Sadly, Netflix haven't decided to un-cancel the show. On the other hand, according to co-showrunner Ildy Modrovich on Twitter and various of the actors including Tom Ellis himself, they have added some extra episodes to season 5. There are going to be sixteen now, instead of ten, so yay!

Again, according to Ildy, it's all down to the fans, so yay! for them too.

I am a fan, obvs, but I'm not part of the extremely active Lucifer fandom on Twitter. I just look on in awe.

I've been seeing your Lucifer posts on LJ for sometime and in June I decided to give it a spin.

OMG - this show. I am now at Season4ep 4 and am torn between wanting to binge the rest in the shortest possible time to savouring every episode slowly to make it last. Like you, not part of the active twitter fandom but I was spared the painful cancelled/renewed/cancelled angst.

So ultimately thank you for the recommendation, it's the only show since the demise of the whedonverse to which I have really become addicted.

I'm so glad you're enjoying it. It's the only show since BtVS/AtS that I've ever become addicted to also. Sometimes (like while watching the draggier procedural bits) I'm not sure why myself. But I just love it. And I do think it's the first show I've seen since BtVS that has that drama/humour balance down so well.

I admit I rushed through season 4, but I've watched it twice again since and it hasn't palled on me yet. :) I think it's the best season yet (though I did love 2). I just wish it weren't such a terrible long wait for season 5.

ETA: The period last year between cancellation by Fox and pick-up by Netflix was difficult. On the other hand, the fan campaign to save it was so awesome that it even made the news over here in UK. Tom Ellis was interviewed on Newsnight twice.

Newsnight? Oh yes I must go find it on you-tube. I've just checked how many episodes are in S4 and very sad to learn it is just 10, and I am now up episode 6. Resisting following any social media Lucifer accounts until I have caught up.

Inspiration is tough for me to find at the moment but I am pleased that I actually did a couple of Lucifer portraits for the LFCC signing this weekend past, next I will be looking at editing a vid after at least a two year gap.

Plus I caved and did the wings photo shoot with Tom Ellis too.

I'd love to see them - portraits and vid when it's done. Are the portraits on your Tumblr?

I'll have a look when (if) I ever get my internet connection back at home.

And lucky you going to the convention and meeting Tom Ellis and some of the cast. That must have been great fun.

I'll be interested to hear what you thought of season 4 once you've finished it.

From:

I'm finding S4 more intense than 1 or 2, and dare I say the quality of the action scenes has improved? The Convention was luck as I was there just to see Gina Torres, and I saw Tom announced at the last minute. Sadly Gina's talk clashed with the Lucifer one so I didn't catch it, but I had waited for over 15 years to see Gina.

I will post the portraits on tumblr and LJ over the next few days. I am looking forward to going back to your postings about the show too.

Did you by any chance do this yet and I missed it? I miss so much online these days I thought I'd better ask.

thedothatgirl

Yes I did - and a few pretty meh icons I'd made. So rusty at that.

Btw I spent most of yesterday reading all your entries tagged Lucifer... It seems we agree about Tom Welling and most things really. I am up to Ep 5 Season 1 on my rewatch, just because I can and helps me with ideas for a vid (crosses fingers)

From:

I'll look forward to seeing the vid very much when it's done. I've re-watched season 4 for the third time recently. Probably about time I embarked on another re-watch from the very beginning. I do like season 1 quite a lot.

It seems we agree about Tom Welling.

It's still utterly bizarre to me that the guy has a fanbase.
