In a candid and revealing new interview, Tom Ellis, the charismatic Welsh actor who stole hearts as the Devil himself in the global hit Lucifer, has finally addressed the show's polarising finale. His message to fans? He stands by the ending, but the door to Hell might not be permanently closed.
The fantasy drama, which became a monumental success for Netflix after its move from Fox, concluded in 2021 after six wildly popular seasons. While the final chapter left some fans divided, Ellis confesses he has absolutely "no regrets" about how the story of the fallen angel was wrapped up.
The Weight of a Devilish Crown
Ellis spoke openly about the immense pressure the cast and crew felt to deliver a satisfying conclusion for the show's incredibly passionate fanbase, known as 'Lucifans'. "We were all very aware of what we were doing," he explained, acknowledging the weight of expectation. The team was determined to craft an ending that felt true to the characters' extensive journeys.
For Ellis, the conclusion was a fitting farewell to a character he inhabited for over half a decade. He expressed immense pride in the work they all did and the unique, genre-blending show they created together.
A Hell of a Hint: Could Lucifer Rise Again?
Just as he expertly kept fans guessing on screen, Ellis has now planted a seed of hope for a potential return. When pressed on the possibility of reviving Lucifer for a seventh season or a spin-off project, the actor's response was far from a definitive 'no'.
He cleverly hinted that in the ever-evolving landscape of streaming television, one can never say never. "You know, stories find a way to come back around," he teased, suggesting that the right script and the right idea could potentially lure him back to his devilish persona. This cryptic comment is sure to set fan forums alight with speculation.
While there are no official plans for Lucifer Morningstar to grace our screens again anytime soon, Ellis's comments prove that the devil's favourite angel hasn't entirely been forgotten by the man who brought him to life.
