningstar—the fallen angel and king of hell—who has had enough of punishing people and wants to be among them instead. He buys a club in LA called Lux and lives in the decadent penthouse about it.

Lucifer (played by Tom Ellis) is not interested in any godly affairs and not even his brother Amenadiel (D.B Woodside) can convince him to return to hell and his duty. Luci did not leave hell alone with Mazikeen (Lesley-Ann Brandt) by his side as not only his kick-ass bodyguard, but also his bartender.

Lucifer (played by Tom Ellis) is not interested in any godly affairs and not even his brother Amenadiel (D.B. Woodside) can convince him to return to hell and follow his duty. Luci did not leave hell alone. His leading demon Mazikeen (Lesley-Ann Brandt) came with him to earth and is not only his bodyguard but also his bartender. After a friend of his gets killed, he meets Detective Chloe Dekker (Lauren German) and her colleague and ex-husband Dan (Kevin Alejandro).

Lucifer may not be in hell anymore, but he still has his angelic yet devilish power in him and he can compel humans into telling him what they most desire. This leads to Lucifer becoming a police consultant and he starts to work with Chloe on various cases. That being said, Lucifer certainly has some major daddy issues and he finally faces those when he starts to go to therapy with Dr Linda Martin (Rachael Harris).

The series is based on the Sandman comics published by Vertigo Comics and written by Neil Gaiman, Sam Keith and Mike Dringenberg. The comics are telling the story of Dream (or Morpheus) who is one of the seven Endless, which also includes Destiny, Death, Desire, Despair, Delirium and Destruction. The comic series is famous for Gaiman’s “anthropomorphic personification and metaphysical entities combined with mythology and history in a horror setting”. Back in 2013, WB obtained the rights for a movie adaptation starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

The character of Lucifer started as a side character who quickly became a fan favourite and therefore he received his own spin-off comic written by Mike Carey. In the comics, Lucifer has a piano bar and he’s interested in exploring the free will of humans.

You cruel manipulative bastard. This is all part of your plan it’s all just a game to you isn’t it?

Hey, well, I know punishment and he did not deserve that he followed just stupid rules and still wasn’t good enough so what does it take to please you? Break your rules and you fall. Follow them and you still lose. Doesn’t matter whether you’re a sinner, doesn’t matter whether you’re a saint. Nobody can win so what’s the point? What’s the bloody point? – (Source)

We all know how it was written in the Bible and the stories surrounding him with Lucifer rejected by God for questioning his love for human beings and cast out of heaven. He then became the King of Hell and punishes souls of those who have not been good on Earth. So essentially, the devil is pure evil and you better not cross his path! But is he truly? Maybe he is just misunderstood or maybe all he wanted was just some attention from his father…

This is exactly what the show explores with the devil as the charming guy from next door and not interested in hurting you?

Filled with the supernatural, crime, comedy, romance and some great music, we see a devil who likes to party with no problem with being bisexual and lives for free will. All Lucifer wants is to be accepted—by his father, his brothers and sisters, his new human friends. So you actually can be friends with the devil and you may even start to love him. The show give you the possibility to explore this thought.

One of the core plot lines is the relationship of the angelic family. The only family member who is in constant contact with him is his brother Amenadiel. They may be thousands of years old, but still they cannot live without each other. They have a strong bond despite not wanting to admit it. The big elephant in the room is: what are Gods plans for Lucifer? Why did he not come to Lucifer and clear all the misunderstanding between them?

Lucifer is a TV show that does well in combining different genres to create an innovative new story. Featuring a great cast who supports one another with a strong love for the characters they play.

That’s a wrap! On Season 3 ONLY!! Xo ❤😈 #lucifer #RenewLucifer pic.twitter.com/0jJFmILNrj

If FOX does not answer to the #SaveLucifer movement then could it be picked up by another network?

The CW already has a lot of comic book TV shows on their schedule and Lucifer would fit perfectly. They somewhat saved Constantine after NBC cancelled the series after one season by giving him a few episodes in Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow. However, The CW released a statement that they won’t be picking up the series.

Netflix? Sure, a great idea and fingers crossed that they are already in contact with the people in charge. Outside the USA, Amazon Prime had the rights to show Lucifer a day after airing in America so maybe they could take it over completely.

So let’s all channel Ella Lopez (played by Aimee Garcia) and hashtag like crazy until your phone burns up and then just change to your laptop, tablet and so forth.

Because, let’s be honest: Who does not need a singing and piano playing devil in his life?
