Lucifer showrunner admits season 5 delay is driving her ‘stir crazy’

May 4, 2020

As the coronavirus lockdown forces television productions to take a lengthy hiatus, the showrunner of one of Netflix’s most popular series, Lucifer, has taken to Twitter to share her quarantine experience.

The worldwide coronavirus pandemic has caused significant upheaval in the entertainment industry.

World leaders are still encouraging non-essential workers to exercise strict lockdown practices, meaning the cast and crew of the hottest TV shows of the moment have had to put filming on hold.

Although the majority of Lucifer’s fifth season, its second overall for streaming service Netflix, had been completed, the lockdown was put in place just before the team could finish the finale.

When fans last tuned in to the Earthly adventures of fallen angel Lucifer Morningstar (played by Tom Ellis) and his intrepid detective partner, Chloe Decker (Lauren German), the devilish heartthrob had just made a shocking decision.

Lucifer ending: The real reason Lucifer hasn’t told Chloe he loves her

Seeming to succumb to the sinister prophecy of Father Kinley (Graham McTavish), Lucifer kisses his first love Chloe and takes back his throne in Hell to fend off demonic forces.

With such an enticing cliffhanger wrapping up the fourth season, fan theories have ranged all the way from devastating consequences, to major deaths and romantic happy endings.

Showrunner Ildy Madrovich was recently prompted on Twitter to reveal some of season five’s juicy details Netflix has so far kept tightly under wraps.

One fan asked: “Hi hope you’re having a great day, can you give us a little tease about Lucifer season five?”

To which showrunner Ildy responded: “I’m sworn to secrecy at the moment. So… going stir crazy on several levels.”

Ildy’s comments confirm she is struggling to come to terms with the temporary new way of life that has challenged populations around the globe.

Unfortunately, the writers have had to remain tight-lipped about the highly anticipated fifth season.

However, episode titles for all 16 episodes of the new instalment have been revealed, and fans have spotted clues for pivotal scenes including grisly deaths and steamy sex scenes.

It has been confirmed the fifth season will be released in two sets of eight episodes, though Netflix has not yet set an official release date for the season.

Moreover, following reports of contract disputes between Netflix and Tom Ellis, the much rumoured sixth season of Lucifer may soon be off the cards.

Co-showrunner Joe Henderson provided an intriguing morsel of insight for Lucifer season five, confirming the upcoming new episodes will be even more ambitious than ever.

Taking to Twitter, Joe said: “Fellow writers — what is the longest single scene you’ve written? Because I just watched mine — and it’s 11 minutes and 27 seconds. One room, five actors, took two long days to shoot and it is AWESOME.”

Season five is already set to feature a 1940s film noir musical episode filmed entirely in black and white, so devoted viewers are already excited for the most experimental season of the fantasy drama so far.

Joe didn’t reveal the content of the 11 minute scene, but a lengthy sequence involving five actors implies some gripping character drama and major reveals are on the way.

Lucifer season five will continue the story with episode one, Really Sad Devil Guy.

Lucifer seasons 1-3 are available on Amazon Prime. Lucifer season 4 is available on Netflix.
