Is Lucifer on Netflix?

Yes. On 27 September 2026 all six seasons, 93 episodes, are on Netflix in every one of the fourteen countries checked: the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Canada, Australia, Japan, India, Brazil, Mexico and South Africa. No checked market is missing the series, and none carries only part of it.

Most pages on this question say the opposite. They imply the show has disappeared somewhere and that you need a VPN to reach it. On the evidence, there is no gap to bridge.

The second thing almost nobody says out loud: Netflix does not own Lucifer. Warner Bros. Television does, and that owner is being sold.

  • All six seasons, 93 episodes, on Netflix in all fourteen markets checked on 27 September 2026.

  • Netflix runs in more than 190 markets. Fourteen were checked. The rest are unknown here.

  • No removal date is shown in any of the fourteen markets checked. The other markets were not checked.

  • Seasons 1 to 3 were Fox shows. Netflix ordered seasons 4 to 6 but licensed them, never owned them.

  • Shops sell the series in pieces. Netflix has the complete run in every market checked.

Why most articles get this wrong

Two mistakes, and nearly every page on this question makes one of them.

The first is the VPN mistake: assume the show has vanished, then sell a VPN as the fix. There is no gap to fix. A page that does this loses the first reader who checks for herself. The honest VPN angle is narrow. Subtitle and dub tracks differ by country, and a subscriber who travels sees the local catalogue, not the one at home.

The second is the ownership mistake. Because Netflix rescued the show and commissioned three seasons of it, Lucifer gets called a Netflix series and people assume it can never leave. The reverse is true. Warner Bros. Television owns it. Netflix rents it.

A third trap catches Malayalam-speaking readers: the 2019 film called Lucifer, with Mohanlal, is a different title and is not on Netflix.

What the fourteen checked markets show

All six seasons on Netflix in each of them. Fourteen is not 190, so check your own account: search the title and count the seasons on the page. That takes ten seconds and beats any article, this one included.

What differs is the shop counter next to Netflix. No shop position was established for the Netherlands, Spain, Italy or Canada, so those four are absent from the list below:

  • Complete to buy: United States, United Kingdom (Sky Store included), Germany, Australia, Japan. One German shop lists only four seasons.

  • Incomplete to buy: France, where shops list four or five seasons.

  • No purchase route found: India, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa. Netflix is the only route there.

Fragments at local services are easily mistaken for the full run. Movistar Plus+ in Spain holds season 1. Two French services hold one season. FOD and Amazon in Japan rent three. Those are the Fox years, not the whole show. Aggregators also list an Apple TV app promotion in almost every country that looks like a subscription but is not a licence, plus trial offers at Prime Video and BINGE. None of those were counted.

Netflix commissioned it, Netflix does not own it

Seasons 1 to 3 aired on Fox between 2016 and 2018. Fox cancelled the show in May 2018. Netflix ordered season 4 in June 2018, then 5 and 6. The finale arrived on 10 September 2021.

Those Netflix seasons are licensed, not owned. Netflix was the commissioner, not the proprietor, which is the reason the series can leave at all.

What's on Netflix reported on 18 January 2023 that the licence runs for the life of the series plus ten years, landing around 10 September 2031. No studio statement, filing or trade report backs that up, so treat 2031 as one outlet's claim. It changes nothing today. No removal date for the series is shown in any of the markets checked.

The owner is being sold, and the sale is not closed

Warner Bros. Television owns Lucifer, with DC character rights inside the same group. The character comes from Neil Gaiman's The Sandman and Mike Carey's comic run.

That owner runs a rival service. HBO Max launched in May 2020 under WarnerMedia and passed to Warner Bros. Discovery when that company was formed in April 2022, and Lucifer stayed at Netflix throughout. The studio has gone on licensing library series to Netflix rather than pulling them back for its own platform.

Announced and done: WBD reviewed first bids from Paramount, Comcast and Netflix on 20 November 2025, backed a Netflix deal on 5 December 2025, saw Netflix turn its offer all cash on 13 January 2026, then watched it walk away on 26 February 2026. Paramount Skydance won at roughly 110 billion dollars.

Announced but not in force: a US judge halted the takeover on competition grounds in July 2026. Paramount settled with the state of California and the Writers Guild of America on 21 September 2026, and David Ellison said he expected to close within about two weeks. California was one of twelve states that filed the July lawsuit. On 24 September the court allowed the campaign group Block the Merger to file briefs opposing the settlement, and the consent decree still awaits approval. The deal is agreed but not in force, and no closing date is confirmed. So on 27 September 2026 the show still belongs to Warner Bros. Discovery.

Six seasons, 93 episodes, and whether to buy

The split is 13, 18, 26, 10, 16 and 10. It adds to 93, a useful check that nothing is missing from a listing. Season 6 ended the story on 10 September 2021. There is no season 7 and no sequel ordered.

No prices appear here on purpose. They differ by market and shop and go stale quickly. The shape still holds: buying all 93 episodes normally costs several times one month of a subscription, while a single season can land at or below it. Since Netflix carries the complete run in every checked market, buying only makes sense if you want to own it permanently. Check the price of the season you actually want, and count how many seasons your shop really sells.

What this page cannot tell you

  • Fourteen markets were checked. Netflix operates in more than 190. Turkey, Sweden, Poland, South Korea and most of Africa, the Middle East, eastern Europe and south east Asia are not established here. This is not a worldwide claim.

  • The 2031 expiry rests on one specialist outlet writing in January 2023.

  • That same 2023 source suggested Germany was an exception. Germany has all six today. Whether it ever lacked part of the run is unestablished, and a German date would not cover Austria or Switzerland regardless. Three markets, three licences.

  • The country data is one aggregator snapshot taken on 27 September 2026. Aggregators lag. The weakest part is the per season shop catalogue.

  • Whether Paramount Skydance completes the purchase, and what a new owner would do with Warner Bros. Television's Netflix licences, is unknown.

What a VPN does and does not do here

A VPN changes the network location your connection appears to come from. It does not change your billing region, it does not add a title to your plan, and using one can conflict with a streaming service's terms. For this show there is nothing to unlock: every checked market already has all six seasons. The narrow real uses are subtitle and dub tracks, which differ by country, and travel, since a subscriber abroad sees the local catalogue. If that fits you, start with NordVPN or Surfshark.

The short answer

Yes. All six seasons and all 93 episodes sit on Netflix in the fourteen markets checked on 27 September 2026, with no removal date announced. It is not a Netflix-owned show: Warner Bros. Television licenses it, and that studio is being sold to Paramount Skydance in a deal that had not closed on 25 September 2026. Nothing here needs a VPN. Open your own account and count the seasons.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Lucifer leaving Netflix in 2031?

One specialist outlet reported in January 2023 that the licence runs to roughly 10 September 2031. No studio statement or filing confirms it, and no removal date is scheduled in any country today.

Do I need a VPN to watch Lucifer?

Not in any of the fourteen markets checked. All six seasons are on Netflix in each of them, and a VPN changes only apparent network location, not your plan or billing region.

Is this the same as the Lucifer film with Mohanlal?

No. That is a 2019 Malayalam film and it is not on Netflix. Its sequel, L2: Empuraan, went to JioHotstar on 24 April 2025.
