It was revealed in October by the programme’s co-showrunner Joe Henderson that Lucifer had officially begun production on its sixth season with filming ending earlier this week in March.
Taking to Twitter to announce the news, Joe praised the Netflix hit’s cast and crew for ‘working hard and safe’ to make sure they could start filming the final season amid the coronavirus crisis.
In his post Joe also confirmed that they had finished filming on season five, as he wrote: ‘Today is our first day of shooting Lucifer season 6!

Last year, TV Line claimed that Lucifer’s final outing will feature just ten episodes, six less than season five which has been split in two.
This means that the fan favourite ends with a grand total of 93 episodes, after Netflix originally saved the show after it was cancelled by Fox after three seasons.
The first half of season five shocked fans as it introduced Lucifer’s twin brother Michael, who revealed his intentions to take over his sibling’s life.
MailOnline contacted Netflix for comment at the time.
In June, the show’s Twitter account made the announcement the sixth season would be the show’s last, calling it the ‘FINAL final’ season, and joking: ‘The devil made us do it.’
Sharing a video of a burning ‘666’ the tweet joked ‘the devil made us do it, #Lucifer will return for a sixth and final season. like FINAL final.’

Title star Tom closed a deal to return in his role for a sixth season, Deadline reported last year.
Executive producers Ildy Modrovich and Joe Henderson and the rest of the cast also extended their contracts for the last season.
The news came nearly two months before the fifth season began to stream on Netflix in August, the fifth season was originally billed as the final season.
The season has been split into two halves, with each having eight episodes each, with the first half being released last month.
Netflix saved the show after Fox cancelled the dark thriller at the end of its third run.
In September Tom revealed he’s hoping to work on something ‘completely different’ when he bids farewell to Lucifer later this year.
He told Square Mile: ‘I am going to find myself in that similar territory in that people are going to expect one thing from me now.
‘And I would like to surprise them and do something completely different. That’s always been my thought process.’
