Netflix's "Lucifer" revival is a hit with audiences who hated to see the series canceled by Fox last year. The streaming giant quickly picked up the show for a fourth season.

Every week, Parrot Analytics provides Business Insider with a list of the seven most "in-demand" TV shows on streaming services. The data is based on " demand expressions," the globally standardized TV demand measurement unit from Parrot Analytics. Audience demand reflects the desire, engagement, and viewership weighted by importance, so a stream or download is a higher expression of demand than a "like" or comment on social media.

"Doom Patrol" is also still going strong as DC Universe prepares to roll out a new original series later this month, called "Swamp Thing."
