Lucifer is back. The first eight episodes of Lucifer season 5 — officially christened Part A, but unofficially known as Part 1 — will be available at 12:30pm on Netflix in India. After the climactic events of Lucifer season 4, the titular Lord of Hell (Tom Ellis) has returned to his rightful place. But things aren't going to stay that way for long, as the Lucifer season 5 trailer revealed that he will have to return to Los Angeles — SPOILER ALERT — to confront his twin brother Michael (also Tom Ellis, naturally), in the penultimate season of the Netflix series.

Here's the official synopsis for Lucifer season 5 part 1, from Netflix:

“Lucifer, bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell, resigns his throne and abandons his kingdom for the gorgeous, shimmering insanity of Los Angeles, where he gets his kicks helping the LAPD…and the savvy detective Chloe Decker in particular. In Part A of season 5, Lucifer's twin brother Michael secretly takes the devil's place on earth while he's back in Hell. Eventually, Lucifer must return and face the mess his brother made with his life. He'll also finally confront his feelings for Chloe, and answer a question fans have been asking since the very beginning: ‘will they or won't they'?”

Early reviews of Lucifer season 5 are painting a moderately promising picture. At the time of writing, on reviews aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the Netflix series holds an 83 percent rating off just six reviews, with an average critic score of 3.4 out of 5.

Lucifer season 5 part 1 is out 12:30pm IST on Netflix. You can download all eight episodes for offline viewing.
