Lucifer was one of the shows that we’re put on the chopping block after its third season. We say was as Netflix just picked up the show from Fox. Lucifer’s official Twitter account has confirmed the news. While the show wasn’t a major ratings hit for Fox, its fans wouldn’t take the cancellation lying down, especially with a cliffhanger for an ending in its third season. Now, at least we know the show is coming back for a fourth season. We don’t know yet how many episodes or when it’ll air but we’ll keep you updated when we learn more.
