When is Lucifer season 4 coming to Netflix? We’re used to seeing new episodes in September, but fans should expect to wait much longer for this season.

Netflix saved Lucifer after FOX canceled the series following three successful seasons at the network. Lucifer season 4 is heading exclusively to Netflix, but when?

Since the save, fans have been desperately seeking out news regarding their fourth season and when to expect the new season. Unfortunately, Netflix has not announced an estimated release date yet, but we’re able to put the pieces together to figure out when the new season is coming to Netflix.

In an interview with TV Line, Lucifer showrunners Joe Henderson and Ildy Modrovich revealed the episode count (10 episodes) and production start date for the new season (August 2018) From that, we can predict when the new season will be added to Netflix.

Fans are used to seeing Lucifer air towards the end of September. Due to the slightly later start date for production, it is highly unlikely that we’ll see Lucifer air at the end of September or even possibly before the end of 2018. Upsetting I know, but for a show loved by so many and after all the hard work by everyone to save Lucifer, waiting until the new year does not seem like too much of a task, does it?

Given that we know there are 10 episodes for this season and that Netflix often releases a complete series/season at one time, we can estimate that season 4 will not be available to stream until the first quarter of 2019.

It’s tough to wait it out but no doubt as with the other seasons they’ve given us, it will be very much worth the wait!

This date is obviously just a prediction, going by what we know regarding production processes. We will hopefully have a more concrete date to give out later this year.

The first three seasons of the series are currently on Hulu, at least in the United States. Those seasons are also heading to Netflix soon. We’ll let you know more about those seasons when we find out.
