Lucifer left us with one hell of a cliffhanger in its midseason finale, and waiting for Part 2 of Season 5 will definitely be a special kind of torture. Let's just hope and pray new episodes will drop on Netflix as soon as possible! Netflix announced this unconventional release schedule for Lucifer Season 5 back in 2019, confirming that the 16-episode season would be cut in half, with eight episodes airing in August of 2020 and the rest to air at a later, unannounced date.
