This week Lucifer aired its season finale, which brought in a rating/share of 1.3/4 and 3.86 million viewers. Although these were the same numbers as the episode last week, the series did manage to increase from a 1.1 to 1.3 from a few weeks prior. Lucifer has now finished up season one and will begin working towards season two.

The Lucifer Twitter account is currently still posting short memes and clips about the finale, along with replying to fans consistently. As for lead actors Tom Ellis and Lauren German, they both continue replying back to fans and showing gratitude towards everyone who has supported them throughout.
In regards to Tom Ellis, he has done an exceptionally well job at promoting the series since it’s premier back in January. Not only has Ellis been promoting Lucifer through social media, he has maintained relationships with fans each week. When starting off the series, Ellis was at 97.6 thousands followers and now has 123.8 thousand.

Both accounts have used social media to help promote the show and keep fans involved, which has been a great strategy.
Overall, with Lucifer coming to an end for season one, it is safe to say the series proved critics wrong. Before the show premiered, many critics, such as those on Rotten Tomatoes, stated Lucifer was going to shortly get cut and fail due to its story plot. However, despite its story line that some found offensive, Lucifer came in strong and moved its way to renewing another season. Regardless if the series brought in the highest rating for its Monday 9:00 PM time slot, Lucifer has maintained steady ratings and viewers since the beginning, and has shown to attached viewers from all around.
