Lucifer How The Original Ending Will Impact Season 6

With fans anxiously awaiting the start of Lucifer season 5, many are wondering why Netflix renewed the series for a sixth season and how this may have changed the show’s storyline. The renewal was a surprise to everyone — even to the show’s production team, who had previously built Lucifer around a five-year plan.

It’s oddly fitting that Lucifer should continue to defy expectations as it heads into its penultimate season. While the show is loosely based on author Neil Gaiman’s interpretation of Lucifer from the highly acclaimed graphic novel series The Sandman, the charming womanizer portrayed by Tom Ellis bears little resemblance to the amoral mastermind of the comics; a fact that drove many fans of the comics away from the television series. The series was cancelled after three seasons on Fox before being picked up by Netflix following an intense fan campaign. It was assumed by most that Netflix, who have a long track record of cancelling beloved shows without warning, would only air Lucifer through the end of its fifth season and the showrunners planned accordingly.

Lucifer showrunners Joe Henderson and Ildy Modrovich discussed the renewal and how it changed things in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly. According to Henderson, the ultimate effect on Lucifer season 5 was negligible and ultimately proved to be more of a boon than an annoyance. “It was very, very similar to when we went from 10 episodes to 16,” claimed Henderson, referring to how Netflix increased the Lucifer season 5 episode order from 10 episodes to 16.

Lucifer has a been a big hit for Netflix, which was what inspired the initial increased episode order for season 5. With buzz around the series still strong and an increased interest in the older seasons after it was confirmed by Crisis on Infinite Earths that Lucifer was part of the Arrowverse, it made sense for Netflix to try and keep Lucifer going a little longer. With Henderson and Modrovich confirming that they could extend the story for one more season and Tom Ellis on-board, there was nothing to stop Netflix from approving Lucifer season 6.

Netflix has taken a different approach with the property’s marketing than Fox did, focusing less on the procedural format and supernatural drama, instead emphasizing Ellis’s sex appeal and the show’s playful nature; this suggests the company has a particular audience in mind for the series. The surprise renewal, as well as the previous season’s extension to 16 episodes, suggests that Lucifer is tracking with the viewers Netflix wants it to. If the show continues to perform well within this demographic, there’s no reason why Netflix couldn’t renew it further.

Henderson claims that the only thing about Lucifer season 5 that was changed by the renewal was the finale episode, which the creative team realized was “a lot of great stories sped up just to give us a satisfying ending for all our characters.” The story of season 6 will reportedly spin out of the gap between where the writers plan for the characters to wind up, and where they stand after the events of season 5 — plus, according to Modrovich, “one giant story that just needed to be told.” What this story might be is anyone’s guess, but one plotline Arrowverse fans hope to see at some point in Lucifer involves explaining the favor John Constantine did for Maze.
