Calling all Lucifans, are you ready for a heck of a social-media storm on Monday night? We hope so, as we’re gearing up for a pair of Lucifer episodes that may be more important than any other. We know that it’s Memorial Day, and we know that someone else in your house may be desperate to watch The Bachelorette premiere instead. Not that we’d offer this advice most of them, but hide the remote if need be! The show needs your viewership on Fox Monday night starting at 8:00 p.m. Eastern time. There are two “bonus episodes” that are airing — really, they would have been in season 4 — and the more viewers these get, the higher the chances that another network/streaming provider will pick the series up.

So what can you do to ensure that the show gets the most attention possible? We think that show executive producer Joe Henderson has the right strategy — check out all of the tweets at the bottom of this article for the plan in his words!

Watch live – That is essential. If you know someone with a Nielsen box, absolutely make sure that they’re watching. We have to make the outdated system of ratings measurement work for us in order to get the show back. There’s a danger of lower ratings just because A) it’s a holiday and B) there may be some casual fans who have no idea the show’s even back. Fox isn’t exactly working overtime promoting the show. If you’re able to watch via YouTube Live or Hulu Live, those also count towards Nielsen ratings.

Tell all of your friends – Seriously, even if they haven’t seen Lucifer before, ask them to watch as a favor. Bake them cookies or something in return. Tell them they’ll have a devilishly good time. Since these episodes are largely standalone, it’ll be easier for them to keep track with what is going on.

Social media strategy – This time around, the two hashtags to use are #Lucifer and also #SaveLucifer. Note that this is slightly different than in the past — even if it doesn’t trend, the more impressions these two hashtags get, the better it is.

Ultimately, there may be interested parties out there to pick up Lucifer, but they may need a little bit of extra convincing. That is where all Lucifans come into play. This may be one of the longest and most intensive social media campaigns to save a show ever, and we desperately want to see it pay off with good news at the end.

Tomorrow night: the last two episodes of Lucifer… EVER? We’ll see – make your voices heard, Lucifans. Please watch LIVE and use #Lucifer and #SaveLucifer this time — Joe Henderson (@Henderson_Joe) May 27, 2018

This is our last chance to show what our fandom is capable of. US viewers in particular, if you can watch live, the ratings will be a huge signal to send to a new potential home. #Lucifer #SaveLucifer — Joe Henderson (@Henderson_Joe) May 27, 2018

Also Lucifans, if you watch on Hulu Live or YOUTubeLive, I'm told your views count towards Nielsen ratings! #Lucifer #SaveLucifer — Joe Henderson (@Henderson_Joe) May 27, 2018
