It feels like we've been waiting an eternity for the second half of Lucifer Season 5, which ended on a major midseason finale cliffhanger that left us wanting more. If you've been sending up a few quick prayers that Lucifer returns soon for Part 2, we have good news! The second-to-last season is officially set to return in May.
The midseason finale saw Lucifer (Tom Ellis) and Amenadiel (D.B. Woodside) duke it out with their brother Michael, only for God (Dennis Haysbert) to finally show up after five seasons of ghosting his kids in order to break up the fight.
In season 5B, which was delayed due to the pandemic, Lucifer, Amenadiel, and Michael will get to spend some quality time with dear old dad; however, that might not be a good thing when it comes to Lucifer's growth, EW cites.
"It takes him back to a very primal place, and his feelings are very raw," Ellis told EW in August. "I'm just so happy and so proud of what we've done. The first two episodes of the second half of season 5 are my two favorite episodes of the season, without a doubt."
When is Lucifer season 5, part 2 released on Netflix?
The first half of season five landed on Netflix back on August 21, 2020. However, at the time fans were warned not to expect the final eight episodes any time soon.
This is because they were delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic shutting down production when filming episode 16. Thankfully at the end of 2020, it was announced filming had been able to conclude on season five as post-production began.
Since then, fans have been patiently waiting for any news about the new episodes’ release date. Now it has finally been confirmed the new episodes will be out on Friday, May 28.
Thanks to an update on the Lucifer Netflix page, we now know that season 5b on Lucifer will release on Netflix worldwide.

Since we posted the date, Netflix has seemingly removed the release date for Lucifer season 5 part 2 with the message on the page only stating “More episodes coming soon”. However, later that day, all of the Netflix accounts piled in on announcing the official date of May 28th, 2021.

It’s worth noting that the episode titles were announced up until March 12th, 2020 which is before the renewal of Lucifer season 6 so we’re not yet sure whether any episode titles will change but we have no doubt that it will affect the meat of the final episode as we’ll move onto in a just a second, according to What's on Netflix.
| Lucifer is a fantasy comedy-drama revolving around Lucifer Morningstar (aka The Devil), who moves to Los Angeles after tiring of his demanding job as the Lord of Hell, reported Radio Times. He quickly becomes entangled with an LAPD detective named Chloe Decker and the two of them develop a complicated bond that always appears to be right on the cusp of romance. Based on a character created by Neil Gaiman for The Sandman comic-book series, Lucifer has superhuman strength and invulnerability, as well as the power to make people tell him their secret desires. Over the course of the series, Lucifer and his allies take on a large number of murder cases as well as some supernatural threats – but they will be facing perhaps their strangest challenge yet in season five. Season four of Lucifer is currently streaming exclusively on Netflix, the streaming provider that willed it into existence. However, due to an existing licensing deal, earlier episodes are yet to be added. You’ll have to head over to Amazon Prime Video if you want to stream the first three seasons of Lucifer in the UK, but these older installments are expected to make the leap to Netflix eventually – there’s just no word on exactly when. |
