'Lucifer' Co-Showrunners Talk About Season Four On Netflix

With our recent news of Netflix bringing the series Lucifer back from cancellation. TVLine was able to get some insider information about the fourth season from co-showrunners Joe Henderson and Ildy Modrovich.

For the fourth season of Lucifer, Netflix has ordered 10 episodes. Season 4 might possibly run longer, if one of the “bonus” episodes gets folded in somewhere. “The first thing we’ve got to figure out,” says Henderson, “is where the one that wasn’t a complete standalone, the Ella-focused episode, might fit.”

The episodes lengths will remain around the 43 minute range since Netflix doesn't have commercial interruptions.“We’ll probably stick roughly to our 43 minutes,” Modrovich ventures. “That’s part of what we’re going to talk to Netflix about. I think we might have a bit of room for flexibility, hopefully, so if there’s a scene we love and we don’t want to cut it, we’re hoping that now we won’t have to. But we’re not suddenly going to have hour-and-a-half episodes!”

Season 4 will continue with the original story plan for Season 4. “We were going to have two parts to it anyway, so we’ll just tell a really strong, gnarly first part,” Modrovich enthuses. Doing so, says Henderson, “lets us concentrate the story and focus it, and that’s what’s really exciting about this. We have a really strong first half that is now going to make for an amazing story.”

Nothing has been planned but there is talk as for showing up at the San Diego Comic-Con. The co-showrunners would like to plan something to show their gratitude to the fans for helping bring the show back. But right now, nothing has been set.
