Lucifer returns for its sixth and final season. Here's a comprehensive guide to the hit series' last chapter, covering the release date, trailer, cast, and more.
Lucifer Season 6 is almost here! Netflix has officially confirmed the release date, and fans are buzzing with anticipation. This epic series, drawing from modernized biblical tales, has kept audiences hooked through rumors of cancellation—but the Devil endures.
Netflix announced the sixth and final season via an official Twitter post marked with '666': "The devil made us do it" #Lucifer will return for a sixth and final season. What lies ahead for the Prince of Darkness and his human allies? We've got all the details on Lucifer Season 6.
The second half of Season 5 delivered jaw-dropping twists. God (Dennis Haysbert) loses his memory and decides to retire, shaking the celestial order. The season culminates in an explosive finale where Lucifer (Tom Ellis) battles his twin brother Michael for God's throne, now vacant.
To claim the divine role, Lucifer makes profound sacrifices. He ventures to Heaven to rescue Chloe, killed by Michael, expecting death but miraculously returning to Earth with her alive—paving his path to godhood.
The official premiere for Lucifer Season 6 is September 10, 2021. Fans didn't have to wait long after rumors pointed to a late 2021 return.
Revealed during a Comic-Con@Home panel, the final season drops on that date with 10 episodes, per TV Line—six fewer than Season 5, but a satisfying send-off nonetheless. Production kicked off in Los Angeles on October 6, 2020, wrapping on March 29, 2021. Co-showrunner Joe Henderson shared the news on Twitter at filming's end.
Tom Ellis reprises Lucifer, confirmed early amid fan speculation. Showrunners Joe Henderson and Ildy Modrovich return too. Key cast includes:
Spoiler alert
Season 5B saw Dan Espinoza (Kevin Alejandro) murdered on Michael's orders. Yet Alejandro teased, "This episode definitely won't be the last you'll see of Dan." He hinted at flashbacks or surprises, confirming set visits for Season 6.

Expect Deckerstar developments, Lucifer balancing godhood and romance, Amenadiel at the police academy, Linda reuniting with daughter Adriana, and Maze's hell guardian quest. Co-showrunner Joe Henderson told Collider: "This is by far the most intimate season we've done, but also the most expensive episode we've ever done."
All good things must end. Netflix dropped the full Season 6 trailer, kicking off with Lucifer grilled by LAPD's Carol Corbett about his age—a secret he keeps.
It spotlights his God struggles, therapy sessions with Linda, and apocalyptic Earth chaos as natural laws unravel. The stakes couldn't be higher!
