You can’t keep the devil down. When Fox cancelled Lucifer after three seasons, its passionate fans rallied and got the show picked up by Netflix. After a successful forth season there, the coronavirus hit, bringing Hollywood to a standstill and resulting in some “post-production hiccups” for season 5.
But the show has worked through the pain, and Netflix finally announced the release date for the next season, complete with a video of Lucifer himself (Tom Ellis) getting up to some seriously naughty shenanigans over the past four years:

Yes, he has some kinky sex. He’s the devil, what do you expect?
For those unfamiliar, Lucifer follows the titular character after he leaves his throne in hell and opens up a nightclub in Los Angeles. Because that’s not quite enough excitement for him, he also moonlights as a consultant with the LAPD, where he’s struck up a romance with Detective Chloe Decker (Lauren German).
We don’t know what season 5 will bring for Lucifer and Chloe, but based on one behind-the-scenes pic, they had a pretty good time filming:

Lucifer season 5 arrives on Netflix on August 21. That’s a day before DC holds DC FanDome, a 24-hour virtual convention about all things DC, from the Arrowverse shows on The CW to all the upcoming DC movies to Lucifer — this version of the character technically got his start in the comic book The Sandman, published by DC. Perhaps we’ll hear something about Lucifer season 6 there?
