Lucifer Season 6 Episode 8

“This is the worst idea the doctor has ever had.”

It’s the rare episode of Lucifer that moves outside its comfort zone of dead bodies, shady suspects, and puzzling evidence, but “Save the Devil, Save the World” does just that as it hones in on a much bigger problem. The end of the world appears nigh, and no one knows why.

While the introspective offering ventures into clip-show territory, the past scenes never feel obtrusive, nor do they stand in the way of fresh, new material. It’s fascinating to learn how others see you, and that’s certainly a big part of “Save the Devil, Save the World.” But it’s how we see ourselves that becomes the focal point of Team Lucifer’s reaction to Doctor Linda’s book about their leader. Of course, the greatest revelation is Lucifer...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Lucifer Season 6 Episode 8 “Save the Devil, Save the World.”] It’s time for Lucifer’s (Tom Ellis) final therapy session with Dr. Linda Martin (Rachael Harris) — and for everyone to find out about her book (and how she portrays them in it) — as we reach the drama’s final episodes. And just as he makes a decision about his future as God after failing to take the throne all season, his brother, the angel Amenadiel (D.B. Woodside), returns with news that will likely bring down his good mood. Meanwhile, forensic scientist Ella Lopez (Aimee Garcia) is finally in on everything after figuring it all (and more) out herself, and she remains hurt that no one told her the truth. But some words from someone not in the know might be just what she needs to hear. Another Problem as They Face the End of the World Now that Ella has...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Lucifer Season 6 Episode 5 “The Murder of Lucifer Morningstar.”] Well, Dr. Linda Martin (Rachael Harris) was looking for a challenge after having God (Dennis Haysbert) on her couch, and she gets one as Lucifer‘s final season continues: future child angst faced by present-day parents. And she’s not the only one taking her job to the next level in “The Murder of Lucifer Morningstar” because Chloe Decker (Lauren German) decides it’s time to put her detective hat on once again to solve a mystery: the title of the episode. Plus, Maze (Lesley-Ann Brandt) and Eve (Inbar Lavi) are planning their wedding — and honeymoon (that’s where the spikes and moat will come in), and forensic scientist Ella Lopez (Aimee Garcia), the only one in the dark about the truth about her friends, may know more than anyone could even guess. History Won’t Repeat Itself Following Rory (Brianna Hildebrand) calling her “Mom,...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Lucifer Season 6 Episode 3 “Yabba Dabba Do Me.”] Lucifer (Tom Ellis) is still on a quest to prove he can be God, and in “Yabba Dabba Do Me,” he finally seems to figure it all out… just before his entire world is upended. Sure, he started caring about Carol Corbett (Scott Porter). But sort of off Dr. Linda Martin’s (Rachael Harris) suggestion, Lucifer decides to help someone with whom there’s no chance of that happening again: the first criminal he and Chloe Decker (Lauren German) caught together, Jimmy Barnes, who killed the devil’s friend. He may be dead, but that makes it “almost easier,” Lucifer admits. He can just pop down to hell. Chloe insists on joining him; Amenadiel’s (D.B. Woodside) necklace makes her incredibly strong, so it’ll help her survive a trip to hell. Once down there, she spots Lucifer’s throne (“it looks so...

Netflix dropped the trailer for the upcoming sixth and final (for real this time) season of “Lucifer” on Tuesday, revealing that Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis) and Chloe Decker (Lauren German) are having a hard time letting go of their normal(ish) life in Los Angeles and heading up to the Silver City so the once-Devil can take his rightful place on the throne after earning the title of God.

“What’s the rush? Becoming God is a big job. Maybe he doesn’t want to go in half-cocked,” Chloe says to Amenadiel, when he comes to tell Lucifer it’s time for him to ascend. “I should definitely be full-cocked,” Lucifer adds.

While the almost-Lord on High and his soulmate are procrastinating, Ella (Aimee Garcia) says the “apocalypse” appears to be on its way and a mysterious angel with red wings (played by Brianna Hildebrand) is seeking vengeance on Lucifer for some reason.

"Lucifer" is about to raise holy hell for the last time, as Netflix has revealed the premiere date for the sixth and final season of the Tom Ellis-led heavenly drama.

Announced by the devil himself during a virtual panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday, the debut date for "Lucifer" Season 6 is Sept. 10.

The series stars Ellis as Lucifer Morningstar, Lauren German as Detective Chloe Decker, Kevin Alejandro as Detective Dan Espinoza, D.B. Woodside as Amenadiel, Lesley-Ann Brandt as Maze, Aimee Garcia as Ella Lopez and Rachael Harris as Dr. Linda Martin.

“Lucifer” aired its first three seasons on Fox before being canceled at that network and then quickly resurrected by Netflix, where it is streamed Seasons 4 and 5. The fifth season -- which was originally announced as the final, before Netflix changed its mind and ordered a sixth and Real final -- was broken up into two halves, with...

“It’s always more fun to play a baddie,” Tom Ellis declares with a knowing grin about playing the titular Devil on Netflix’s blockbuster fantasy drama “Lucifer.” For our recent webchat, he adds, “It is cathartic in a way, as an actor, to be able to play a character that says everything that you probably would want to say in real life, but can’t get away with saying.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.

Ellis is the leading actor as Lucifer Morningstar, the Devil himself, who abandons Hell for Los Angeles where he runs his nightclub Lux and consults for the LAPD. The series co-stars Lauren German as Detective Chloe Decker, Kevin Alejandro as Detective Dan Espinoza, D. B.

Dennis Haysbert arrives as a “terrible father” — but one hell of a cook

Salvation is here, Lucifans: Netflix delivered the trailer for Season 5B of “Lucifer” Friday, revealing what Tom Ellis’ Lucifer and Tom Ellis’ Michael have in store for them when their dad God (Dennis Haysbert) comes down from on high in the final eight episodes of the show’s penultimate installment.

Watch the trailer via the video above.

In the first look at the final batch of episodes, God wows his family/guests with food, but underwhelms in the whole dad department. And when He decides it is time to retire, twins Lucifer and Michael fight over the role.

Here’s the official description for “Lucifer” Season 5B: “In Part B of the stunning fifth season of Lucifer, God himself comes to Earth. Secrets will be revealed, heroic sacrifices will be made, and the world will never be the same.

The “Lucifer” Season 5B premiere date has risen. Netflix revealed Monday that the second half of the fifth season of the Tom Ellis-led drama will launch May 28.

That upcoming installment of “Lucifer” is set as the show’s penultimate, following Netflix’s June 2020 renewal of “Lucifer” for a sixth and final season. The eight-episode Part 1 of Season 5 launched last August.

“Imagine running a marathon and then getting right to the end and then they go, ‘Oh, by the way, the finish line is a little bit further.'” That’s how Ellis, who plays Lucifer Morningstar, described to TheWrap Netflix’s decision to renew “Lucifer” for a sixth and final season, after previously picking it up for a fifth and final season, after rescuing it for a fourth season following its cancellation at Fox after its third season.

“We’ve been through this whole journey of cancellation, then #SaveLucifer,...

(Warning: This post contains spoilers through the Season 5A finale of “Lucifer.”)

“Supernatural” alum Richard Speight Jr. directed two episodes of the fifth and final season of “Lucifer.” Well, he directed two episodes of what was originally planned as the fifth and final season of “Lucifer,” until Netflix decided to renew the Tom Ellis-led drama for additional sixth and truly final season.

That surprise Season 6 pickup didn’t come until after Speight had wrapped production on both of his Season 5 episodes — “BlueBallz,” which dropped with Season 5A last month, and “A Little Harmless Stalking,” which will launch with Season 5B at a later date — meaning he, and everyone else, believed those installments were going to be leading up to the show’s grand finale.

But Speight tells TheWrap he’s confident that the fortunate turn of events that changed his final season episodes into just Season 5 episodes, especially the...

Chloe got a major bomb dropped on her and it seems she's not yet over it.

In Lucifer Season 5 Episode 4, Trixie shows up to Lucifer's without her mom for game night.

First things first, Yay for more Trixie content.

Trixie: Grown-up problems. Not interested. Also, who cares where my mom is?

Lucifer: Well, me for one.

Trixie: It’s game night, and Trixie’s in the house.

Trying to get things back to the way things used to be, Lucifer had a night of snacks and Monopoly set up. Since it was just the two of them, though, Trixie convinced Lucifer to tell her the story behind his ring.

This episode was a fun, black-and-white, noir detective story. Lucifer tells her the true story about the ring, with a few different faces. Except for one, that is.

The story begins in 1946 at the...

We’re now just days away from Lucifer season 5A arriving on Netflix, the first batch of episodes of what’s the DC supernatural series’ penultimate season. Now feels like a good time to hop ahead into the future, then, and take a look at what we already know about Lucifer season 6, which was only just officially announced back in June.

We first heard that season 5 might not be the last one in February, but then doubt was cast on a sixth season in April due to a contractual dispute with star Tom Ellis. Eventually this was worked out, though, and things were able to move forward. Since then, all the major players have signed up to return alongside Ellis, including D.B. Woodside as Amenadiel, Lesley-Ann Brandt as Maze, Rachel Harris as Linda Martin and, yes, Lauren German as Chloe Dekker.

With the cast locked in, the next thing that...

Lucifer is back and acting…strange. Netflix has dropped the first full-length trailer for season 5 part 1 of the satanic series ‘Lucifer’.

In season 5, part 1 Lucifer makes a tumultuous return, Chloe rethinks romance, Ella finally finds a nice guy, and Amenadiel adjusts to the whole fatherhood thing.

Netflix dropped the trailer for the first half of Season 5 of “Lucifer” on Monday, revealing that Lucifer (Tom Ellis) will be returning from hell much sooner than you probably anticipated. Oh, wait, that’s because it’s not actually Lucifer — it’s his evil twin, Michael.

In the trailer for Season 5A, which you can watch via the video above, Chloe (Lauren German) is trying desperately to move on with her life after Lucifer’s decision to return to run his fiery kingdom at the end of Season 4. She has been focusing on work and hanging with Maz (Lesley-Ann Brandt) in hopes of healing — and then Lucifer pops right back up from the depths of hell. Except, um, we soon find out that who we think is Lucifer is his twin — and a rather evil one at that — Michael.

Here’s the official description for the first half of “Lucifer” Season 5, which launches Aug.

Netflix has saved “Lucifer” once again. The streaming service has renewed the Tom Ellis-led drama for a sixth season and final season after previously announcing the show’s upcoming fifth season, which premieres this August, would be its final.

The announcement was made via a tweet from the show’s official account Tuesday morning: “the devil made us do it. #lucifer will return for a sixth and final season. like, Final final.”

Netflix resurrected “Lucifer” back in June 2018, picking the series up for a fourth season after it had been canceled by Fox. Season 4 debuted on the streaming service almost a year later, in May 2019, and one month after the launch, Netflix renewed “Lucifer” for a 16-episode fifth and final season set to debut in 2020.

Netflix has finally set the premiere date for the first half of Season 5 of “Lucifer” with an announcement that is missing any mention of this being the show’s final season.

On Monday, the streaming service dropped a 66.6-second video of “the hottest, sexiest, most downright devilish moments” from the first four seasons of the Tom Ellis-led drama, which you can view above and here. At the end of the clip, it’s revealed that “Lucifer” Season 5A will launch Aug. 21.

Though the teaser doesn’t show any footage from the new batch of episodes, Netflix has offered up this description: “Lucifer (Ellis), bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell, resigns his throne and abandons his kingdom for the gorgeous, shimmering insanity of Los Angeles, where he gets his kicks helping the LAPD…and the savvy detective Chloe Decker (Lauren German) in particular. In the stunning fifth season of Lucifer,...

“Lucifer” is coming to an end, but it turns out Lucifans will have a little more time to hold on to their favorite devil, as star Tom Ellis has revealed the upcoming fifth and final season of the show will be split into two parts.

Previously, Netflix announced “Lucifer’s” last season would consist of 16 episodes. So now we know the Season 5A will have the first eight episodes and Season 5B will have the back eight.

Ellis broke the news to Kelly Clarkson, her mom, her sister and “The Kelly Clarkson Show” viewers at home on Monday. Readers can watch him spill the beans around the 4-minute mark in the video above.

While Tom shared that happy news, he didn’t share a Season 5 premiere date, something fans have been dying to know since the show...

Hallelujah! Netflix has blessed the fifth and final season of “Lucifer” with an additional six episodes, bringing the grand total for the supernatural drama’s last run to 16.

The streaming service announced last month that it would end the Tom Ellis-led drama with a 10-episode fifth and final season to launch in 2020. No premiere date has been given for what is now a 16-episode Season 5.

“Lucifer” Season 4 dropped May 8 on Netflix, close to a year after the streamer revived the show following its cancellation at Fox. The 10-episode fourth season ended with one hell of a cliffhanger, which Ellis broke down for TheWrap here.

Rest assured you will get the ending you deserve, “Lucifer” fans, as we now know how long the fifth and final season of the devilish drama will be — thanks to a curious fan on Twitter.

“Ildy! Do you have any idea how many episodes would #LuciferSeason5 have? We’re very curious! Do please tell us!” the user tweeted just after midnight on Monday, addressing “Lucifer” co-showrunner Ildy Modrovich.

“It’s 10… And we’re going to make every minute count!!” Modrovich responded.

Deckstar fans might be taken aback by the Season 4 trailer for “Lucifer,” which reveals Chloe (Lauren German) is seemingly Ok after seeing Lucifer’s (Tom Ellis) true face — but that doesn’t mean she can accept him for who he truly is. You know who can, though? His “first love” Eve (Inbar Lavi). That’s right, Eve, of Adam and Eve.

The one-minute, 56-second trailer, released by Netflix on Thursday, we see the Detective return from a trip after discovering Lucifer actually is the Devil himself at the end of Season 3. And because she just wants to get back to work, Lucifer decides she’s clearly in denial. However, it starts to become clear — very quickly — something else is going on with Chloe, and she may not be ready for all this heaven and hell business after all. Enter: Eve.

We don’t know how the original sinner got to town,...

The fourth season of “Lucifer” debuts next month, and whether you are a Lucifan who just needs a quick series-refresher or someone who has literally no idea what the Tom Ellis-led drama is about, Netflix has you covered with a crash course on Seasons 1-3.

Or, more specifically, the Devil himself does. In a promo released by the streaming service Friday, Lucifer (Ellis) recaps the first three seasons of the former Fox series ahead of the show’s Season 4 launch on its new platform on May 8.

“You know, Lucifer used to be God’s favorite Angel. Those were the days. Oh, where to start. Well, I’m the Devil,” Lucifer says, as he pours himself a drink before launching into his three-season recap, which you can view below.

And once you’re all caught up thanks to Ellis, here’s the description for Season 4: “Reeling from the aftermath...

So much smiling is going on in our first look at “Lucifer” Season 4, but we can’t yet tell if any of it is good.

In new photos released from the former-Fox drama’s upcoming fourth season of Netflix on Thursday, which you can view below, Lucifer (Tom Ellis) is hanging with two very different ladies: Eve (Inbar Lavi) and Chloe (Lauren German). And while Chloe appears to be smiling at Lucifer in a forgiving way that is going to tug at Team Deckstar fans’ heartstrings in the most sinful way possible, Eve’s smirky intro is equally entertaining.

Here’s the description for Season 4: “Reeling from the aftermath of Chloe seeing his devil face, Lucifer faces a new challenge: Eve, the original sinner herself, is back. Does she want revenge for when he tempted her out of Eden oh so many years ago … or something else entirely?...

Hallelujah, Lucifans! We’ve reached the Promised Land, as “Lucifer” has finally received a Season 4 premiere date at Netflix.

The former Fox drama’s return date was unveiled in a teaser dropped by the streaming service Wednesday, which revealed the fourth season of “Lucifer” will launch May 8. The short clip, which you can view above, also revealed a whole lot of star Tom Ellis.

Here’s the description for Season 4: “Reeling from the aftermath of Chloe seeing his devil face, Lucifer faces a new challenge: Eve, the original sinner herself, is back. Does she want revenge for when he tempted her out of Eden oh so many years ago … or something else entirely?”

“Lucifer” found salvation with Netflix last spring, when the streaming service ordered a fourth season of the show...

Fox may have canceled Lucifer, but there are two unaired bonus episodes from season 3 that will be shown on the network later this month.

Titled "Boo Normal" and "Once Upon a Time", the two unaired episodes of Lucifer Season 3 will be shown back to back on Fox on Monday, May 28th at 8:00pm Et. Although they are new episodes from the third season, these episodes are not expected to follow the game-changing events of the third season finale, but will instead take place earlier in the season.

We have additional photos and details of the new episodes below (via SpoilerTV), and it's definitely worth noting that Neil Gaiman (the co-creator of the Vertigo comic book series version of Lucifer) will narrate "Once Upon a Time" as the voice of God.

At this time, Lucifer has not been picked up by another network, but we'll be sure to keep you...

Some good news for Lucifer fans. Fox says it will air two “bonus” episodes that were filmed earlier this spring. The episodes were scheduled to air in the fourth season, which of course, is not happening following the show’s cancellation.

The back-to-back “Boo Normal”/”Once Upon A Time” episodes will air Monday, May 28 beginning at 8 Pm, two weeks after the now-series finale.

This isn’t a first. Fox previously produced four stand-alone episodes in Season 2 that aired in the third season.

Per the network’s description for the bonus episodes: As Lucifer (Tom Ellis) and the team investigate the murder of a child psychiatrist, Ella (Aimee Garcia) thinks about a big childhood secret that she’s been hiding. Then, after Lucifer’s mom creates an alternate dimension, Lucifer now lives in a world where he not only has never met Chloe (Lauren German), but is granted the freedom of choice.

Lucifer viewers might be in for a double heartbreak. Not only has Fox canceled the devilish series after three seasons, but showrunner Joe Henderson says his team created a season finale “with a huge cliffhanger” that’s going to “frustrate the hell” out of fans.

“We created a season finale with a huge cliffhanger so that there was no way Fox could cancel us,” Henderson tweeted this afternoon after getting the news. “Instead, we’re going to frustrate the hell out of you fans. I’m so sorry for that.”

Henderson followed up the apology with a promise that the finale “is the best hour of television I’ve been lucky to write,” and reassured fans that the episode “wraps up everything from the season,” though “what it teases for season 4… well, maybe, just maybe, we can #SaveLucifer and show you.”

Minutes earlier, Henderson had confirmed the cancelation with a tweet saying,...

Much of the debate around recent religious freedom laws in the U.S. has centered on legislation ostensibly designed to protect the beliefs of conservative Christians that nonetheless directly impacts those who don’t share those beliefs. But what about instances where the law protects actions only within the ranks of the faithful, yet those actions (or inactions) are deemed abhorrent by many outside their community?

“No Greater Law” investigates one such case, in which Idaho government officials faced pressure regarding a particular congregation’s refusal to treat parishioners’ medical issues with anything more than prayer — a religious choice that’s resulted in childhood death rates 10 times the state average. Tom Dumican’s scrupulously neutral documentary examines a type of conflict likely to become more and more common in a current climate in which evangelical forces are gaining political clout and “separation of church and state” appears to be a value losing its currency.
