Lucifer Season 4: Everything You Need to Know

January 22, 2019 steezy

Netflix rescued Lucifer from its Fox cancellation, to the adulation of the show’s shocked fandom. The streamer is picking up Lucifer Season 4, meaning we’ll get some resolution of the big reveal in the Season 3 cliffhanger after all.

Lucifer Season 4 Renewal

There were fan petitions and social campaigns to save Lucifer Season 4, and Amazon flirted with potentially saving the series. Contractually, the Lucifer actors couldn’t look for other jobs until June 16th, giving the revival a hard deadline. The CW was thought to be a potential suitor, given its DC ties, but its network executives denied any interest in the series starring Tom Ellis.

Ellis tweeted out his support for the revival:

The series was averaging about 5 million viewers per episode on Fox. Episodes of Lucifer are not currently available on Netflix (all three seasons are currently on Hulu), but we imagine that will change with this deal. It’s the first time Netflix will be producing an original series based on a DC Comic.

A few months after the streaming giant performed its miraculous rescue, Lucifer Season 4 officially went into production!

Day 1 of the shoot was commemorated with a video from the makeup trailer in which stars Tom Ellis, Lauren German, Rachael Harris, Aimee Garcia, Kevin Alejandro, and Lesley-Ann Brandt get hyped for the show’s Netflix-born reprieve. Of course, Brandt, who plays Mazikeen, prepared an appropriately demonic parting shot (the kind you drink,) aimed at the Fox decision-maker who cancelled the show.

Lucifer Season 4 Cast

Inbar Lavi will join the cast to play Eve, the Biblical first woman on Earth, who was famously inveigled by Lucifer to eat the forbidden fruit, though it’s sounding like that narrative will prove to be a lascivious metaphor on the series. According to the official synopsis of Lavi’s Eve (via TV Insider):

“After an eternity with Adam, she’s grown restless in her marriage and longs for a less predictable time when things were exciting. Naughty. Dangerous. She misses her hot and heavy first love…the charming rogue who tempted her so many years ago. That’s right, the devil himself…Lucifer.”

Consequently, the introduction of Eve telegraphs a Biblical love triangle with Chloe, who’s now in the know about Lucifer’s nature. However, there’s an additionally intriguing aspect here, since Lucifer just spent Season 3 in a rivalry with Lt. Marcus Pierce (Tom Welling), Chloe’s immediate-superior-turned-love-interest, who was revealed to be Cain, son of Eve and perpetrator of the Biblical first murder. The victim of said murder, Cain’s brother Abel, also briefly appeared on the series in Season 3, manifesting as a habitual womanizer put into the body of a woman (Lauren Lapkus).

Lavi, an Israel-born actress, has recently fielded a TV run on the Bravo! series, Imposters, having banked runs on The Last Ship, Sons of Anarchy, Gang Related and Underemployed. She’s also appeared in films such as the Vin Diesel-starring fantasy-actioner, The Last Witch Hunter, House of Dust, For the Love of Money and Getting that Girl.

Lucifer Season 4 Episodes

The official tweeted image of the Lucifer Season 4 premiere script reveals its ever-appropriate title, “Everything’s Okay.”

“Everything’s Okay,” is an intriguing title that seems to tease a potentially crucial line uttered by someone when it comes the aforementioned cliffhanger scene, in which the truth – that Lucifer is really THE Lucifer – is finally revealed to Chloe, who has finally witnessed the infamous Devil Face.

As the visual evidence makes clear, the Lucifer Season 4 premiere episode will be penned by returning Fox-era writer Joe Henderson and directed by Sherwin Shilati, who directed two previous episodes of the series, having also helmed an episode of The CW’s Riverdale, episodes of series Merrime.com and the 2017 dramedy film, People You May Know.

The Writers Room account would later reveal the title of Season 4’s second episode, “Somebody’s Been Reading Dante’s Inferno.”
