“Lucifer” is the only streaming original procedural drama among the top most in-demand series — and it was originally a Fox series

Netflix’s “Lucifer” is the only original streaming series in the 10 most in-demand procedural dramas, according to Parrot Analytics‘ data, which takes into account consumer research, streaming, downloads and social media, among other engagement.

Although “Lucifer” had its series finale a year ago, it still remains highly in-demand. While the last three seasons were released as Netflix originals, this show was acquired by the platform after originally airing on Fox for three low-rated seasons.

While procedural dramas — dramas that formulaically introduce and close a story with each episode rather than depending on season-long arcs — are consistently among the most in-demand, they largely still originate from linear channels.
