Netflix resurrected the series when Fox cancelled it following its third season. A massive #SaveLucifer campaign by fans is credited with getting Netflix on board to pick up the series.
Season four premiered on May 8, 2019 and quickly shot to the top of the streaming service’s most popular offerings.
The Lucifer Season 4 Plot:
“On May 8, 2019, all hell breaks loose (again!) when Netflix premieres Season 4 of Lucifer, the cult-favorite, fantasy comedy-drama about fallen angel and ex-Lord of Hell, Lucifer Morningstar, a Los Angeles nightclub owner who expertly deploys his devil-may-care attitude while moonlighting as an LAPD consultant.
Reeling from the aftermath of Chloe seeing his devil face, Lucifer faces a new challenge: Eve, the original sinner herself, is back. Does she want revenge for when he tempted her out of Eden oh so many years ago… or something else entirely?”
