Netflix has released the trailer for the sixth and final season of Lucifer ahead of its September release. And there is a lot to unpack.
THE WITCHER : NIGHTMARE OF THE WOLF MOVIE TRAILER REVIEW
Season five—which wrapped up in late May after airing in two parts across 2020 and 2021, thanks to covid-19 delays—ended on one of Lucifer’s by-now signature cliffhangers; to sum up a lot of celestial shenanigans, it sure looked like Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis), aka the Actual Devil, had ascended to his father’s throne to become... God? Unsurprisingly, the trailer suggests that bizarre state of affairs will shape the show’s final story arcs (“He’s got quite a few mysteries to solve in season six,” Ellis said of his character at the Lucifer San Diego Comic-Con panel last month). It also promises all manner of action, romance, and quirky curve balls (jazz hands, Colombian vacations, animation!) to help wrap things up as memorably as possible. Check it out! :
The trailer starts off with a scene from the upcoming season's premiere episode, with Lucifer (Tom Ellis) and former LAPD detective Chloe Decker (Lauren German) being questioned as witnesses to a murder.
Detective Corbett (Scott Porter) is quickly faced with the absurdity of Lucifer's situation: he was bribing a police officer on the night of the murder while up until recently he was a consultant for the LAPD and he used to claim he was the Devil but now he's God but also not quite yet.

Next, Amenadiel (DB Woodside) encourages Lucifer to assume his place on their Father's throne, which we first see as a shining seat in an ethereal hall (not unlike Elsa's castle in Frozen if we are being totally honest).
Decker, on the other hand, is playing Devil's advocate (literally) and saying that he shouldn't rush into the God job as he "doesn’t wanna go in half-cocked".
Lucifer finds himself back on the sofa in his therapist Linda Martin's (Rachael Harris) office, claiming that since he left "the world has no God". "Clearly, I belong on this couch," he tells her.
But that might just be Lucifer finding a throne he feels comfortable on because when we see his actual throne, it's more reminiscent of what the Iron Throne is described as in the A Song of Ice and Fire books: tall, spiky and clearly uncomfortable.
But someone has clearly already made themselves at home there: a new angel named Rory (played by Deadpool's Brianna Hildebrand) whose mission statement is to to "destroy Lucifer Morningstar".Ella Lopez (Aimee Garcia) notes that "the laws of nature are breaking down and the apocalypse is nigh", to which Lucifer's answer is to take a vacation to Colombia apparently.

"None of us know exactly how it's going to end," says Linda, but the text in the trailer ensures us it will. "All bad things must come to an end," it reads.
Most interesting though in season six seems to be the relationship between Lucifer and Decker. As they open a door by Lucifer's throne room they are – very unexpectedly for both the characters and the viewers – turned into cartoon versions of themselves.
And in the very last scene of the trailer, Decker reveals how "we still have one mystery left to solve: the murder of Lucifer Morningstar". She then proceeds to take out a dagger, elbow Lucifer in the face and when she then has him pinned to the ground with a knife to his heart, he quips: "I certainly did not see this coming."
ARMY OF THE THIEVES MOVIE TEASER REVIEW
Major takeaways: we’ve got a new antagonist in the form of Rory (Deadpool’s Brianna Hildebrand), a troublemaking angel with her eyes set on Lucifer’s throne and her feet in some rather dramatic footwear; Maze (Lesley-Ann Brandt) kicking ass with a smile while romancing Eve (Inbar Levi); a shrieking Detective Dan (Kevin Alejandro) back walking the Earth after, uh, dying last season; and the unlikely sight of Chloe (Lauren German) attempting to fight her beloved Lucifer to the death? Also, there’s definitely going to be plenty of partying, drinking, cop-bribing, and choreographed dancing this season—plus, as Ella (Aimee Garcia) grimly reports, “the apocalypse is nigh.” In other words, business as usual for this series.
Lucifer’s sixth and final season hits Netflix on September 10.
