ILDY | They were going to ride off into the sunset on a motorcycle that was their final beat in Season 5. TVLINE | Would Maze and Eve (Lesley-Ann Brandt and Inbar Lavi) have ended up in Hell as they first planned, holding really sad dinner parties? ( Read Aimee Garcia’s take on Ella’s “perfect” moment.) They were like, “Ella, we can explain…,” and she is like, “No, actually I kind of get it.” We like the idea of a beginning as an ending, but it was so much more rewarding to explore to explore the heartbreak of being left out, and that sense of “Why wouldn’t anyone tell me?” Thank God we got to tell that story, and all these other stories.
LUCIFER SEASON 6 HOW TO
In the 5B coda, we had set up that she was going to be watching Charlie, and when Amenadiel and Linda (DB Woodside and Rachael Harris) walk in, Ella’s like, “Hey guys, I don’t know how to tell you this….” - and she lifts Charlie up and his wings are out. JOE HENDERSON | In the 5B coda, she found out in a completely different, fun way. TVLINE | So in the original 5B coda, Ella never found out? Instead, we got to go through how that impacted her, which was, “Wait, my friends didn’t tell me?! How come they left me out?”

You had Ella (Aimee Garcia) finding out the truth, finally, but it wasn’t about “ What?! There are celestials?,” because she’s our character of faith. You can go through each character and see the same kind of ups and downs of it. We got to see him wrestle with that self-imposed guilt and try to figure out what was causing it, and that was a really satisfying and cathartic way to say goodbye to Dan. ILDY MODROVICH | It’s one of those things where in hindsight, once we had done Season 6, we realized, “Oh my gosh, if we had ended at Season 5 we would have missed the intimate kind of farewell that we got to tell in this final season.” Things like Dan’s (Kevin Alejandro) journey - in that final act of Season 5, he was going to go from Hell to Heaven, and instead we got to live in Purgatory with him for 10 episodes. TVLINE | First, please speak as candidly as you can about how what was originally supposed to be just a Season 5 coda informed, and blossomed into, a 10-episode Season 6. Plus, why the bittersweet Deckerstar twist in fact underscored the couple’s incredible love. TVLine spoke with showrunners Joe Henderson and Ildy Modrovich about how they turned what was supposed to be a one-act coda at the end of last season - back when Season 5 was going to be the “final” season - into a whole other 10 episodes, after Netflix surprised them with a Season 6 order. And upon Chloe’s death at an old age (where she was briefly played by Guiding Light‘s Jean Carol), she reunited in Heaven with Amenadiel, who then flew her down to be Lucifer’s “partner,” once again and forever. Surmising that only death could take Lucifer away from their child, he and Chloe (Lauren German) set out to proactively solve one last case, “the murder of Lucifer Morningstar.” But in the end, they realized that Lucifer needed to voluntarily exit Chloe’s life - if only for 60 or so years - so that he could realize his true destiny, not as God but as a ruler of Hell who doubles as therapist, helping the damned comes to terms with the guilt that landed them in the land down under. Rory thus brought with her a prophecy of sorts - that Lucifer (Tom Ellis) would disappear from Earth on a specific, imminent date. Played by Deadpool‘s Brianna Hildebrand, Rory came bearing a big ol’ chip on her angel wings, given that her father had been MIA for her entire life.

Season 6 of the twice-resurrected Lucifer largely hinged on the arrival of the titular devil’s grown daughter, with Chloe, from the future.

The following contains all the spoilers from the sixth and final season of Netflix’s Lucifer.
