Surprised they are looking at Designated Survivor as well - thought that was a series that run its course in season 1 then just became a play it by numbers political thriller

RobbingBandit

Wooooooooo hoooo

fritzelly

Anyone know their history with show formats?

CastorTroy

Great news! I'm assuming it'll go the netflix format instead of weekly now.

With amazon showing it over here I thought they would be the ones likely to invest.

Netflix already has designated survivor in the uk and Ireland just not in the states, the network that aired it in the states dumped it for good reason, it’s very poor

Pleased about lucifer it’s easy watching and has some good episodes

Netflix do have a few things they show weekly
Shooter is one that I remember

Yeah but thats more about syndication or whatever word they use for it now and not a Netflix produced series - be very surprised if they pick up DS, only continued to watch it because...I'm not actually sure why, maybe expecting Keifer to go full on 24 but maybe there's hopes for another 24 now after that other abysmal effort.

RobbingBandit

Great news hopefully Netflix will issue it weekly when the time comes or perhaps a half season drop in October and then the other half in January maybe important thing is the show is saved.

Yeah - doesn't need to be binged like Daredevil since its episodic

jigglypuffstuff

Yes!!! Made my day so happy!!

That's due to them airing it as it airs on the USA Network in the States. Like Riverdale, iZombie and others, they're not made by Netflix and are just shown by Netflix over here.
Only Netflix made series I can think of that airs weekly is the Joel McHale Show.

RobbingBandit

Hoping Netflix throws money at this now we need to see God versus Lucifer face to face on screen that will be worth 1m new subscriptions. I am really hoping God does at least one appearance.

CastorTroy

The question I have, and it's the same for all these saved shows, is Will they treat this as a final season, using these 10 episodes to wrap things up or will they plan to continue?
As much as I would like it to keep going, I wouldn't want it to suddenly get cancelled again.

If it gets viewers there's no reason for it to be a last season - Netflix do this to get viewers on a long term plan so if they didn't think it was a long term money maker they wouldn't have taken it on (probably a lot to do with viewership in the UK/Ireland and other territories as well since it is very popular outside the US, Lucifer that is)

Delighted to hear this. I'm not surprised though, I had a feeling that Netflix was going to go straight for it when it was cancelled. The huge international fan base especially south America where Netflix have been trying to expand into, a cult following that would easily transfer into new subscriptions or retain old subscribers who might have been hoping for a pickup and a lead man who makes advertising very easy because of his looks and charm. Made perfect sense really.

My main question is now that it is not on prime time network TV will they go darker with more cursing and gore like Tom Ellis was hoping for? It always seemed a little strange to have a show about the Devil be so tame and family friendly.

A lot of fans were calling for it go darker and I'd be happy with that as long as it kept the quips and humor - not exactly light humoured to start with anyway with a murder every episode lol

CastorTroy

No need to go darker and risk upsetting the fans that campaigned for it. Like how dark/edgy are you talking? Like I'm all for the Chloe/Maze/Ella threesome, but not at the expense of the show. Well, maybe, but you know what I mean You want Lucifer to suddenly become The Punisher? Show Maze actually torturing someone? Those kinds of things can turn fans against the characters.

Definitely want to avoid cursing. It's okay in a show starting out like Banshee, but just adding it to a show later because they can is very jarring. I know it wasn't great anyway, but one thing I didn't like about the Dead Like Me movie was George and the others cursing. Was just unlike the characters I knew.

Then there are shows like Star Trek Discovery where Star Trek fans complained about it being dark and having swearing and trying to be too edgy.

But I think one way they can do it is by bringing in more mythology. Like Lucifer has been on Earth how long? Who has been looking after hell all that time? Will they send demons to Earth to fight Lucifer?

fritzelly

Fans were saying it was too light hearted and not like the comics - could very easily become a bit darker and still be the same show but remember this is the Devil
We only really see the dark side when he shows his devil face (and its more a passing thing) but maybe if he became a bit darker and was trying to fight that dark side of himself vs the love for Chloe it would make for a better show.
Think that passive/aggressive side (or should I say fighting the inner 'demons') was more evident in the last season

J. Marston

Will Netflix get all the previous seasons too or just the new season?

aine1980

Great news, might actually get a netflix sub now!

Clareman

WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

EoinMcLovin

Mr E

More likely to see Tom's Bum. :pac:



Don't think Chloe is particularly hot. Those eyebrows, and she looks unhealthy to me. Like drug dependency unhealthy.


Probably see more flesh from randomers.

RobbingBandit

More gore wooooooooo hoooooo nudity wooooooooo hooooooooooooooooooooooo

any more news on Neil Gaiman involvement or a potential air date yet?

fritzelly

Said it earlier in the thread about fans wanting it darker and it's come true yippee

Not sure about Tom's butt but Mazikeen...hmmm, viewership would be thru the roof!

RobbingBandit

Maze torturing the goddess of all creation or someone like Hitler would be a good flashback scene, the emphasis on an individuals own hell loop was a twisted representation of all hell stands for in the reality of the show.

Let me tell you about a show called Spartacus

Potential-Monke

I did not make that connection until now. Thank you CastorTroy!

A bit more dark will be welcome, but as long as they don't completely change the show, it should work well! Maybe him starting to curse could indicate a fall into insanity or something, whereas I'd imagine Chloe will never curse!

And that is how you do a promo! Hyped!

OmegaGene

Very clever promo, hats off to Netflix for that and picking up the series

fritzelly

When's it due anyone know

Potential-Monke

Spring 2019 is the last update I heard, but I'd imagine with the above promo we'll get a trailer and date soon.

Biggest upgrade so far by going to netflix are Chloes hair extensions. Suits her.

RobbingBandit

Looking forward to it coming back hope Chloe has a much shorter Netflix robe

Mr E

These guys are on the ball.

Nothing new in there for those who's watched it to date but a good summation to get new people to watch it and draw in an audience.

Yeah exactly. I wonder will Netflix release the previous seasons here

RobbingBandit

Think Amazon prime has UK rights so probably them for season 1-3

Yeah checked just watch and first three seasons are on prime video in UK and is not available here. Would have thought Netflix would own the rights for the other seasons seeing as they will be airing season 4

CastorTroy

I can see it being more supernaturally than previous seasons.

I hope you don’t mean it’s going to be like supernatural the series
Jaysus that’s pure tripe

CastorTroy

I was waiting for that. Was gonna state not the series. I just mean it'll be more mythology based, especially with the new character

Potential-Monke

We need a release date! Hyped for this.

Mr E

May 8th....
