Fans of Lucifer have a reason to celebrate. Even though the upcoming fifth season will be its last, the series has added additional episodes to its previous ten-episode order.
Lucifer’s final bow will get 16 episodes to wrap up its story. The move to add additional episodes might have come from impassioned fan support which helped earn it a new run on Netflix after Fox canceled the series. At 77 episodes through five seasons, Lucifer would be one of the longest-running Netflix original series. The episode count is between veterans Orange Is the New Black (91) and House of Cards (73). Although fans were a little upset that season five would be the last season, Lucifer executive producers have stated that five seasons was the plan and it allows them to end the story as originally intended.
Lucifer is based on the comic book characters created by Neil Gaiman for DC’s Vertigo Imprint. The series stars Tom Ellis, Lauren German, Rachael Harris, DB Woodside, Lesley-Ann Brandt, Aimee Garcia, Tricia Helfer, Scarlett Estevez, and Kevin Alejandro. The show follows the charming and charismatic Lord of Hell, Lucifer Morningstar (Ellis) as he helps LAPD detective Chloe Decker (German) take down criminals.
