Amazon Studios boss expresses interest in saving Lucifer, recalls The Expanse fans' plane banner stunt

  • “We were talking about Lucifer,” new Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke said last Thursday in an interview with Deadline. “I know that international, especially the UK group, was really bullish on that show, I haven’t checked in on that today (Thursday), but I heard conversations were ongoing on that yesterday.” Salke also recalled The Expanse fans sending a banner over Amazon Studios' Los Angeles headquarters: "There were airplanes circling us, I was having cakes delivered, there was a whole thing happening,” she said. “And then really smart people, whose opinions I really value creatively, started reaching out to me, saying, 'have you seen this show, The Expanse, it’s actually great.' I hadn’t so I spent some time, I watched the show and I was like, this show is actually really well done, why is nobody watching it? At the same time, Jeff Bezos was getting emails from everyone from George R.R. Martin to every captain of industry, like the founder of Craigslist, and they were all writing, saying, there’s this show, it’s so great, you have to see it, you have to buy it or save it."
