After a long wait, the makers behind Netflix’s Lucifer have finally released the trailer of the fifth season. The trailer gave a major spoiler by giving fans a look at Lucifer’s twin brother. In a recent interview with TVLine, Lucifer’s showrunner Joe Henderson shared why the makers decided to give this spoiler.

Talking about Lucifer season 5, Joe Henderson mentioned that in addition to the latest Biblical adventures, fans still have plenty of murder cases, family drama and even some ‘Deckerstar’ developments to look forward to. Joe Henderson also talked about the new characters of Lucifer and said that the introduction of Dennis Haysbert as Lucifer’s father God and an extra special noir-inspired episode could make season five the biggest and best yet. The showrunner also revealed that the reason behind the early spoiler was based on Netflix’s model of releasing all eight episodes at once.

He added that the makers wanted to give fans a shared experience of reacting to the big spoiler given in the trailer. Joe mentioned that it felt like a cool thing for all the fans to experience together.
Furthermore, Joe said that the maker’s strategy worked as Lucifer’s Twitter account has been flooded with new as well as old fans interacting online to hype the fifth season. He added that once fans see the new episodes of Lucifer season 5, they’ll understand that while it seems like the makers have spoiled a lot, they have however not spoiled much at all.
