Another show’s fan base is calling for resurrection after cancellation.
Fox announced Friday that drama “Lucifer” is cancelled after three seasons, a decision that showrunner Joe Henderson said “f—ing hurts.”
“Heartbreaking doesn’t begin to describe,” he added.
Henderson encouraged fans to tweet with the hashtag #SaveLucifer, which started trending on the social media platform on Friday afternoon.
“By the way, the #Lucifer finale is the best hour of television I’ve been lucky to write,” he continued. “It wraps up everything from the season. But what it teases for Season 4… well, maybe, just maybe, we can #SaveLucifer and show you.”
So… yeah. #Lucifer has been cancelled. And it fucking HURTS. I loved this show so damn much and everyone put their heart and soul into it. Heartbreaking doesn't begin to describe.

For people asking what to do… MAKE NOISE. I have no idea if we have a shot of coming back, but I know sure as anything that everyone wants to. We have so many more stories to tell. #Lucifer

We created a season finale with a huge cliffhanger so that there was no way Fox could cancel us. Instead, we're going to frustrate the hell out of you fans. I'm so sorry for that. #Lucifer

Star Tom Ellis said he was “gutted” by the cancellation news, and said the Twitter app on his phone kept crashing because of the outpouring of support from fans.

Writer Ildy Modrovich echoed Ellis and Henderson, saying she was “heartbroken, shocked and devastated over the news” and chimed in with her support of the #SaveLucifer hashtag.
I’m heartbroken, shocked and devastated over the news that our beloved show has been cancelled. All I can say is we love YOU for watching, supporting and loving #Lucifer for these past few seasons. Funny that a show about the devil has been nothing short of heaven. ❤️??

Star Lesley-Ann Brandt spoke up on social media, too.
“For the last 3 years I’ve had the privilege of working on Lucifer with some of the most incredible people in this industry,” she said in an Instagram post. “Being your Mazikeen has been so very special to me for so many reasons.”
