Lucifer has been cancelled by FOX after three seasons and it's highly unlikely the network will change its mind on the decision now that it’s been formally announced.

FOX chairman Gary Newman broke his silence about dropping Lucifer, explaining it was “a ratings-based decision; we had very a successful late year with all four new dramas renewed”.

He added to US entertainment site Deadline: “We felt like performance-wise, we needed to make that change.”

As Lucifer languishes in television purgatory, there’s still hope that the show could find a new home.

There has been much hope after lead star Tom Ellis recently revealed that talks were taking place.

However, he stressed that it was up to the fans to keep campaigning and maintain the momentum.
