Lucifer still has 60% of its season 5 finale to shoot, says Tom Ellis

Fans of ‘Lucifer’
on Netflix have a lot of questions about their beloved series. They want to
know when the makers are planning to drop the first part of season five.

While we
swoon over Lucifer Morningstar, the man himself has revealed that the team of
fantasy television series ‘Lucifer’ is yet to film 60% of its season five
finale.

Lucifer was
renewed for a fifth and final season by Netflix and the streamer later added
six episodes, increasing the final count to 16.

Tom Ellis
will be back as the eponymous fallen angel in the show based on the DC Comics
character on August 21, when the first half of season five will drop on the
streaming platform. Production on the second half of the final chapter was
suspended in the wake of the ongoing pandemic.

 “We were agonisingly close to wrapping but
lockdown beat us. We still have 60 per cent of our season five finale to
shoot,” Ellis told the Indonesian magazine DA MAN.

41-year-old
actor was unsure when shooting would resume, but said the cameras would start
rolling with all the safety precautions and protocol in place.

“With the
restrictions, everyone has to take their turn to do their job, so it’s going to
have a big knock-on effect to how much we can physically shoot in a day. It’s
going to be challenging to say the least. We’ve had to find a way to stay safe
whilst remaining productive. Film sets are usually a hive of activity with
people constantly making adjustments and last-minute tweaks in small, confined
spaces,” Ellis added.

Last season
of the show ended with Lucifer back on the throne of Hell. The series also
stars Lauren German, Lesley-Ann Brandt, Kevin Alejandro, Scarlett Estevez, DB
Woodside, and Rachael Harris.
