Lucifer Season 5B Photos: God Looms Large, [Spoiler] Is Arrested, Dan Flies, A (Romantic?) Reunion And More
With one month to go until Lucifer returns with the back half of Season 5, TVLine has your exclusive first look at a flurry of new photos — each one more curious than the next.
Premiering Friday, May 28 on Netflix (watch new trailer above), "We pick up literally two seconds from where we ended," DB Woodside told TVLine, with God (guest sar Dennis Haysbert) breaking up a fight between "children" Lucifer (Tom Ellis), Amenadiel (Woodside) and Michael (also Tom Ellis).
Having Dad walking the Earth, it goes without saying, is quite a thing. And as viewers will learn, he is not there simply to settle a sibling squabble. "When God comes, you know, a lot of chaos is going to follow...," Woodside previewed. Among other things, "We're finally going to dive into some of these storylines about the relationship between Lucifer and God, and the relationship between Amenadiel and God."
Guest stars for Season 5B include Rob Benedict (aka Supernatural's own God) as a mercenary who lands in the crosshairs of Chloe and the LAPD; Friday Night Lights alum Scott Porter as Carol Corbett, a buttoned-up detective from Dan's past who joins the LAPD and quickly strikes up a connection with Ella; Merrin Dungey (Alias) as Sonya, a no-nonsense cop who forms an unlikely bond with Woodside's angel; and Brianna Hildebrand (Trinkets, The Exorcist) as Rory, a rebellious and angsty angel hoping to follow in Lucifer's footsteps.
Check out the brand-new photos below, each accompanied by a fun, but non-spoilery, tease about what's ahead....
OH, GOD
Is God here to A) simmer down his squabbling children, B) tend to far more important family business, C) sell lots of cozy-looking cardigans, D) confront Dan about the woman they have in common, E) fawn over his new grandchild, F) deliver some of the series' very biggest laughs, or G) all of the above?
PICTURE PERFECT
Given the events of Season 5A, Ella (played by Aimee Garcia) has to wonder if she will forever be drawn to bad boys. If only there was some special way for her to express what she is feeling....
READY FOR TAKEOFF
The fourth new episode is a wild one for Detective Dan (Kevin Alejandro) — and one of the strangest Lucifer episodes yet. Among other things, it asks the question: Can a celestial being be summoned like an Uber?
ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT!
Yes, that is Linda (Rachael Harris) in handcuffs, at the cop shop. For what has she been arrested? And why isn't she fighting the charge? Brace yourself for an emotional ending to this one.
'THE COUPLE WHO CRIED RELATIONSHIP'
Pop quiz! Who says the quote above, in reference to "Deckerstar"?
REUNITED, AND IT FEELS SO...?
When last we checked in, Lucifer showrunners Joe Henderson and Ildy Modrovich would reveal nothing about Eve's reappearance in the back half of Season 5, "Other than we love Inbar [Lavi], and we're very excited to have her back." But will Maze be excited to see her unrequited love...?
READY TO TACKLE A FINALE
A regular ol' high school football field plays into the second new (and musical) episode, but this photo above from the Season 5 finale suggests a full-on stadium is needed to contain all of the action. Does this mean that the unanticipated Season 6 is effectively "overtime"?
