Lucifer – Picture: Warner Bros. Television and Netflix
If you can believe it, the final sixth season of Lucifer arrived on Netflix over 9 months ago as of June 2022. The show is a remarkable case study for Netflix given that it revived the show not once but twice! Despite the time now between the final season and now, fans are still hungry for more and continue actively campaigning for a Lucifer movie or a spin-off of some form.
Lucifer managed to do the unthinkable twice getting renewed at Netflix following its cancelation at Fox and then getting a sixth season renewal following the original plan to make the fifth season the final season.
The show was one of Netflix’s most popular titles last year picking up 258.91 million hours viewed for season 6 alone between September 5th and October 10th, 2021.
Why fans want a Lucifer movie at Netflix
We spoke to a number of fans who continue to campaign for a new entry for Lucifer (mainly via Twitter) and asked them why they want to see the show return in some form.
Pau (who goes by the username of fancybritishman) told us they wanted to see a more conclusive ending

Another fan called Gabi (@perfectdecker) told us:
I think Deckerstar Wedding will be one of the main plots they will write, because there were many hints about that. And also hints of Chloe wants to be an angel and she is also like a celestial for the immortals. And, to be honest, as an archangel, she could control her kingdom easier, and she could have freedom when she wants to.
The showrunners said since 2018 they wanted to continue with the show somehow after S6, so it is not only my opinion, but also their idea.”
A fan by the name of Kayla says there are numerous open questions following season 6. She asks “what happens to Trixie? Is she the only one who doesn’t get to be with her family after she dies?” adding “And then there’s Ella. What happens with her? Don’t get me wrong, the show was amazing. A movie to wrap it all up would be so great. Rory could have a show of her own.”
At the same time that a story focused on Rory, or any other tale that branches from the original show, could be easily successful by following popular tropes among the general public, the writers are extremely talented and could make this potential story into something we’ve never seen before and be successful nonetheless.
Most of all, the characters of Lucifer are so well written that we, as a public, were able to build a strong emotional connection to them, which allows a new story to thrive easily and be worth begging for. Besides, in a celestial universe, exciting and original plots have the sky as its limit.”

The reality is a third revival may be ultimately out of reach in the short term. As we’ve recently covered, the cast and crew of Lucifer have all been snapped up with other projects either away or with Netflix.
For instance, Tom Ellis has recently finished filming his new movie, Players. Aimee Garcia has recently wrapped up filming of the 47 Ronin sequel and showrunner Joe Henderson is working on a live-action Pokemon project for the streamer.
