Tom Ellis has spoken out on Lucifer season 4 just one week after the TV network FOX announced the show’s cancellation, it has been reported. The 39-year-old actor, who plays the lead character in the drama series, dropped the biggest hint that Lucifer would return for a fourth season. Speaking about a conversation he had with American producer Jerry Bruckheimer, 74, Tom explained: “He called me at the weekend and said I just want you to know that I’m as gutted as everyone else. “I really loved watching the show and I’m determined to find a new home for it.” During an appearance on US show KTLA 5, Tom admitted he was shocked when he found out FOX had dropped Lucifer.

He began: “I was in Rome, I had just finished at a friendly convention, which was weird because I had been in a room full of love of people saying how much they loved the show. “Then I got a call saying it was cancelled, the rug had been pulled from under my feet and then 24 hours later it was announced.” “And then this tsunami of love started pouring in from people incredulous about this decision and wondering why, and just sort of saying how much they loved the show." When FOX confirmed the cancelation of Lucifer, fans went into overdrive on social media and now #SaveLucifer and #PickUPLucifer are both trending on Twitter. The medium has demonstrated viewers appreciation of the show Tom explained, saying: “In the past I would have got a call like that, licked my wounds for a few days and then carried on.

“But I think social media now has opened up a platform for people to express how they really feel about shows. “Rather than just facts and figures saying whose watching and how many people are watching. “It’s about how they [fans] feel about what’s in the content.” He added: “Also TV has changed a lot and people find a way to watch a programme they want to watch, where they want to watch and how they want to watch it.” Despite FOX choosing to end Lucifer, Tom said he has no ill feelings towards the company and is grateful to have had the opportunity.
