After being cancelled by US broadcaster FOX in 2018, the show was revived by Netflix, where it aired a fourth season before reporting another was on the way.

Initially, the upcoming Lucifer season 5 part 2 was believed to be its last instalment, but reports suggest that Netflix are looking to produce a sixth, with the full cast now attached to its return.

Lead actor Tom Ellis (Miranda) had been the only cast member without a contract securing him for season six, but TVLine has learned he has agreed a deal.

The series stars Ellis as Lucifer Morningstar, who resigns from his position as Lord of Hell to join the people of Earth, running a bar in Los Angeles and warding off celestial threats.
