Lucifer fans will be able to catch the second half of the show's fifth season in two months.
Based on the Vertigo/DC character of the same name, Lucifer announced its Season 5B release date to Luci-fans on Twitter with the playful note, "We know that more episodes are what you truly desire. Season 5B arrives on Netflix May 28th." The show's announcement came with a meme of the Devil (Tom Ellis) representing the show's fandom embracing Det. Chloe Decker (Lauren German) as the long-awaited release news.
Season 5A of Lucifer debuted on Netflix in August 2020, ending with an epic cliffhanger. Last fans saw of the devilish detective, he came face-to-face with his angelic brothers Michael, Amenadiel and their father, God (Dennis Haysbert). "Dear Old Dad" arrived to stop the impending fight that erupted over Lucifer and Amenadiel's fear that Michael had somehow hurt -- or will -- hurt Charlie, Amenadiel's seemingly mortal son.
Co-showrunner Joe Henderson recently announced that Lucifer has finished filming for its sixth and final season. In celebration of the news, Luci-fans took to Twitter and made the hashtag #ThankYouLucifer trend. Henderson reacted to the news with gratitude, writing, "We have the best fans!!! Last day of shooting [Lucifer], and what a wonderful sendoff from the Lucifans. #ThankYouLucifer."
Although details of Season 5B have been kept mostly under wraps, some plot points have been shared by Henderson. He previously revealed that the series will dive deeper into Lucifer's relationship with God, leading the an epic confrontation. "So much of Lucifer's relationship with God is about this distance," he said. "What was interesting is casting someone who had that inherent warmth, plays against the type you'd expect, but also leans into sort of the fatherly energy that he gives... And it opens up Lucifer in ways he has chosen to close off previously as the 'wayward son.'"
Lucifer stars Tom Ellis as Lucifer Morningstar, Lauren German as Det. Chloe Decker, D.B. Woodside as Amenadiel, Rachael Harris as Dr. Linda Martin, Kevin Alejandro as Det. Dan Espinoza, Lesley-Ann Brandt as Mazikeen Smith and Aimee Garcia as Ella Lopez. The first half of Season 5 is now streaming on Netflix.
