Lucifer bosses confirmed that the show will be coming back for one extra - and final - season with a tweet that read: "The devil made us do it. #Lucifer will return for a sixth and final season.

In January 2021, Tom Ellis teased fans with a behind-the-scenes snap of him working out with his personal trainer alongside a smiling devil emoji, leading many to believe that the actor was getting back into devilishly good shape for his role as Lucifer Morningstar following a break for the holidays.

Fans' suspicions were confirmed in February when actress in Lesley Ann Brandt, who plays Lucifer's loyal demon Maze on the series, snapped a behind-the-scenes photo from her trailer. She captioned the photo: "Good to be back....safely @LuciferNetflix".
As for when fans can expect it to land on Netflix, co-executive producer Chris Rafferty recently shared on Twitter that season six was "Already shot & edited," but "more steps remain." He added: "When will it drop? No need to ask — we will tell you as soon as we can. Pass it on."
What will happen in Lucifer season six?
The plot of season six remains firmly under wraps for now, but showrunners Joe Henderson and Idly Modrovich have revealed that having the extra episodes have given them the opportunity to "really explore how our characters end up where they ended up".
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly Joe said: "It's the story we were always going to tell, but just written much larger and to me so much more interestingly. It breaks my heart to think we weren't going to do it this way."
Meanwhile, the writing team behind the show have also been keeping 'Lucifans' entertained during the midseason hiatus by teasing upcoming episode titles on the official Lucifer Writer's Room Twitter account.
Their latest clue revealed that the penultimate episode will be titled 'Goodbye, Lucifer', which has - quite understandably - sent viewers into a spin. "I'm not ready!!" one fan tweeted back in response.

Viewers can expect most of the existing cast members to return including, of course, Tom Ellis as Lucifer Morningstar, Lauren German as his beloved Detective Chloe Decker and D.B. Woodside as Amenadiel.
