Netflix is showing sympathy for the devil and extending their stay in Hell with an increased episode order for the final season of Lucifer. Netflix originally ordered ten episodes for the fifth season, but Netflix upped their order to sixteen episodes.

Season four of Lucifer was the first season produced by Netflix. Previously, the show aired on Fox. Season four is available to stream on Netflix now. Watch the trailer below.

Lucifer was first cancelled by Fox after three seasons. Confident that they would be renewed, the producers ended season three of Lucifer on a major cliffhanger. When the show was cancelled anyway, the cliffhanger drove fans to demand a renewal on social media. A #SaveLucifer campaign amassed over one million tweets in the day following the cancellation. The campaign was a success and Netflix picked the series up. Lucifans (Lucifer fans) were thrilled about Netflix’s season five announcement until they learned that season five would be the show’s last. While the uptick in new episodes seems great, sixteen episodes may not be enough for some Lucifans. The Lucifer audience contains some of the most dedicated television fans who are desperate for more of their favorite show. Some fans have started a #LuciferSeasonSix campaign in the hopes of getting another season from Netflix. Showrunner Ildy Modrovich (CSI: Miami) has thanked fans for their passion, but told fans not to expect another season on Twitter: “[The writers and cast] feel just as sad as many of you do that this marvelous ride is coming to an end, a fight won’t change things right now.”

A message of love for our #Lucifans ❤️ from me… @Henderson_Joe all the #Lucifer writers and our beautiful cast… @tomellis17 @LaurenGerman @LesleyAnnBrandt @RachaelEHarris @kevinmalejandro @dbwofficial @Aimee_Garcia and @ScarMestevez pic.twitter.com/8aXb6yfJ7c

Season four of Lucifer premiered in May and season five was confirmed in early June. Season four ended with Chloe, played by Lauren German (Chicago Fire), telling Lucifer, played by Tom Ellis (Isn’t It Romantic), she loves him, but Lucifer is forced to leave her. Lucifer had to return to Hell to keep demons from coming to Earth. The season five announcement confirmed that part of season five will take place in Hell.
