The 10th episode of the upcoming season will also be getting a musical episode called “Bloody Celestial Karaoke Jam.” 

Lucifer's fourth installment concluded with the King of Hell reluctantly returning to his rightful position after some demons escaped and convinced him to come back. During all this, Lucifer Morningstar realizes that he's not a bad person and also admits his romantic feelings for Chloe Decker.

Here's what the official Netflix teaser for season 5 states: "In the stunning fifth season, the stakes are higher than ever. Secrets will be revealed, beloved characters will die, and we’ll finally get an answer to the question, ‘Will they or won’t they?'"

The leading cast — Tom Ellis, Lauren German, D.B. Woodside, Aimee Garcia, Lesley-Ann Brandt, Kevin Alejandro, and Rachael Harris — will be returning in Season 5.
