Q: I just watched the “Lucifer” series finale on Fox, and I am beyond gutted that the series was canceled. This show is one of the funniest, smartest and most interesting shows on TV today. And the chemistry between all the actors, as well as the star power of Tom Ellis, is hard to come by nowadays. I really felt that the show was hitting its stride. Is there any chance Fox will reverse its decision, or maybe someone else can pick it up? – Kayla F., via email

A: I’m right there with you, Kayla. As I’ve expressed in this column before, “Lucifer” is one of my favorite shows, and I was crushed to learn of its cancellation. There are tons of fans who feel the same way, if Twitter’s #SaveLucifer and #PickUpLucifer campaigns are any indication. I mean, Lucifer FINALLY showed his true self to Chloe, she finally understands he is literally the devil (and not metaphorically, as she always believed), and that’s it? It’s canceled? As of this writing, no one had picked up the series yet, but a lot can happen, and happen quickly, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. If you want to help, speak your mind on social media and enlist your friends. It actually does work, sometimes.
Q: Can you tell me what’s up with “Outlander”? It’s been forever since I’ve seen my favorite Scotsman. – Jamie R., via Facebook
A: Starz has revealed that you’ll have a little while longer to wait for season four to begin. It’s slated for November (I’ll keep you posted when they announce an exact date) and will consist of 13 episodes. BUT I have some great news for you: The time-traveling fantasy-romance series has been renewed through season six, with seasons five and six each comprising 12 episodes.
Starz president and CEO Chris Albrecht in a statement, “Fans can rest assured their beloved Claire and Jamie will be back facing new challenges, adversaries and adventures in seasons five and six as we delve into American history and continue the story of the Frasers as they settle in the New World.” And remember, author Diana Gabaldon is currently working on the ninth book, so there is a potential for at least nine seasons of the fan-favorite series.
Q: Is “Shades of Blue” ever coming back? It didn’t air this past fall, so I was counting on spring. Now spring has come and gone, and no “Blue.” What’s going on? – Gigi R., via email
A: No need to worry. NBC has pushed back the season-three premiere date of the Jennifer Lopez and Ray Liotta cop drama to Sunday, June 17, at 10 p.m. ET. This will be its final season, and according to sources, it was planned as a three-season story arc from its inception. NBC revealed that season three’s storyline “brings Lopez’s complex character to a fitting resolution.”
