It’s Netflix to the rescue once more! After the streaming giant picked up the cancelled and beloved Lucifer in 2018 and gave us a 10-episode fourth season full of incredible moments and upsetting twists, it’s been confirmed that season 5 is definitely happening. Sadly, though, season 5 will be the last we see of the show. BUT it’s so much more than we ever thought possible, so give yourselves a pat on the back if you joined in with the #SaveLucifer campaign – you earned it!
“We’re thrilled that Lucifer fans around the world have embraced this series on Netflix, and we can’t wait to give them the big finish they’ve all been waiting for,” Netflix said in a statement.
Executive producers Ildy Modrovich and Joe Henderson added “We are so incredibly thankful to Netflix for resurrecting our show last season, and now letting us finish the story of Lucifer on our terms. Most importantly, we want to thank the fans for their incredible passion and support. The best is yet to come!!”
As for star Tom Ellis? He’ll see you in Hell…

Lucifer season 5 plot
Lucifer Season 4 (big spoilers coming) ended with Lucifer and Chloe finally admitting their feelings for each other, but the heartbroken Devil decided to leave her and return to Hell to prevent an apocalypse on Earth, foretold in a prophecy that seemed legit.
Showrunners Joe Henderson and Ildy Modrovich admitted to TVLine that they’ve both known how Lucifer season 5 will begin “literally since we started season 4,” and teased “we also have one other, really fun toy to play with, that we know is going to be a big guiding factor in Lucifer season 5, so we’re excited about that, too.”
Hmmm…
Lucifer season 5 cast

Lucifer season 5 release date
There’s no official release date for Lucifer season 5 yet, but we’d bank on it arriving around the same time season 4 did, in 2020. May-ish?
