Lucifer originally found its home at Fox but was dropped after its third season. Netflix picked it up for season 4 and 5 after fans petitioned to bring back the show.
When season 4 launched in May last year, fans pushed the show to number 1 on Netflix for weeks. Seeing that enthusiasm may have encouraged the powers that be to possibly give us a sixth season. For which I will be extremely delighted.
The trailer for Season 5 dropped a few days ago and it picks up with Lucifer Morningstar coming up from the Underworld, aka Hell, where he exiled himself at the end of Season 4 leaving behind his love, Lt. Chloe Decker. Like many fans, I was ready for the consummation of the relationship, and we got robbed! It’s kind of like not getting the wedding between Mr. Big and Carrie at the end of Season 6 of Sex and the City.
Anyhow, the trailer alludes to the fact that all is not as it seems. We not only get eye-candy Welshman Tom Ellis playing Lucifer this season, but Ellis playing a new character, Lucifer’s identical twin brother, Michael, who is pretending to be Lucifer. Here’s that trailer:
Now that we know that Tom Ellis has inked a deal with Netflix, we can greedily anticipate not only the second half of season 5 but a possible season six. Fingers crossed as I surely won’t get tired of seeing Tom nor his sexy co-star D.B. Woodside on my tiny screen. I will also enjoy watching Mazikeen, played by Lesley-Ann Brandt, kicking everybody’s ass.

Of course (said it in my head in Alexander Lemtov’s voice)!
lol
I love this show! Can’t wait!
I am soooo ready! Netflix took their sweet time releasing it! Lol!
Absolutely! The show is always entertaining. Tom Ellis is the eye candy I need in this difficult time.
Oh definitely. I love the show, and now with new content being so hard to come by, I’m even more excited. All those Disney + original MCU shows? We’re not getting them for a long time.
I can’t wait! It’ can be cheesy but also has good themes (sexual fluidity, personal growth, BLM) and thankfully doesn’t glorify toxic masculinity. Tom Ellis is delightful and really, really easy on the eyes.
I love how Lucifer is a lothario but he’s not a misogynist.
And I love Maze so much. I’m so happy this show is back. I know it’s cheese and I don’t care
I still need to watch season 4 and to do that I need to rewatch the first three seasons. Better get to it or I’ll be really far behind.
Is the Pope Catholic?
Is Lilith the first wife of Adam?
Does Mazikeen make you question your identity?
Of course! Why would you even ask?
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can’t wait!!!
I’m currently re-watching seasons 1-4 right now… Can’t wait for Season 5! I’m not necessarily a fan of the English accent, but Tom Ellis does something to me! The trailer looks awesome!
Definitely. I think the shift to Netflix was handled really well, and I hope it does come back for a sixth season!
I think that is why we get to see his bum so much now too! Thank you Netflix…
They are all great, and every time I think I have a favorite it changes.
YASSSS. I’m gonna rewatch it in the meantime. Love this show and all the main characters
I binged this show a few months ago and ended up loving it. But the twin trope? That’s so lame. I’m kind of disappointed now. Lucifer wouldn’t have a twin anyhow and he already had a brother named Michael. At least adhere to the original story. Lame.
I LOVE this show and was thrilled when Netflix picked it up. I love me some Tom Ellis.
Just finished rewatching Season 1 with my 80 year old Mom. We both love it and are trying to rewatch all of it before season 5 drops.
This show has just gotten better with every season. Netflix did a fantastic job with Lucifer, and I have my fingers crossed that they work their magic with the sixth and final season.
Hell, YEAH.
Hell yes! One of my fave shows 🙂
Wasn’t too keen on the premise, but they make it soooo great. Amazing cast & characters
