Too bad this is the final season. I convinced some co-workers to watch the show this summer and they were not impressed that just when they are getting into it the show is going to be over. lol

Lucifer Named Most Popular Streaming Show of the Year

Quote

Netflix may have lost a million subscribers due to the launch of Disney+, but that doesn't mean they are taking serious hits yet. According to a report from TV Time, the streaming giant accounted for 19 of the 20 most-watched original series on streaming (the outlier being Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale, which comes in at #6). The top of that list? Lucifer, the former FOX series based on the DC/Vertigo comic. Originally set in the Sandman universe, TV's Lucifer is very much its own thing, and recently appeared on The CW's "Crisis on Infinite Earths" event story as part of the Arrowverse for the first time.

 

The #2 spot in the list was taken by Netflix's Stranger Things. Other comics-based hits include The Umbrella Academy and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. There's also Marvel's The Punisher and Jessica Jones, both of which will be leaving the streamer soon due to changes made at Marvel Studios. Lucifer, too, will leave Netflix after its fifth and final season airs in 2020.

 

Of course, the departures of the Marvel shows and Lucifer won't leave Netflix without comics adaptations. In addition to The Umbrella Academy and various Mark Millar adaptations, Netflix is planning a return to the world of DC/Vertigo with The Sandman. No word yet on whether Lucifer star Tom Ellis might reprise his role as Lucifer Morningstar in that series.

 

Yesterday, Fatman Beyond host Marc Bernardin took to social media to pitch Warner Bros. on a miniseries teaming Lucifer with John Constantine (Matt Ryan) -- and both Ryan and Lucifer executive producer Joe Henderson are up for it. The pair shared a scene in "Crisis," in which it was implied that there was some complicated backstory that involved Mazikeen (Lesley-Ann Brandt) and was maybe a little contentious. Bernardin's pitch would be a road trip story, taking the pair from coast to coast.

A sixth season of Lucifer is moving closer to reality after star Tom Ellis has closed a deal to return as the title character.

 

Netflix earlier this year started talks with series producer Warner Bros. TV about another installment of the comic book drama beyond the upcoming fifth season, which had been billed as a final installment. Executive producers Ildy Modrovich and Joe Henderson, who have been steering the show, quickly closed new deals for another season.

 

It took lengthy, difficult negotiations with Ellis but he also recently signed on to return. The rest of the cast are also on board, sources said. With all key pieces in place, Netflix is expected to proceed with the pickup.

 

The plan had been for Lucifer to go back into production in September on Season 6, though the show will need to first finish filming Season 5, which was impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.

 

Lucifer, based on the comic book characters created by Neil Gaiman for DC’s Vertigo Imprint, Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg for Vertigo, stars Tom Ellis, Lauren German, Rachael Harris, DB Woodside, Lesley-Ann Brandt, Aimee Garcia, Tricia Helfer, Scarlett Estevez and Kevin Alejandro.

My wife hated it when this show was cancelled. I only watched the first episode with her and bailed. Big mistake on my part. Recently watched Season 1 via Netflix dvd and liked it. Managed to get Season 4 which we'll finish up tomorrow.Then we'll rewatch S2 & S3 as the dvds roll in and out.
