The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Netflix revived the fantasy police procedural series from DC Entertainment for season 4 after Fox canceled the show in May.
This is not the first time that the entertainment streaming giant saved a canceled series that originally came from the Time Warner-owned studio. Previously, Netflix saved "Longmire" after A&E canceled the Western-themed procedural drama.
"Lucifer" is also the second Fox TV series that was given another chance for the upcoming fall season. Recently, the fan-favorite comedy sitcom "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" was saved by NBC and was greenlit for season 6.
Details about the plans for "Lucifer" season 6 remain under wraps, including the number of episodes that the upcoming season will contain.
The streaming service giant is also expected to announce the official release date of "Lucifer" season 4 in the coming days.
