Fans of the Netflix hit Lucifer have been waiting years for news about a possible revival or continuation of the series. The show, which ran from 2016 to 2021, became an instant fan-favorite thanks to its mix of crime-solving, witty humor, and supernatural drama, anchored by Tom Ellis’s charismatic portrayal of Lucifer Morningstar. While the series concluded with its sixth season, recent comments from Ellis have reignited speculation: could the Devil really make a comeback?
Tom Ellis on Returning as Lucifer
In a recent interview, Tom Ellis shared that he would consider returning as Lucifer Morningstar — but only under the right circumstances. He emphasized that the decision would depend on the project’s quality, the creative team behind it, and whether the story feels authentic to the character fans know and love.
Ellis stated, in essence, that he’s open to the idea of revisiting the role, but he’s not willing to compromise the essence of Lucifer for a cash grab or rushed project. Fans should take this as promising news: the door is not closed, but the team behind the scenes needs to get it right.
“I would only return if the story made sense and the team behind it was the right one,” Ellis said. “It has to be something that feels true to the character — otherwise, it’s not worth doing.”
Why Fans Are Excited
The Lucifer fandom is one of the most passionate on the internet. After the series finale, fans flooded social media with calls for more stories featuring the Devil himself. Memes, fan art, and petitions have kept the conversation alive, showing that the appetite for Lucifer content is still huge.
A revival could take several forms:
- A full new season continuing the story of Lucifer and Chloe Decker.
- A limited miniseries exploring specific events after the finale.
- A spin-off series focusing on other beloved characters from the show, such as Maze or Amenadiel.
Tom Ellis’s recent comments suggest that Netflix, or another platform, could explore these options if the timing and storylines are right.
Behind the Scenes: Ellis’s Career Moves
Since Lucifer, Tom Ellis hasn’t been idle. He’s taken on other projects, including leading roles in new series, and has gained international acclaim beyond the Devil. His openness to returning indicates both his attachment to the character and his understanding of the show’s cultural impact.
Ellis has also joked in interviews about the possibility of Lucifer appearing in crossovers or special appearances. While nothing official is planned yet, his willingness keeps the conversation alive.
What This Means for a Revival
The key takeaway? A Lucifer revival is possible, but it must respect the story and characters. Fans shouldn’t expect a rushed announcement, but Ellis’s words suggest the creative team is listening. With Netflix still investing in supernatural and comic-adapted content, there’s a real chance we could see Morningstar striding back onto our screens.
Until then, fans can enjoy revisiting the six seasons of the original series, indulge in fan theories about Lucifer’s future, and stay tuned for any official announcements.
