Lucifer season 4: Tom Ellis may be about to bring the apocalypse

Lucifer (played by Tom Ellis) returns to screens next week on Netflix, and welcomes a brand new love interest: Eve (Inbar Lavi). Eve is the biblical character who is known as the original sinner for being tempted by Lucifer in the Garden of Eden. And although she was once an angel, she has since become as evil as the rest of Lucifer’s demons. But fans are beginning to wonder exactly how she is going to fit into the season four story, and how the end of the world will factor into the plot - if it does at all.


Speculation is rife on the Lucifer Reddit, where viewers have been hard at work theorising what is going to happen in the brand new ten hours of content they will receive in May. One user, SamaritanSue, proposed: “First, where did she come from? Not from Hell, that makes no sense. [Is she] another immortal like Cain?” Viewers will remember Cain (Tom Welling) caused huge problems for Lucifer in season three, resulting in a brutal battle, and eventually his own death. They will also know that Cain is Eve’s son - and considering Eve is supposed to be vengeful, she may be looking for some revenge. However the Redditor went on to add a theory about where season four could go - namely, the end of the world. They continued: “Second. I have a suspicion that the countdown to the End [of the world] began when Lucifer killed Cain, and this is what somehow triggered Eve’s reappearance. The timing can’t be a coincidence.

“Third, the effect she seems to be having on Lucifer. Is she reconnecting him with his power? Because she accepts him as he is?” Could Eve really have returned to Earth to help push along the end of the world? Or is she using Lucifer for another sordid reason? Another viewer went on to add further details about the newcomer from Hell. They wrote: “I’d assume she is immortal, she is Cain’s mother and the original sinner so it would be the only realistic way she is still alive and Lucifer was her first love. “So I could see it going in a weird triangle where Chloe is the option to become an angel again and Eve returns him to devil status or something.”
