Sources tell TVLine that the supernatural-tinged procedural’s sixth and final season will run a total of eight (8) episodes — or half the length of Season 5, which released its first batch of episodes on Aug. 21.
Once filming of that season finale is wrapped, the Lucifer team will segue directly into the start of production on its sixth and truly, sincerely, definitely final, final season.
Season 5B guest stars will include Rob Benedict aka Supernatural‘s own God, as a mercenary who lands in the crosshairs of Lucifer, Chloe and the LAPD.
(Season 5 originally and famously received a 10-episode order, but that got expanded to 16 and is being released in two halves.)
