Neil Gaiman gave a cheeky thanks to One Million Moms, the conservative activist group who threatened a boycott of Lucifer, following the news that the series was 2021’s most-streamed TV show. Noting that The Sandman was the subject of a boycott by the same group when it first launched as a comic, Gaiman joked that he knew the Lucifer TV spinoff was going to be good when he heard the group had targeted it. The acclaimed series ran for three seasons on Fox before being cancelled, then moved to Netflix for three more seasons and has consistently been one of the most-streamed TV shows in the world since it made the switch.
I would just like to formally thank the @1millmoms for their attempts to ban Lucifer before it came out. Their boycott was the thing that signalled that Sandman had arrived as a comic, and I knew it boded well for our TV spin-off.https://t.co/Af80pBALsN
