"Lucifer" Season 5, Episode 2 Title: "Beetlejuice" Nod or Something Naughty? [PREVIEW]

Less than two weeks after Netflix's Lucifer announced that filming on Tom Ellis' final run as the devilish lead was underway (more on that below), fans are getting another episode title reveal – the second of the season's 16 episodes. The title and "writer/director" script info on the fifth and final season-opener was revealed at the end of last month – but "Lucifer! Lucifer! Lucifer!" has fans' brains grinding for meaning.

Is the Ildy Modrovich (Forever)-written, Sherwin Shilati (Riverdale, Daybreak)-directed outing a bit Beetlejuice love being thrown around? Could it be a chant? Maybe some righteously angry?

Or is it a sign that Bleeding Cool writer/Lucifer aficionado Margo Staten is going to get more "Netflix action" this season between our devil and Chloe (Lauren German).

In the following tweet from Netflix's "See What's Next" account, we see "Team Lucifer" more than ready to bring fans the fire and brimstone… one more time:

While the following isn't exactly an episode-by-episode spoiler breakdown of the entire season (we're trying!), the show's writers have shared some shooting script info on the season opener. Sporting the curious-sounding title "Really Sad Devil Guy," the first episode is written by executive producer Jason Ning (The Expanse) and directed by Eagle Egilsson (Gotham) – and begs the question that the writers beat us to (…and since they know, it just makes it cruel…):

Here's a look at the official announcement of the final season's increased episode order; followed by the original tweet announcing the series' return to Netflix for a fifth and final season, as well as the official statement from the streamer at the time of the series' renewal:

"We're thrilled that Lucifer fans around the world have embraced this series on Netflix, and we can't wait to give them the big finish they've all been waiting for."

Showrunners and executive producers Ildy Modrovich and Joe Henderson expressed their gratitude to not only Netflix but also the dedicated fanbase for giving them the opportunity to end the show on their terms:

"We are so incredibly thankful to Netflix for resurrecting our show last season, and now letting us finish the story of Lucifer on our terms. Most importantly, we want to thank the fans for their incredible passion and support. The best is yet to come!!"

Which means the creative team will have six additional hours to not pull a Dexter (thought we were going Game of Thrones there, didn't you?) and land the series finale closer to the Breaking Bad airstrip.

So while we look, here's a look at the official trailer/overview for the fourth season of Lucifer:

Reeling from the aftermath of Chloe seeing his devil face, Lucifer faces a new challenge: Eve, the original sinner herself, is back. Does she want revenge for when he tempted her out of Eden oh so many years ago… or something else entirely?
