Tom Ellis hopes Lucifer fans will “be sobbing” over the ending
By Dan Selcke
The sixth and final season of Lucifer drops this Friday, and stars Tom Ellis (Lucifer) and Lauren German (Chloe Decker) are out here teasing what to expect.
According to German, season 6 is all about “Chloe and Lucifer really being a team, and there for each other as a couple.” As she told TVLine, “Usually it’s this push and pull [between them], but this last season we really are on the same team.”
It sounds like things are looking up! But Ellis predicted some tears. “[Season 6 is] a fitting goodbye to our characters [and] leans into everything we’ve earned up to this moment,” he said. “I hope that [the fans will] be sobbing! And I hope their hearts will be filled with joy at same time.”
German describes the ending as “bittersweet” but also crowd-pleasing. “I think ultimately they’ll get what they want to see.”
Lucifer characters have “eye-opening adventures and epiphanies” in final season
As most fans know, Lucifer season 6 wasn’t supposed to happen; season 5, which ended with Lucifer becoming God, was originally going to be the end of the show, but Netflix couldn’t help but order one more season, and here we are.
Happily, it sounds like the team has made the most of it. “I honestly feel like the territory we covered in season six is somewhere we’ve never been before, especially performing the character of Lucifer,” Ellis told TV Guide. “There was a dynamic that I’d not touched on before and how it echoed Lucifer’s feelings of abandonment in the first five seasons.”
"Season six holds up because it was an opportunity for every character in their own way to say goodbye properly, and that never really happens."
German is just as bullish on the final season. “The writers and Tom did such a beautiful job bringing everything together,” she said. “I think people are going to see so many different layers…I mean every character has these sort of eye-opening adventures and epiphanies. I think people are going to like how it ends.”
With reviews as strong as they’ve been, I think German may be right about that:
