‘Lucifer’ Season 6: Everything We Know About the Final Season

The end is near. Netflix's Lucifer will end with season 6, but there's still plenty that the drama needs to address before closing the doors of Hell. Star Tom Ellis, who plays the titular character, warned fans that the sixth season goes beyond what he expected. "I honestly feel like the territory we covered in season 6 is somewhere we've never been before, especially performing the character of Lucifer," the British actor, 42, told TV Guide. "There was a dynamic that I'd not touched on before and how it echoed Lucifer's feelings of abandonment in the first five seasons. season 6 holds up because it was an opportunity for every character in their own way to say goodbye properly, and that never really happens." When the last 10 episodes start streaming on Netflix, fans will find that some time has passed since the season 5 finale, which saw Lucifer (Ellis) and his twin, Michael (Ellis), throw down in a deadly battle to take their father's place and become God. The ongoing battle killed Dan (Kevin Alejandro), and Chloe (Lauren German) was murdered by Michael in the final showdown. After Chloe's death, Lucifer returned to Heaven using Mazikeen's (Lesley-Ann Brandt) magical ring for the first time since he was banished from the Silver City. He passed the jewelry to Chloe to send her back to Earth before he was burned to a crisp — but he didn't die. Lucifer flew back down to Earth, where he assembled the flaming sword and cut Michael's wings off. He showed mercy and declared even Michael deserved a second chance. After his show of power, everyone kneeled before him and it appeared as though Lucifer was the new God. [jwplayer oHhbb148-l3ahXupL] When the series returns, Lucifer will face a new adversary as he adjusts to his sudden promotion, and while he finally said he loved Chloe, dating God might be different than dating the Devil. While the detective resigned from the LAPD in anticipation of Lucifer becoming the universe’s head honcho, there will still be a police presence. Amenadiel (D.B. Woodside) is following in the late Dan's footsteps and training to become a police officer, but the archangel realizes his choice is complicated as a Black man. Lucifer has some intense stories planned, but Netflix is still letting the hit show have fun in the final season. The third episode will be an animated adventure titled "Yabba Dabba Do Me." Like all good things, there will be laughter, but also tears. Ellis teased that the story will get pretty emotional as the series comes to a close. “I hope that they’ll be sobbing! And I hope their hearts will be filled with joy at same time,” Ellis told TVLine of reaction he anticipates from viewers.

Lucifer and Chloe

Lucifer said, "I love you," and he slipped the immortality ring on Chloe's wedding finger last season. Amid their renewed commitment, Ellis promised that the final season would let the pair have a little more romantic time together.

"There is a lot of Deckerstar in season 6," Ellis told Entertainment Tonight in May. "There's some twists and turns like there always is in our Deckerstar story, but no, Lucifer and Chloe are very much together in season 6. So Deckerstar lives."

Maze and Eve

Expect the two to run into some trouble as Maze might finally admit she kind of likes living on Earth more than the depths of the underworld.

Amenadiel and Linda

While Amenadiel is training to enforce the law, Linda (Rachael Harris) is going to be God's therapist, which might be even more difficult than advising the Devil.

Dan Returns

While it's no secret that Dan returns, the question is how? Chloe's ex-husband died and Michael confirmed that his guilt for his sins landed him in Hell.

"I said, he is back in some capacity, not the way you expect it, but he's there," Alejandro teased in a May interview with Entertainment Weekly. "He's part of the world."

Rory’s Revenge

The trailer shows the season 6 villain will be Rory (Brianna Hildebrand, left), another one of Lucifer's siblings. She's out to destroy him after he ascended to God-status while she was stuck in hell.

Among the new characters in season 6 is also Sonya (Merrin Dungey), a cop who befriends Amenadiel.

A Proper Ending

"Six seasons of the show is a real achievement," Ellis said on the "Kings of Con: The Podcast" in October 2020. “It’s been a huge emotional journey and I don’t think I want to do anymore. I know I don’t want to do anymore. Mainly because I wanna know that we’re ending and because I’ve had such a great time. I think it’s only fitting that we have a proper ending to the show."

Endgame Plans

Showrunner Ildy Modrovich teased the show’s conclusion during a September 2021 interview with Variety.

“The whole notion of Lucifer deciding to go down to Hell to turn it into kind of a rehab center, that was the Season 5, Act 6 notion that we landed on,” Modrovich told the outlet. "Also, Amenadiel becoming God and just a lot of the main endings for our characters. But the big final chapter of Rory, and Chloe and Lucifer discovering they have a daughter, that was the new part that we realized was the final chapter we needed to tell."

She added, "If, in this journey of father-son, God and Lucifer had found resolution — really the start of resolution in Season 5 — the final chapter really of Lucifer’s journey would be, 'What does it feel like to be God or to be the dad to the child who feels hurt, who feels abandoned?'”
