10 Beloved TV Shows SAVED By Fans

10. Lucifer

Based on a lesser-known character from DC Comics, Lucifer was a show that got off to a pretty turbulent start.

Premiering on Fox, the show follows Lucifer Morningstar, the Devil, as he trades his throne in Hell for a nightclub in L.A. After all, they can't be all that different, can they?

After three seasons of consistently low ratings, Fox made the decision to axe Lucifer, but the show's die-hard fans weren't willing to take it lying down.

Showrunner Joe Henderson decided to end the third season on a "huge cliffhanger", then encouraged the show's fans to rally behind the hashtag #SaveLucifer.

An online petition soon began circulating, too, and this social media campaigning was enough to spark interest from both Netflix and Amazon. Netflix won the rights to the show, and Lucifer is now well into its fifth season.

The show's sixth season will reportedly be its last, meaning that the fans' campaign was enough to double the show's lifespan - although they had previously said that the fifth would be the last, so can we really take Netflix's word for it?
