Netflix has officially made a deal with the devil, as Lucifer has been resurrected for a sixth and “final” season.
Announcing the news on Twitter, the streaming giant claimed that the “devil” made them extend the supernatural series for a “sixth and final season,” emphasizing that it would be the “FINAL final” chapter.

Many Lucifans have been actively following developments leading up to the highly-anticipated “fifth and final season,” having successfully campaigned for the devil’s reign to continue following Fox’s cancellation of the show after just three seasons on the air.

Earlier this year, Tom Ellis reportedly closed a deal to return as the title character in a potential sixth season. Executive producers Ildy Modrovich and Joe Henderson were also reported to have inked new deals for another run of the supernatural series, which is very loosely based on Neil Gaiman’s depiction of the Devil from the Sandman comic book and its spinoff Lucifer.
For now, though, we already have a date with the devil, as Lucifer Season 5: Part 1 lands on Netflix on August 21.
