Netflix: Lucifer renewed for a sixth and final season by the streaming giant
Lucifer lives to see another final season as Netflix renews the beloved show.
Lucifer has been resurrected from the dead yet again as the show has been officially renewed for its sixth and yet another final season, which is being called as the “FINAL final” season of the show.
The renewal has been highly speculated both by the fans and the media judging by the show’s massive popularity as well as the fact that not long ago, Deadline reported that Tom Ellis has closed a deal to return for a sixth season.
The streaming giant also already hinted that there could be more in the store for this charming devil as they just announced the premiere date for the show’s fifth and earlier scheduled to be the final season but didn’t call it so.
Lucifer was canceled by Fox back in 2018.
Lucifer has had one hell of a ride ever since the show first got canceled by Fox, after only three seasons in 2018 (the same year that they also canceled Brooklyn Nine-Nine).
But, due to its massive fan-following, and an insane amount of outpouring love from fans, the show was brought back from the dead by Netflix only after a month from the cancellation, for a fourth season that debuted last May.
Lucifer Season 4 garnered an immense amount of praise from the fans and was Netflix’s one of the most successful titles of the year. In June 2019, Netflix renewed Lucifer for a fifth season consisting of 10 episodes, which was also supposed to be the final one. But shortly after that, they ordered 6 more episodes, which brought the total count of its then said to be the final season to 16.

Lucifer Season 5 will be split into two parts and the first half will pick up from where Season 4 left off, with Tom Ellis’ Lucifer back in hell.
Season 5 will also see the return of fan-favorite Eve played by Imposters’ Inbar Lavi and will also introduce The Unit’s Dennis Haysbert as God. Season 5 will also feature two musical episodes, one will be a noir episode set in the 1940s and will feature two musical numbers, while the other episode will be in the second half and will be a full-fledged musical episode.
Lucifer, which is based on the DC Comics character created by Neil Gaiman, stars the ever-charming Tom Ellis as the titular character and Lauren German as Chloe Decker.
Lucifer Season 5 will drop its first set of episodes at Netflix on August 21.
