Lucifer fans will be eternally grateful to Netflix for resurrecting devilishly good show after Fox cancelled at the end of season three.
Netflix originally picked up the series for a fourth and fifth season of ten episodes each. However, the success of season 4 was so phenomenal that season 5 was given 16 episodes. AND season 6 was ordered. Lucifans rejoiced!
As such the second half of Season 5 has just dropped and topped the Netflix charts around the world. Season 6 has already finished production but don't expect to see it any time soon. Like past seasons, we could be waiting until May 2022 until our favourite devil returns to our screens. Unless of course, Netflix split it into two parts and air the first half sooner…
In the meantime, you will definitely want to fill the gap left by Lucifer Morningstar so check out the following shows that are sure to keep you bingeing.
1.
Good Omens
An angel and a demon must join forces to find a way to save the world as the end of time grows near, approaching Armageddon. This is a perfect adaptation of the Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman novel with exceptional performances from Michael Sheen and David Tennant.
2.
The Order
If the world of dark arts, intrigue and mystical beasts is your thing then The Order will be right up your street. Fuelled by revenge, Jack Morton goes on a mission to kill Edward Coventry but as he gets deeper, he uncovers an underground battle between werewolves and the magic.
3.
Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency
Based on the Dirk Gently novels, written by Douglas Adams, this is a fun, quirky show that captures the essence of the books perfectly. With plenty of sci-fi, fantasy and a healthy dose of crime solving thrown in for good measure, it is a bit complex but all comes together nicely in the end.
4.
R.I.P.D
R.I.P.D is a none stop action, fantasy, comedy. Backed up by a fantastic lead cast, that each brings their own unique style to this romper of a film. Think Men in Black with dead people instead of aliens and more alternative comedy style and you have Rest In Peace Department.
5.
Grimm
Fast paced fantasy drama that will have you hooked, Grimm is the epic tale of one man's fight to guard humanity from rogue mythical creatures who threaten to destroy the world. The grown up, grittier and darker version of Buffy or The Librarians.
6.
The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina
Bye bye wholesome family fun. Hello horror. Forget everything you know about Sabrina the teenage witch, sit back and enjoy the full macabre that this re-boot has to offer. Dark, malevolant and frequently creepy, the Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina will have you glued to your tv screen.
Hopefully one of these shows will keep you entertained until the next season of ‘Lucifer‘ drops – If you're looking for fantasy movies and series – be sure to check out our guide to the latest Netflix & Amazon Fantasy series here.
