❤️ Tom Ellis’ new film ‘Players’ comes out Valentines Day on Netflix (save the date!)
Tom Ellis (Lucifer, Miranda) joins us this week to give his uniquely ironic experience in this industry - going from growing up in a family of baptist ministers to playing the lead in the hit series Lucifer. Tom talks about overcoming impostor syndrome while filming certain episodes and shares the crazy story of how a rogue tweet helped save the show from being cancelled. We also talk about adopting an American dialect, his background in theater with James McAvoy, and his issue with actors using social media.

Brilliant Move That TOM ELLIS Made to Save LUCIFER From Being Canceled #insideofyou #tomellis #lucifer - Розваги
I was at an elevator and heard a teenage girl telling her father: "If Lucifer can go to a therapist, I might as well give it a shot". Simply amazing.
so LA
Im glad the show impacted someone positively❤
worst mistake of her life
@@shathaan1763how so
@@shathaan1763 you're dense
"Were they pissed?"
"I don't fucking care."
Dear GOD, I aspire to that level of confidence. A+. No notes.
No therapist spirit filled guy
We all can do it
Nope
I wouldn't say it was about confidence.
They literally fired him by ending the show, he heard they wanted to bury the news with the announcement of something else.
Ofc he didn't care if they were mad at him for announcing the cancelation of the show.
I'm not saying he's not confidence, could be, don't have to be, but his confidence didn't matter at that moment.
Yeah, that wasn't confidence that was f**k it. That was righteous fury and indignation. @@MikaeruDaiTenshi
"detective douche" will forever stay with me 🤣🤣

Agreed!
"Detective!"
Done, now you can't hear it in anyone else's voice but Tom Ellis.
Same with, “What is it you truly desire?”
this is true.

Tom Ellis is up there with various other actors that were just made for their roles. Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow etc etc. And his performance as Lucifer made the show as a whole just better.
I think that's just because we get so used to people playing certain characters. Off the top of my head I'd say that Tom Hiddleston could play Lucifer very well.
he doens't got the looks or the psycho energy handsome energy that tom ellis naturally presents and has, also his face is beautiful@@davidkelly790
I agree!
Couldn't have worded it better, he made Lucifer, the Lucifer we love.
Not really, Tom's Lucifer is nothing like Vertigo's Lucifer.
He is a bad adaptation of the character, he is only a entertaining adaptation.
Go read the Lucifer comic By Mike Carey.
“See, the devil really does wear prada” so many great lines in this show, I was gutted when it was cancelled, fair play to them for getting it going again.
"Lucifer Morningstar? Is that a stage name?"
"God given, I'm afraid."
I thought it was kind of unfortunate that they didn't continue that alternate timeline episode for a few more episodes to see things play out. Then again, the way that alternate timelines tend to play out, that may have been for the best.
Having lex luthor and Lucifer just chatting and having a laugh is how I Imagine they also spend time on DC Universe
holy crap that's Mike Rosenbaum? I didn't recognize him
Oh shit. I didn't realise it was him. The years and the hair, the glasses disguise.
And he didn't even comment on Clark having a role on Lucifer's show lol
I met Tom twice (in 2 days) and he remembered my name, this man is such a down-to-earth human being and he cares about people.
I believe you. Most of the Brits I’ve met and worked with seemed to be Straight shooters!! I’m glad to know that it seems to be true!! 💕💕💕
He needs to play more roles like this in bigger projects. I'm usually not a fan of these types of shows but Lucifer was an amazing show and the charisma of Tom Ellis as Lucifer was unreal. Honestly some of the most perfect casting i've ever seen.
Every part in Lucifer was so well cast. What a uniquely creative, fascinating show! I loved it.
I honestly thought the show itself was a bit poorly written, but the concept was really funny and I loved Lucifer's role (his lines weren't poorly written :D). Some other characters were a bit uninspired, but I agree that this guy should play more roles, I don't think I've seen him anywhere else
@@carlosmspk Yea i agree it wasn't all that well written at some points. Some characters like rory just didn't make sense but got better over time because you were past the "wtf is this" part. Some episodes were downright bad but the main cast was great. But I'm sure there are more cocky self centered characters Tom Ellis could play in movies on the big screen. But maybe that's not what he wants :(
@@carlosmspk A bit like the movie " Little Nicky " turned into a series, only sans Adam Sandler's humor. MAYBE.
@@kepckatherinec805Agreed but Ella got really annoying. Almost ott cartoon character ish.
I love how they inserted the cancellation/saving thing in the series as a nod to the fans -
first with Lucifer's comment to Kinley "Vatican investigator? Sounds like a soon-to-be-cancelled tv show" (ep 4x03), then naming ep 4x09 "Save Lucifer", and of course the big brilliant dig at Fox in ep 5x15, where the fake psychic says she was "giving a reading to a programming exec at Fox" with Lucifer drily answering "Ugh, good luck with that"😂
I can't unhear his British accent on those lines
When Tom was asked if the studio was angry, his response of "I don't fucking care." is perfect. It is the same response I give to people about if my boss is happy with my decisions.
That attitude grows with age. And I'm all for it 😋
Tom Ellis had some of the best lines on TV. And he’s such a terrific actor.
Tom Ellis would make an awesome James Bond!
@@chrisnln1619I’ve been saying that for ages.
"DETECTIVE! It's puff, puff , PASS. NOT puff, puff, stomp angrily."
He may not want to admit it but he saved the series but also the fans helped also to be honest. So awesome
I think he acknowledged that when he said that millions of people around the world got on social media and were relentlessly posting about the show. And when the host said, “you single handedly did this” and he responded with, “well, no…”
@@tjavior Yes, the fans! ...but also the ppl at WB who worked behind the scenes when the saw the reaction of the fan base. It was probably quite a lot of work getting all of the legal stuff in order for Netflix to take over. Fox might have been able to just be petty about it too and prevent it if it had been done poorly. So, he singlehandedly started the movement that saved Lucifer, but many were involved in that movement.
@@tjavior Yeah, Tom gave us fans (Lucifans) the heads up without any permission from Fox because he was gutted for all of us. He knows without us fans watching, being passionate, and vocally expressing that we love what they do, there is no show. Tom knew that, gave us the heads up, then let us go crazy on all social media platforms and with signing petitions.
The whole show runners, cast and crew hyped us up, boosting our energies. It was absolutely insane how many tweets we collectively and single handedly posted.
It was entirely a team effort, and it got the attention it needed.🤘😈 💜
@@tjavior yeah, his comment made it clear that he might have started the ball rolling but there were plenty of other people working behind the scenes when they saw the fan reaction.
He didn't want to take credit for everything even though he was a huge part of saving the show.
Without his tweet noone would have found out in time. Without the fans keeping it going WB wouldn't have cared and without WB nothing would have happened.
Honestly there are few performances where you can't imagine anyone else ever playing that character and doing it justice, and Tom Ellis as Lucifer is one of them. The show just wouldn't work without him
Feel the same way I still watch it over on Netflix . So happy for that. Love love watching Tom Ellis..the show has a great cast.

Can you imagine if social media and twitter existed in the early 2000's and Nathan Fillion posted a similar tweet after Firefly got cancelled?
Lucifer was actually popular.
to be fair, ur not wrong.. but the reason firefly wasn't so popular as it was airing is because the network aired the TV show in mixed order, There is a bit of controversy as to why they did that, but yea firefly is amazing a cult hit and amazing, but sadly before it's time and sabotaged quite bad.. :(
A lot of good shows didn't make the early 2000's
Deadwood, Rome! both amazing shows canceled, but still worth watching like firefly
@@garenburnerchannel3936 I saw the first three episodes of Firefly. It's not good. The acting is average and the world building is fundamentally scientifically illiterate.
Deadwood had three seasons and ended because the show runner got a better job.
Back then Digg was twitter and there were relentless campaigns, which is ultimately why the movie came out. I never got in to Firefly but it was super clear to me that the fanbase (or marketeers...) were passionate about it, so I can only imagine the production costs were just too high to continue.
id never heard of firefly when i discovered firefly it was already cancelled they didnt even market firefly properly. the handling of firefly was dreadful its 100% a failure of Fox and its producers. such a shame it was great
To be fair, that is precisely what the Lucifer character would do 😂
Hmm no, Lucifer would go to the Fox guys, asked them what they truely desire, and then make a deal with them to continue the show. Or he'd just threaten them because he saw the cancelation as an insult.
Absolutely proud of him for making the move on his own and saying the show was canceled first before FOX did. Wise move which yielded the best results we could have asked for.
Sounds like he was in his Character. My first thought when he said he tweeted it out was, "well, that was a very Lucifer thing to do"
Even as a fan this was a show you didn't realize how large it was until they almost cancelled it. I put 90% of that on Tom Ellis, that's how amazing his portrayal of Lucifer Morningstar was.
They had a great cast, a great concept and generally great writing. I'm still trying to figure out how anybody over at Fox could have been dumb enough to think that the show didn't deserve a couple more seasons.
Tom is right, he didn't save the show, he gave everyone else the heads up (that tweet) so they could save it. In this instance it was the people that saved it
Yea, going with the idiom of snowballing, he threw the first snowball, and everyone else added snow to it until it was gigantic and crushed into someone continuing the show.
Lucifers starting a rebellion against the powers that be, who would have thought.
Yes, if a show isn't saved immediately like what wound up happening with Yes Dear being canceled and uncanceled between seasons, it can be very expensive to restart production and most of the key behind the scenes folks immediately go looking for work. If it's a show like Farscape where the sets are very expensive and very hard to repurpose it's effectively a fatal ending when the sets are destroyed. At least with Lucifer if the sets were destroyed, they were less unique to the show.
Resurrecting a cancelled network show and reviving it on a streaming service may be rare, but it’s not unheard of. The exact same thing happened with “The Expanse,” and for many of the same reasons. Both series were highly acclaimed and had passionate fans.
True. Both are exceptionally good shows though. Most "more mediocre" projects don't get that pick-me-up ;)
The expanse crew pulled a heist on Benzos the revive that show!!
Another show that I love that had been resurrected like this was 'Young Justice'. It got a second life thanks to everyone and then got cancelled again with the DC restructuring 😅. But I love every second of what we got of it🥹. Hopefully one day, they could end that amazing story.
Happened to Community but unfortunately the streaming service was Yahoo Stream 💀
@@maugdw Whoa. Speaking about a death sentence ;)
Michael Rosenbaum: "Were they pissed?"
Tom Ellis: "I don't f@$#ing care!"
Fair enough, mate😂👍
Even my aunt and uncle in their sixties in rural Norway loved Lucifer. It was kind of bizarre how wide of audience fell in love with that show. I dont think I have ever shared a love for a tv show with my aunt and uncle before as they usually dont like foreign tv shows at all.
Loved Lucifer. So glad Netflix picked it up and brought it back for a few more seasons.
Tom ellis singing "wicked game" tears a hole in my soul everytime
He made the character of Lucifer compelling - he definitely transcended the writing.
Lucifer was the reason I became a content creator, and thanks to the show I met other creators, and I met the dubbing voices in Spain. I was part of the #SaveLucifer campaign.
whatt so cool
@@struckbyheavenlylightYeah!
Met Tom in august of last year at steel city comic con. Made my day. Went to DragonCon 2 weeks later an met everyone else. He wrote on my picture how’s Atlanta losers. It was great
Loved him in the British comedy tv show "Miranda". Also recently saw him in an old episode of "Poirot" playing a police detective.
Have you seen an American series, made a few years ago called Rush with him in. Absolutely brilliant, could not believe that got cancelled.
He also plays a character in Merlin. Great performances all around.
Gary!!! ❤️❤️
I didn't watch Lucifer originally. I saw him on Miranda & loved his character. So I thought what else was he in. I started watching Lucifer & I liked it. Neil Gaiman's name popped up & I was hooked, because I knew the storyline would be clever. It has ended up one of my favourite shows.
I came to Miranda later, I mentioned lucifer and Tom, and my mom told me about the show, love that show too... that set is where ab fab was filmed and they used some set pieces.. like the wardrobe, I love ab fab as well.... "white box" lol.
Am I the only one who was immediately transported back to the days when Fox canceled Firefly? I swear that network has killed off more cult classics and beloved shows than any other.
Fox have screwed so many shows and movie franchises. It's like they make decisions on a whim depending on whether a CEO woke up in a good mood.
That's probably because they have. Any time I see a list of shows that were canceled prematurely, Fox has like 2 shows for every one show by every other network. They're just less patient about it and less likely to allow a show to remain in it's time slot long enough to attract a following.
That show is bad.
I love Lucifer. One of my absolute favorites. Constantly rewatching all the time.
Tom Ellis such a cool actor in Lucifer, he reminds me of a young Vincent Price.....great series, Tom Welling was great on the series too
Tim Ellis, Toms brother that played Michael
@@WereSquatch Tom played both. He doesn't have a brother named Tim.
Tom Welling is a TERRIBLE actor. Wooden, stiff, no emoting. God I can't stand him as an actor. Watching him in Cons he seems fun and nice, but NOT a good actor at all. I was massively disappointed in Jensen, Danneel and Robbie for casting him in 'The Winchesters'.
@@huchlvr No way you thought that Tim Ellis comment was serious LMFAO
@@James-sw9vm I did. Sorry.
"Were they pissed?"
"I don't fucking care."
He instantly gained my undying respect. Lol
He put everything into that role and it shows. So i get the reaction when someone pulled the rug from under his feet while people loved that show to bits ... Studios are weird.
Lucifer is one of my favourite recent shows. So many great moments, great actors, and great writing. Can't wait to see future projects from Tom, he really was the highlight of it all.
I didnt watch Lucifer until last year. Binged the whole thing. Loved the show and the songs!!! Thank you so much for persevering!!!!
Lucifer was the literal apotheosis of the "detective plus consultant" subgenre. I know there are doubtless fans of the comics who are disappointed it went in a different direction, but for the thing that it is, it's a delight.
I can imagine the pitch meeting. An executive asks, "Hasn't this genre been done? We've had sexy lady detectives paired with writers and psychologists and everything else." The pitch continue, "But this is the Devil." Nonplussed Executive: "Like, a really bad criminal?" Pitch, "No, the actual Devil and ruler of Hell." Executive: "I'm in."
I remember the hashtag SAVELUCIFER and the petition I signed. It was cool to be part of the movement to save the show ♥
The most amazing show, group of characters and their dynamic and brilliant cast I've ever watched. Have watched the whole thing from start to finish about 5 or 6 times. Just the best.
I was introduced to Tom Ellis' work through watching Miranda, what a wonderful versatile performer
Lucifer is one of my all time favourite shows. Once of the reasons I love it so much is the personalities and performances given, I know its the nature of acting, but I always felt a sense of love and passion in the performances on Lucifer. When you see and hear stories like this from Tom, I am glad I can see it wasn't a false impression.
The entire show was genius. One of the very few that are really fun to watch. You never know what was going to happen next. We have rerun it several times.
I remember joining twitter just to help #SaveLucifer….. great show and Tom was awesome…Favorite scene… When he protects, Chloe with his glorious beautiful white wings, from Cains gunfire. It truly hurt him… I think I cried when he did that….
That scene is magical film photography and beautifully handled. One of my top favourite scenes of all time on Lucifer. 💜 We really kicked arse on Twitter. 😂
@@LarissaFay Yes we did… I never saw a more devoted fan base and community effort than that campaign…
I live in Australia, so you guys always did a lot of the stuff during my late night/early morning, I remember being in my first semester of uni, and being up at all hours, on the bus etc. I had twitter before, but never really used it, and it got a workout to join the fight and save the show.
Great stuff. But nothing can top the Father Frank stuff for me. The rage Lucifer has after he dies. He truly did care about that guy.
I've noticed networks and streaming are doing this as soon as actors are becoming well known and then they have to be paid more etc and this is why they are cancelling these shows. Instead of keeping them going for so long.
💯
They don’t want the Friends phenomenon where the script is dependent on the characters being there.
When they have to kill off a character the show shift.
There are rare exceptions where it’s for the better.
For Lucifer even when they killed Dan, he was still in the show.
That last scene with Trixie in the park is 😢
Great actor, great performance, great show. Thank you for this interview and Mr. Ellis's dedication ❤ From a little less but still christian Czech republic 😅
I loved the show despite not really being my type of genre. This is an amazing actor that really knows how to make what would usually be a creepy annoying character and make him amazing! Any other actor would have come off as a cringe, yet he gives Lucifer that kind of almost innocent and playful demeanour that makes everything work so well.
I love his naughtyness through it all
Every episode and season full of excitement. No boring episodes.
I'm sure the heads at Fox were fuming over their decision to let the show go considering how successful it has been.
Fox is s... now
My grandmother had just passed away & I was in the car on my way to her hometown for her funeral. I was on my phone distracting myself from the long drive when I saw Tom’s tweet & instagram post that Lucifer had been cancelled. It was not the day to test me by cancelling one of my favourite shows. I was already a mess. I couldn’t believe Fox had done it because I had seen how much the fanbase had been growing & growing since the beginning. People were even reacting to the show on UA-cam. Lucifer had so much potential & to be cut off in its prime especially on that cliffhanger was infuriating so while I was in the car for hours I was tweeting nonstop with thousands of other fans how pissed I was!!! Thankfully the show was saved! I was really proud of the cast, the showrunners & the crew involved in the show for fighting for it too!
Honestly in my opinion 2 of my favorite comic portrayals the writers of the show were brilliant same with the acting. Smallville’s Lex brought this desire for a redeemable Lex Luther and did it so well because it gives you the feeling that he wasn’t given the opportunity of faith but the show did a wonderful job of showing the undertones that we’re there all along of Lex truly just manipulates almost by nature not by lack of nurture. Then the inverse with Lucifer taking a character that is irredeemable by nature and on the forefront comedically giving nurture and letting him kind of work it out and coming to the wrong conclusions because he is so deeply rooted in the idea that he is irredeemably. I enjoyed these portrayals and it was enjoyable to hear you both talk. (Also I see Alan Ritchson in my recommended and that takes me back to the smallville days too and I love reacher so can’t wait to check that one out OG AQUAMAN!)
i named my daughter mazikeen.. she's almost 6 .... it was our absolute favorite show next to supernatural
I really, really loved the show. All of the actors were absolutely amazing in it, and Tom Ellis as Lucifer is right up there with some of ( in my opinion ) one of the better screen characters of our generation. I've got nothing but love for Tom, and all the others that made Lucifer possible.
So very true it is a terrific cast & each one of them is so very perfect in their part1! aLL SO VERY TALENTED!!
UA-cam recommendation got me this today and now i am like... I am so rewatching the show omg. and i am starting my week end
This show comforted me in a very lonely time In my life❤ I still hope it could return
Lucifer was the best show ever!!!!
I always liked Lucifer, glad it was saved!
Some actors are the SHOW!
AND without him Lucifer don't exist!!
What an Actor!!❤ One of my favorite show! I was watching it before Netflix..
I tried make people watch it when it got to Netflix! And everyone loves it of course!
I LOVED Lucifer. And I loved the ending. It's so rare that a show has a perfect ending, but they totally nailed it.
I discover the show while season 3 was ending, and I was so pissed when I saw the cancellation tweet, thx Tom Ellis, I enjoyed the series so much.
Thank you for Lucy. He is 1 of my fav DC characters. The way you portrayed him was amazing. That's exactly how I could see lucifer living esp in Cali. If not there than Las Vegas.
miss that show, rewatched it 5 times, now we need a trilogy of movies plz, with tom ofcuz.
from denmark
Tom did a great job playing lucifer. He really embodied the develish side, whilst also displaying that misunderstood side of lucifer that many theologist ponder about.
The show it self was no more than a 4/10 for me. Other than likeable castings, the story and writting were subpar. What saved that show and made it enjoyable for me was the cast. Every casting was on point for the main cast, and the few missteps weren't even that bad. I watched start to finish for the characters alone. The writting really took a nosedive after Netflix took over.
Overall though, the passion from the community and the cast really makes you want to give this show more roses.
What I personally liked about the portrayal more than anything is that he was a likeable and sympathetic character somehow despite being a complete narcissist and psychopath in some ways and definitely a character that could believably have been the literal lord of Hell.
Yeah, something we humble fans needed when showrunners cancelled Lie to me. Well cudos to Tom and the team that made Lucifer done&gone properly. With the ending, with characteres beeing fully played and opened. That is the way it must always been done.
Taking a page out of the Deadpool playbook. Brilliant move.
Also, it ended in a place that it shouldn't when Lucifer's face was revaled. It's a reason to murder to cancel a show at that point
It was a very brave thing for Netflix to do. When the fans demanded Community be saved we all remember what happened to Yahoo
3:03 The PERFECT response to that question!
Save Lucifer was the first Petition i´ve ever singed. God how i loved this Show. Tom Ellis was the best Lucifer i´ve seen until this day.
Damn that's a gutsy move. Defying a studio like that could of potentially been a career ender.
Thanks Tom for sharing the story.
All I have to say is that Lucifer filled the void left by Supernatural ending. I loved both shows SSSSSOOOOOOO much! Thank you for the laughs Tom and ofc Lauren, Lesley, Kevin, David, Aimee, Rachael! The twist on Lucifer was actually quite unique and pic imho!
Shows get an early cancel because pay bonuses typically come into play at season three. That's why so many get a "tweak" at that point. It's all about keeping the payroll down.
The old Disney method
I remember the social media campaign to save Lucifer, i was part of it, tens, hundreds of tweets in support, it was such a strong experience, I am so happy it worked out, it was so important for the people who watched it, i absolutely adore it still.
Thank You Tom for Lucifer and I ❤Recently finished Miranda....Brilliant....Funny and Heart-felt....Adorable Roles Played by All Cast
I'd have loved another season of "The fades" where i first saw Tom. That was an awsome show!
Seen every single season of Lucifer, was one of my favorite shows including The Orville
I would love to see Tom in a new medieval show where he's a king of sorts, I don't know why I just wanna see him in more stuff! Something more gritty and serious, all my favourite episodes from lucifer were the dramatic ones such as him going back to hell to help Cloe, the car scene where has on his way to hurt the sinner man. Love the show mate, hopefully you come to comic-con in Australia some time!
My dearly departed friend Dawn LOVED this show, Tom and Lucifer brought her a lot of joy.
Lucifer was one of the best series I’ve watched my wife and I both love it. I hope you guys make a movie or something just to show everything in the future.
I really enjoyed that series. I cried the last two episodes it was so good.
I would’ve love for the show to keep on going! Tom Ellis better show up as Lucifer in every cameo possible.
I'm so happy that the show was saved ❤
Lesson for other creators.. never give up.
Ask the public, because we can honestly tell you what we want. Shows are cancelled that should not be and other shows slog on that are a waste of time and money.
I would have like a little more growth from Lucifer in the final two seasons.
But that aside, I love the directions they were able to go with the freedom Netflix provided them and that they were able to complete the story.
I would’ve hated that , he’s the Devil hes been alive for thousands of years . He did change a lot but suggesting that he should’ve changed more doesn’t sit well with me i dont know
What are you talking about? he had tons of growth in the final two seasons, season 1 Lucifer never would have been able to do any of those things including sacrifice for his own daughter and Chloe.
I only didn’t like the musical thing on the sport field
I loved Lucifer! Thank you for a great show.
His version of sinner man is engraved deep deep into my core memories now…
That Fox cancellation was BRUTAL, after the most epic season 3 finale cliffhanger. I had started out just watching the show to fill time on Mondays as a bit of procedural mindless fluff, but it quickly became such fun that I kept watching and got more interested as the longer arcs began to take shape. By season 2 it had become my favorite current airing show and I looked forward to it every week for my fix. And even before season 3 began it was actually genuine must-see appointment TV where I was making sure to catch each episode as it aired (something that hadn't even been a thing for me for years once I found the streaming sites and knew I could find anything whenever I wanted online). It was my weekly retreat and reward that I found joy in.
The S3 finale, though, was the ultimate peak of "OMG WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NOW??" emotional investment that I have ever experienced with a TV show. As a viewer was just blown away by the plot actually going there where most stories would not dare to take away the ever-present tease that drives the tension. I was 100% invested and was going to be counting the days until the show returned, and then from the ultimate height of curiosity, almost IMMEDIATELY after seeing it, my soul was crushed with news of the cancellation and it was actually so devastating that I wailed at the news...
There was rage and panic that I would never get the answer to that question and I took to Facebook to vent that frustration and cuss out Fox. That would have been the most agonizing place for that story to be left without resolution; I was SO upset! I have never hated a tv exec as much as I loathed the ones at Fox that day. I cursed them openly and viciously and vowed never to watch Fox again after that. I would have gone half out of my mind being left at that point in the show. It felt like personal cruelty from them and made it clear they had no care for anything but greed. I understood why they were so hated for "ruining" Firefly too. I had no idea how to cope or mourn the loss of the end of that story. The idea of being left without knowing was so torturous I even thought about writing to the creators to ask how it would have gone. Despite not daring to hope it could be done, I joined in the hashtag SaveLucifer because I needed to know. Then Netflix came through and did it. When I confirmed it wasn't a joke or a hoax and found out they actually picked up the show, Netflix earned hero status from me and I am forever grateful.
I love tv, and though sometimes have been sad that a shows run comes to an end, it's usually not at such a climactic point in the story, and mtbh most That was the only show cancellation that really hurt me, and getting two more on top of the fourth season that almost wasn't was just a bonus gift. I was able to make peace with letting it go that way, but I feel like I would have been legit traumatized and psychologically damaged by not having closure after that season 3 reveal. Thank goodness I don't have to be left wondering what might have been.
Awesome show miss it loads
One of my favorite shows hands down
Great Channel Micheal, I am not sure how it ended up on my feed but I am glad, when they wrote you off Smallville or for whatever reason you left the show was not the same anymore, you played the Perfect Lex Luthor, thank you for that. I wish you many happy days and a rich fullfilled future!!!
One of the greatest shows and great characters ever
It was not a good show.
@@kb5509 I kinda liked it , but its not a good show in any way , kinda like as soon as I turn it off It never enters my mind again.
I freaking loved the show and I was also super sad when we got the news. Thank god for that 1 tweet!
Him seeing “I don’t fucking care”, in response to being asked if the studio was pissed was such a Lucifer thing to say
Nicely played Tom👍
definitely one of the most entertaining shows ive watched
Thank you, the show was fantastic.
this was a great show i rewatched 10x
Wow, great story. I haven't seen the show, but Tom's story kept me interested throughout the clip.
I remember there was a petition i signed it, probably the only petition I signed on that site that actually won! also made me glad my sibling lets me use their netflix! it's ironic cause i'd just got into lucifer a month before they announced the cancellation and I was coming up near the last 4 episodes of the of Season 3 when they announced S4 would be on netflix... it took me a while I didn't watch it straight away but I was there for every episode after that up to the end of the show! I wonder if theres a possibility of a spin off some characters I feel were left open for that I kinda wanna see a show of Maizikeen! and maybe a lucifer guest appearance, sort of like how the charismatic john barrowman would make appearances on doctor who and visa versa!
I love that Tom made an appearance in Jack Ryan, he's slowly become one of my favorite actors and now I'm starting to see him in a good amount of projects
What was crazy was I had friends who loved the show but I hadn't seen it and I was retweeting their save Lucifer posts. Eventually I watched it and was glad it was saved.
i remember all of this! tom in rome for the convention, and then him seeing like, two fans or something in an archway talking about the call he'd just had
