'SaveLucifer' Trends After Fox Cancels Fan Favorite: Can It Be Saved?
Nooo! That sound you hear is fans mourning as "Lucifer" joins the heap of newly canceled shows.
Series creator showrunner Joe Henderson took to Twitter to voice his disappointment at Fox's decision -- and to apologize for the way the show is now going to end: With a cliffhanger.
"We created a season finale with a huge cliffhanger so that there was no way Fox could cancel us," he tweeted. "Instead, we're going to frustrate the hell out of you fans. I'm so sorry for that."
Still, Henderson called the finale "the best hour of television I've been lucky to write" and held out hopes that another network (hello, Netflix) might pick up the show. "Maybe, just maybe, we can #SaveLucifer."
By the way, the #Lucifer finale is the best hour of television I've been lucky to write. It wraps up everything from the season. But what it teases for season 4... well, maybe, just maybe, we can #SaveLucifer and show you.

Maybe. "#SaveLucifer" began trending worldwide, with more than 36,000 tweets as star Tom Ellis shared. So many tweets, in fact, that it crashed his phone.
