Welsh actor Tom Ellis dropped the biggest hint Lucifer would make a comeback after fans rallied around the show when it was axed by FOX. Tom, who plays the lead character in the dark series, teased the revival of the show and suggested it would be released on streaming services. Speaking about the possibly of Lucifer moving online, he explained: “Warner Bros are an independent studio so there are other places we can take it and those are potentially exciting places. “All I’m saying is watch this space.” He continued: “I’m not in a place to talk about conversations that are or are not happening all I know is that a conversation has been sparked like this, but an obvious place would be somewhere like that [streaming services].”

Since FOX announced Lucifer had been cancelled fans of the show have taken to social media to protest the network’s decision. Tom, 39, said he was overwhelmed by the public reaction and admitted he was shocked when he found out the programme had got the chop. “The weird thing is I am back in LA because of the response [from fans] I was sort of crushed when I heard the news,” he confessed. “I didn’t really know what to do with it and when the news broke I was absolutely bowled over by the response and it’s continued it’s not been like a one off thing.” During an interview on BBC Newsnight Tom told host Emily Maitlis, 47, he was inspired by the fans to try and bring Lucifer back.

He said: “It’s kind of encouraged not only myself but the people who make the show - Warner Bros - to try and find a home for it because it feels such a shame that so many people feel it has finished so abruptly.” However, Tom acknowledged the choice made by FOX to drop the series, saying: “At the core of all of these decisions it’s business and if a show isn’t doing the right business for a network they have every right to cancel it. “It’s very easy for people to turn their attention to FOX and have a go at them. “I like to thank FOX for three years of having a great opportunity to do this show.” Explaining further, he said: “It just obviously didn’t make sense for them to continue doing it for whatever reason, but obviously the people that get left out of the equation are the fans.
