Following protracted negotiations that imperiled a potential sixth season of Lucifer at Netflix, titular leading man Tom Ellis has formally inked a new deal with the show, sources confirm to TVLine exclusively. The development all but assures that Lucifer will be renewed for a sixth season, although a formal pickup has not been made. Netflix also has yet to announce a premiere date for Season 5.
It was back in February that Netflix informed Warner Bros. that it was interested in extending the hellacious drama's lifespan beyond the previously announced (and forthcoming) fifth and "final" season. Two weeks later, the studio closed new deals with co-showrunners Ildy Modrovich and Joe Henderson for a Season 6.
