Lucifer has been resurrected for a fourth season on Netflix, and while fans are losing it over the news, the cast and showrunners are just as excited.

Ever since FOX canceled the show the hashtag #SaveLucifer has been a consistent trender on Twitter, as fans and cast alike tried to make enough noise to show just how much support the show had. Lucifer even released two bonus episodes on Fox to help the effort, and it seems all that effort made a difference.

Lucifer stars like Tom Ellis, Aimee Garcia, Lesley Ann Brandt, and Rachael E. Harris can't say thank you to the fans enough, and you can also count co-showrunner Joe Henderson as eternally grateful.

The season finale to the show ended on a rather big cliffhanger, but thankfully fans will get to see those closing moments explored further in the next season thanks to the support of fans and Netflix.

While their fate remained up in the air for a while, Henderson is really pleased with that final season 3 episode.

"I think that's the best episode of television I've ever made, just full stop," Henderson recently told ComicBook.com. "I love it. I got to write a mixture of a play and an action movie. I thought the entire cast just brought it. The only regret I have about the episode is that DB and Tricia aren't in it. But they did such incredible work they did in the previous episode that Ildy wrote – it was satisfying. And I guess, them not being in the finale also gave us room to dig deeper with our other characters: Ella and her fate, Dan and his breaking point, and of course Lucifer and Chloe."

ComicBook.com recently sat down with Lucifer showrunners Ildy Modrovich and Joe Henderson about every episode of the show, and you can check that out right here.

Hit the next slide to hear directly from the cast about the show's big return!

Co-showrunner of Lucifer Joe Henderson went a different route for his celebration of the show's Netflix pickup, calling in some help from a Game of Thrones character that has also come back from the dead.

While the Game of Thrones GIF was a great way to acknowledge the show's return, Henderson wasn't quite done thanking everyone that came out to support the show after its cancellation.

"Thank you thank you THANK YOU to all the #Lucifer fans. You brought us back. YOU did this. So relax, take a breath, put some ice on those fingers that have been hashtagging up a storm... and get ready for more deviltime ?"

@RachaelEHarris

The other reactions to the good news for Lucifer on Netflix were great, but Rachael Harris' might just be the best, and seeing a video of it will only brighten your day.
