Summary
The highly anticipated sixth season of Lucifer will mark the end of the beloved series, as there are no intentions to continue with a seventh season. In an official statement, the showrunners assured fans that season 6 will bring closure to the captivating narrative and no additional episodes are currently planned.
Lucifer will not have a crossover with the Arrowverse as the Arrowverse is concluding and there are no intentions for Lucifer to be featured in any non-Arrowverse DC endeavors. Though there are no ongoing spinoffs in progress, the creators have explored the potential for an animated series or a musical centered around Lucifer. There remains an eagerness to delve into the character through various mediums.
Is there a continuation planned for Lucifer and his human friends beyond season 6? After Lucifer becomes God in season 5, his daughter Rory travels from the future to confront him about his disappearance. Initially canceled in 2017, the series was revived by Netflix for a 10-episode season 4 due to fan demand. Netflix then ordered season 5, initially intending it to be the final season, but changed their minds. Season 5 consisted of 16 episodes released in two parts. Despite production challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, season 6 premiered on September 10, 2021. It includes callbacks and a special animated episode. Season 6 concludes the storylines of Lucifer becoming God and his romantic relationship with Chloe. However, fans are still wondering about the potential for a season 7 or appearances in other future projects.
Lucifer Season 7 Isn't Happening Because The Showrunners "Stuck The Landing"
Unfortunately, season 6 marks the end of the Lucifer series for fans. Initially, Netflix had canceled the show after season 5, but then changed course and announced on the show's Twitter account that season 6 would be the final season. The crew of Lucifer signed a new deal for a 10-episode season 6 to wrap up the story. While there is a possibility that Netflix could order more Lucifer content in the form of a movie or miniseries, as of now, there is no indication of a season 7, episode 1. Showrunners Joe Henderson and Ildy Modrovich have also expressed that they are finished with the Fallen Angel's story. They struggled with renewing for season 6 but ultimately concluded that it was best for the narrative. They have made it clear that season 6 will indeed be the end of the show, with no plans to continue the story into a season 7.
Lucifer Will Not Return For An Arrowverse Crossover
Tom Ellis returned as Lucifer Morningstar for another crossover in the Arrowverse. While the character was never officially part of the Arrowverse, Ellis made an official appearance in Crisis on Infinite Earths in 2019, keeping his cameo a secret. Despite this, the Arrowverse continued to acknowledge the Multiverse after Crisis, which is also utilized in the Lucifer series.
However, the future of the Arrowverse after The Flash series finale, season 9 episode 13, "A New World, Part 4," marks the end of the TV superhero franchise, thus eliminating the possibility of Lucifer appearing in the Arrowverse as a substitute for Lucifer season 7. It remains uncertain if Lucifer will make appearances in other DC movies or TV shows outside of the Arrowverse.
Lucifer Spinoffs In Development
Currently, there are no Lucifer spinoffs in development or planned. The series finale of Lucifer provided satisfying conclusions for all of the main characters, including Mazikeen, Ella Lopez, Dr. Linda Martin, and Amenadiel. It culminated with Chloe and Lucifer spending eternity together in the afterlife, where Chloe eventually passed away with Rory by her side. Barring any changes from Netflix, season 6 marked the definitive end of Lucifer.
Despite the apparent conclusion of the series, there may still be opportunities to explore more of Lucifer's world, even if it's not in the form of a seventh season. The showrunners have discussed the potential for a revival, with ideas ranging from an animated series to a Broadway musical titled "Lucifer The Musical". While a seventh season is unlikely, there continues to be a widespread interest in stories involving Lucifer Morningstar.
