Lucifer Spoilers: Contract Negotiations Are Breaking Down
However, due to the show’s growing popularity, the streaming service renewed for a possible Season 6. TVLine reported information from multiple sources that it may not happen due to renegotiations between Ellis and Warner Bros. Television.
Negotiations haven’t gone as easily as expected. Ellis rejected the studio’s latest offer. Though he signed a contract extension that would allow him to star in the lead role for another season. Warner Bros. and Ellis have gone back and forth but have not come to an agreement.
Warner Bros. Studio wants to “sweeten the pot,” but the actor is not happy. The rest of the cast has expressed their desire to return for another season. But their contracts are being held up due to Ellis’ pending deal. Lucifer became a surprise hit for Netflix. Even though it’s popular on the streaming service, the character has been on other shows.
