Netflix have thrown out some pretty big hitters recently, but it looks like none of them can keep up with Lucifer as it has just been named the most binge-watched show on the platform this week.

Season four hit the top spot just over one week after its release according to TV Time’s Binge Report, beating even HBO’s penultimate episode of Game Of Thrones by taking an extra 7.5% of the binge watches.

It’s not exactly surprising. Lucifer has one of the most determined fandoms in the entire world, proven by their determination to get the show back on the air after Fox cancelled it in 2018. Thankfully, Netflix were on board and quickly picked it up for a fourth season.



And now they’ve set their sights on a fifth series, it’s unlikely the streaming service will be able to drop it. In just one day, thousands had already binged the newest series and launched a campaign encouraging Netflix to renew it already.


Netflix usually wait a month or two after a premiere to announce the next series, but after bosses have been a little cancel-happy lately (RIP Friends From College) it’s no wonder fans are anxious to hear any news.

Lucifer showrunners have already said they’ve planned out an ‘awesome’ first scene of the fifth series. Joe Henderson told Entertainment Weekly: ‘We did spend some time digging into what we think can be season 5. We even have the first scene [of season 5], which is one of my favorite things we’ve ever come up with.’

‘We do have an idea. It’s an idea that when it came up in the room, we went, “Oh god, that’s crazy.” Then the more we talked about it, the more we went, “and brilliant’,’ added Ildy Modrovich.

Hopefully Netflix do have plans to renew Lucifer for a new series, if not for the fans then for the devil himself, Tom Ellis, as he’s very happy with his new home on the platform. ‘We can swear if we want to, we can show more flesh,’ he said of the refreshed show.

‘It’s not gratuitous but it’s fun. We might push it an extra 10 percent, but it hasn’t become a different show at all.’

Tom is quite keen to bring the gang back together for a fifth season as he doesn’t believe they’ve ‘finished’ telling Lucifer’s story yet. ‘We’ll just have to see what Netflix says,’ he teased.

Yes, Netflix, can you get right on that? Cheers.
