Lucifer season 5 part 2: Cast, release date and everything else we know
Wondering when the second half of Season 5 of Lucifer is dropping and what to expect? We have you covered.
Lucifer fans have had to be a patient group. The show aired first in 2016 before getting cancelled after season 3 in 2018, but was later saved by Netflix and is currently on the home stretch of finishing its run.
The first half of Season 5 landed in August 2020, but it is split this time around, with a break between the first eight and the last eight episodes.
Fans have been eager for the return of the show following the cliffhanger ending of part one, with the exact release date proving to be a shifting target, as the production had to contend with the outbreak of the pandemic.
Here is what we know about Lucifer Season 5 Part 2…
When is Lucifer Season 5 Part 2 released in the UK?

It is not. However, it is still a significant one as it is set to be the penultimate season of the show. It will undoubtedly set up the pieces for whatever is set to collide during the final season.
We know that that season has finished shooting, with Tom Ellis and other castmates sharing their final moments on set as they say goodbye to the show.
Though it has no release date, we do know it will only be 10 episodes long, with the final episode titled ‘Partners ‘Til The End’.
Where will the final season see Lucifer end up? Season 5 Part 2 will likely have as big a cliffhanger as the first part, meaning that Lucifer fans are in for one hell of a ride.
Lucifer is available to stream on Netflix, with season 5 part 2 debuting on May 28.
