“For instance, if that Carrie Underwood show would have happened-as much as I loved it-I wouldn’t have done Lucifer.
“I don’t believe in the adage about ‘everything happens for a reason,’ but I do believe the one about making lemonade out of lemons” she says of joining the show after a passion project based on the interpretation of a Carrie Underwood lyric fell apart. “Doesn’t everyone have a bit of fear in them?” asks co-showrunner Ildy Modrovich. The show’s popularity continues to break streaming records even after the series has ended. What was supposed to be a final fifth 10-episode season got extended to 16-episodes, then the streaming overlords proposed a surprise extension for a sixth-and very final- series finale just as they were wrapping up their original season five conclusion. Season Five was written and directed as its series conclusion, but in the midst of wrapping up the series, Netflix coerced the showrunners into making one last deal with the Devil. Fans took to social media by the millions with #SaveLucifer gaining attention from, and ultimately being saved by Netflix, which offered Lucifer a two-season extension. Though the show had steady views but was not as popular as others in its genre at the time ( Grimm, Sleepy Hollow), it still came as a shock to loyal viewers when in 2018 Fox, Lucifer’s first home, cancelled it just after three seasons-and on a big cliffhanger, no less. The uniquely fraught road to get Lucifer to the end of his journey is intrinsically intertwined with the show’s sudden premature cancellation from Fox in 2018 and a rowdy social media campaign to resurrect the show at Netflix, its present home. And we fought to give them the ending that they deserved.”
“You can have a show that airs for six seasons that people just watch or a show that people fought tooth and nail to get the ending they wanted. “I’m proud of the fact that we have a show that has the weirdest track ever,” says Lucifer co-showrunner Joe Henderson says.
