Netflix renews Lucifer for a fifth and final season

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Lucifer began life at Fox several years ago as the series followed Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis), the bored and unhappy Lord of Hell who resigns his throne and ends up running a nightclub in Los Angeles where he becomes a consultant with the LAPD, as you do. Although the series had a passionate fanbase, the ratings just weren't enough to keep it going and Fox cancelled the series just prior to the conclusion of the third season. Did I mention that passionate fanbase? Well, they raised a little hell and caused Netflix to come to the rescue. The fourth season of Lucifer was released on the streaming service last month to rave reviews.

According to TVLine, Netflix has now renewed Lucifer for what will be its fifth and final season. It's not known how many episodes will round out this final season, but it will likely be similiar in number to the 10 episodes which made up the fourth. "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," reads a statement from co-showrunners Joe Henderson and Ildy Modrovich. "Most importantly, we want to thank the fans for their incredible passion and support. The best is yet to come!" The showrunners also told TVLine that they've had the opening sequence for the fifth season laid out "literally since we started season 4," with Moldrovich adding, "We also have one other, really fun toy to play with, that we know is going to be a big guiding factor in Season 5, so we’re excited about that, too."

Any Lucifer fans out there happy to learn that the series will be back one more time?
