Where is the filming of Lucifer season 5 part 2?
Production status: Post-production (VFX & dubbing) (last update: 02/28/2021)
Most of the second part has already been filmed. In fact, until the break due to the global pandemic, it is believed that every episode up to Episode 16 was filmed. This was later contradicted by Tom Ellis who said: “We were about halfway there. So we go back, we start with that, then we go directly to season 6. ”
At the end of June 2020, we learned that the production of Lucifer Season 5, Part 2 had been postponed to start at some point in October 2020. This date was apparently brought forward when TVLine confirmed in early September 2020 that the series was considering currently returning to production on September 24, 2020.
Cast members began returning to set on September 22, 2020 (two days earlier than expected) with new detailed on-set procedures to maintain a safe environment.
It is also believed that there should be reruns given the spectacular renewal of season six and the plot changes needed to keep the series going.
As we got back from the shoot, we got to see a few shots of what to expect, two huge cranes set up in a football stadium being one of the biggest teases. Could this be the confrontation between Luci and Michael?
By October 2020, production had moved to season six of Lucifer which is filmed back to back.
This means the series is in extensive post-production, which was confirmed on October 25 during the Baltimore Comic-Con live event. Joe Henderson, when asked about post-production, said “it’s going well”. He also said that all episodes up to Season 5, Episode 16 ended in post-production with just the finale to go. He also states that 516 is going to take longer just because of the size of the episode saying it’s “very expensive.”
He also states that a big part of the wait now is for Netflix to do the cleanup on their side with localization, as well as the preparation of marketing and other materials.
There was a lot more revelation in the whole conversation between Joe Henderson at the comic-con which lasted two hours in total. Full video below.
On January 2, 2021, Ildy Modrovich provided a small update on where Season 5, Part 2 was saying they were still working on visual effects and voice acting.

What to Expect from Lucifer Season 5 Part 2
Let’s quickly catch up on the final events of episode eight,
The episode ends with an epic double confrontation with Lucifer fighting Maze and Amenadiel fighting the new villain of the series, Michael (Lucifer’s twin brother). This fight ultimately ends with lights beaming through the office building and God standing at the top of the stairs.
God exclaims “enough is enough” before calmly saying, “Kids, I know I hate it when you fight,” then cut in the credits.
God is expected to stay with Lucifer for a while as well. On November 23, Lucifer’s Twitter account teased a cryptic hint on what to expect from Season 5 that read:
when could 5B’s release date be? we can’t reveal this but what we can reveal: get ready for the extended stay from *** to *****
Most fans thought it was “God’s extended stay on Earth.”
We have yet to see what the endgame or Michael’s ultimate plan says to Lucifer “Oh, you’ll just have to wait and see.” Some have speculated that if the series sticks to its comic book origins, it could eventually lead to the creation of what we now know to be the DC Universe.
We know other things about Season 5, Part 2, including the fact that we could see Maze’s demon face (played by Lesley-Ann Brandt) with her saying at a point of sale, ‘I’ have a good scene in the second half of the season with Dennis and it’s amazing… well you can see my demon face in that scene, I think I can drop that in there! “.
It has also been teased that Season 5, Part 2 will be the most emotional yet.
What is known about the Lucifer season 5b musical episode
On September 12, 2020, Lucifer was one of the shows that featured in Part 2 of the DC Fandom event.
Here’s what was featured on what to expect from the Lucifer panel:
“Lucifer is back from hell, and the show brings an all-new blooper reel from Season 4 with an exclusive ‘Another One Bites the Dust’ music video from the upcoming musical episode. Director Sherwin Shilati and Lucifer, executive producers/showrunners, Joe Henderson and Ildy Modrovich discuss what it took to put together such a massive musical episode – and how they were able to keep it a secret for so long.
In the panel, the creators talked about the final season and dropped the first look at the new season with a new clip from the new musical episode.
