Entering its third season, the story of the original fallen angel continues.  As Season Two came to a close, Lucifer (Tom Ellis) took care of a little problem called Mom, aka Charlotte (Tricia Helfer). But now he’s facing an even greater challenge – finding out who kidnapped him, and why his angel wings are back.  In addition, Tom Welling (Smallville) joins the cast as Marcus Pierce, an accomplished police lieutenant who is everything Lucifer is not – strategic, reserved and well-respected. But perhaps even more annoying are all the things they have in common. Both men are charming, charismatic and handsome as hell. So, when Pierce starts developing a connection with Chloe (Lauren German), Lucifer's devilish traits are inflamed.

“From powerhouse producers Jerry Bruckheimer Television, we are excited to heat up your home entertainment centers with the next installment of the critically acclaimed series,” said Rosemary Markson, WBHE Senior Vice President, Television Marketing. "Catch up on all 26 episodes from Season 3 with hours of frighteningly fun entertainment and frivolous adventures.”

Television. Developed by Tom Kapinos (Californication),, the series is executive produced by Jerry Bruckheimer (CSI franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean films), Jonathan Littman (The Amazing Race, CSI franchise), Joe Henderson (White Collar, Almost Human), Ildy Modrovich (CSI: Miami, Californication), Kristianne Reed (CSI: Cyber) and Sheri Elwood (Call Me Fitz).

26 ONE-HOUR EPISODES

The set releases August 28, 2018.

This information was sent to Critical Blast at 1:25pm Central time.

And then, at 4:46pm Central, we received an update to this announcement.

The wording was still the same, but they had requested we change out the cover art with the new version of the cover art. This was the original version.

Can you spot the difference?

Nothing in the announcement states explicitly that there will be a fourth season -- however, after the news that the series was being cancelled with the conclusion of the third season, an online campaign began with the hashtag #SaveLucifer.

With the change in the box art from "Third and Final Season" to simply "Third Season" it may be that #Lucifans have got their wish! Fingers crossed!
