“Lucifer” season 3 will be back with 22 new episodes this coming fall. Aside from the usual number of the show’s chapters, additional four installments will be added from the television series’ previous season.

The second season of the fantasy police procedural comedy-drama was originally renewed to only have 13 episodes, but it got a “back nine” order. However, it could only air 18 episodes that time, thus the next chapter will have a total of 26 installments.

Additional four-episode arc

In a Twitter post, the show’s executive producer Joe Henderson said that they first designed the previous season to be an “18-episode arc,” but they were surprised to receive four more chapters.

Hence, he decided to make the additional four installments to play around the show’s story that will dig deeper into its characters’ tales. “Play with format [sic] a bit, etc,” he said.

The additional episodes will be called “standalone character studies” that will be revealed at the start of “Lucifer” season 3. The four chapters have stories that can stand on their own, but the storylines are also connected to the show’s story.

It is also set to bring in new twists that will be linked in the upcoming third season. With a total of 26 episodes, the television series is expected to stay on the air for about half a year.
