Netflix Finally Announces Release Date For 'Lucifer' Season 5

Netflix has finally announced the release date for Lucifer Season 5 - and they've done so in the *best* way.

Releasing a clip of Lucifer's sexiest moments, The streaming platform has revealed the next instalment will drop on 21st August.

Yep, you're welcome! Here it is below...

Netflix has been very clever about the length of the video too, explaining: "And now, for your viewing enjoyment, we present 66.6 seconds of Lucifer's hottest, sexiest, most downright devilish moments.

"Be sure to watch all the way through."

And at the end of the video, fans are given another treat - the release date of Season 5 - which will air on Friday 21st August - just in time to binge watch over the weekend.

And fans have been ecstatic about the news, with many taking to social media to celebrate finally knowing when the devilish drama will return.

In case you need a recap, the series focuses on lead character Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis) - a fallen angel, cast out of Heaven for betrayal. His character is based on the DC Comics character created by Neil Gaiman for The Sandman comic-book series.

Tired of residing in Hell, Lucifer relocates to Los Angeles and begins running a club. He becomes involved with the local police, working as a consultant with the LAPD and helping them solve tricky criminal cases.

It works well, considering Lucifer's supernatural powers mean mortals tell him their deepest secrets and desires.

The emotional end of the fourth season left fans on the edge of their seats, with many desperate to know the outcome of Lucifer's romance with Detective Chloe Decker.

Showrunner Ildy Modrovich recently teased some clues on Twitter after fans begged for information relating to the couple's future. In a rather cryptic tweet, Ildy shared three tantalising emojis alongside the fans' questions: a key, a fist and a kiss.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?! Some fans think it indicates that Chloe is going to be involved in some kind of fight and provide the key to get Lucifer out of hell.

But now, it seems all of our questions are about to be answered in a matter of *weeks*. Not that we're counting down the days or anything...
