‘Lucifer’ Season 6: Everything We Know So Far

It’s early days on Lucifer season 6 with season 5 part 1 due out on August 21st, 2020, and part 2 probably not due until at least early to mid-2021. With that said, we can cover what we do know about season 6 including who’s going to be involved with the sixth and final season and recap the long road to seasons 6 renewal. 

In case you haven’t already, check out our Lucifer season 5 preview which we think is the biggest and best on the internet with a full timeline of what happened in development for that show and all the new guests and storylines we can expect.

Here are a few things we have absolutely no idea about season 6 of Lucifer. First and foremost, we don’t know the story just yet and can’t even provide theories on what could happen with season 5 not yet finished. We don’t yet know about any of the episode names or who will be guest-starring in season 6.

In addition, the episode count has yet to be officially revealed by Netflix or WB.

The Road to Season 6 of Lucifer (How it was renewed)

Originally of course season 6 of Lucifer was never going to happen.

Netflix’s revival of the series from season 4 onwards was meant to end with season 5. That’s partly why the show was split into two halves and given an extended season.

However, fans prevailed and once again got the show renewed.

When Netflix gave season 5 the final season order, naturally fans weren’t happy that Netflix regave life to Lucifer but to only take it away two seasons later. It led to your usual campaigns such as petitions (with the best performing petition securing over 100K signatures).

Rumors, however, began in early 2020 that Netflix had reversed its decision and began seeking to renew season 6 but only once it had got everyone signed on.

It was late February 2020 when Ildy Modrovich and Joe Henderson had signed on for a further sixth season.

In April 2020, after more talks, the second revival looked less likely as Tom Ellis’s contract negotiations fell through however they were fixed and Tom Ellis was signed back on in May 2020.

The first we heard of Netflix reversing course was back in February 2020 when TVLine had learned that Netflix was back in talks with Warner Brothers Television to extend the show.

On June 23rd, 2020 – we officially got word that season 6 was set to happen but that it would be the “final FINAL” season.

Who’s involved with Lucifer season 6?

As we mentioned above, Ildy Modrovich and Joe Henderson who serve as the co-showrunners are both on board.

It wasn’t until early July until DB Woodside confirmed he’d be returning a Tweet saying:

Happy to announce that I will be returning to Lucifer for season 6. Additionally, I will be directing an episode for our final season. ❤️This is a beautiful cast. We stand by each other. We fight for one another.

So… let’s get to work. ✊?#AngelTrainingBegins@LuciferNetflix

When will season 6 of Lucifer start filming?

As of August 2020, filming for season 5 part B has yet to fully complete. As we reported earlier in the year, that’s currently due to restart in October 2020 although we don’t know how many episodes are left to do.

With the coronavirus playing major havoc on all productions right now, that October 2020 date may even be pushed back but we do suspect that writing and most of the pre-production for both season 5B and season 6 can be taking place in the meantime.

So based on this, it could be possible that there’s enough written that season 5b and season 6 could film back to back in early 2021.

That’s purely conjectured at this point but it’s not out of the realm of possibility.

There you have it, everything we know so far about Lucifer season 6 coming to Netflix over the next few years. Let us know in the comments if you’re excited.
