It should come as no big surprise to the fandom, but Lucifer has officially been named the most-watched streaming series of 2019.
What are FOX executives thinking now after they made the unpopular decision to cancel the show last year?
Netflix didn’t waste much time in picking the series up, and it’s paid dividends for them.
TV Time highlighted the 20 most popular shows on streaming services, and the devil came out on top.
Here are the Top 20 in order:
Of the series listed, all but one are on Netflix: Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale.
Lucifer’s co-showrunner Joe Henderson was quick to tweet out the news:
So, uh, this is a pretty cool list! Look who's #1 😈 #Lucifer pic.twitter.com/6rW6sfsqDe

Lucifer himself, Tom Ellis, responded, “What are the chances?”
Well what are the chances? ✊🏼😈 #lucifer https://t.co/v0ze2lF2ut

Lucifer has been at the top of the Netflix charts since Season 4 dropped back in May.
It held Binge Report’s top spot for about two months.
That broke the record previously set by Game of Thrones.
According to eMarketer, over 75% of worldwide video consumption currently occurs on mobile devices and is poised to grow.
The desire for entertainment on the go is only going to grow as people continue to binge-watch their favorite shows as they go about their daily lives.
Lucifer returns for season 5 in 2020.
The season will be split into two parts.
And yet Netflix hasn’t seen the light to allow Lucifer to continue beyond season 5a/b. Its getting to be too late for them to change their minds and let Lucifer continue for more season’s. I hope someone comes to their senses to allow Lucifer more than just 5 season’s. At this point the writers haven’t written the grand finale as far as I know. I’m just an average fan of the series, so don’t know what they have in mind. I can only hope Netflix will change their mind or another streaming service is waiting in the shadows to snap it up. It would be a shame for this series to end and die while its on a roll. Maybe Warner Bros. will stream it once their streaming service gets going. Now that would be a nice surprise! The actors are all young enough to go another 5 season’s if given the chance and I think they were as sad and disappointed when they got the news from Netflix season 5 was to be the last. @Netflix you broke millions of hearts including Lucifer’s cast and crew et al.
