What to expect from Lucifer season 5b
Spoilers for Lucifer season 5a below
The first half of season 5 ended on a big cliff hanger, in which God himself (played by Denis Haysbert) finally showed up on Earth. He came to interrupt Amenadiel and Lucifer, who were in a fight with Michael and demon Maze. It turns out that the father of angels wasn’t too pleased with the arguing.
Lucifer has a very complex relationship with his dad, and we’re certain that season 5b will delve into all those issues head-first.
There were other plot threads left unanswered as well. There’s the issue of baby Charlie’s possible immortality, and the so-called ‘darkness’ inside Ella.
But it’s not all doom and gloom – well be getting the long-awaited musical episode in season 5b (). Stay tuned.
Will there be another season of Lucifer?
Despite initial news saying that season 5 would be the last, Lucifer will return for a sixth and ultimately final season (so Netflix say now, anyway).

Tom Ellis and numerous co-stars have all been reported to come back for the series – but the date of this hasn’t yet been confirmed. We can say with confidence that it probably won’t be available until 2022 – but it could be even later if other show delays have a knock-on effect.
