Lucifer Season 6 is here, and it's bringing with it plenty of tears. After plenty of waiting and excitement among fans, the 10-episode sixth and final season of the Fox-turned-Netflix series finally arrived on Netflix on Friday, Sept. 10, and as fans came face-to-face with the end of their favorite series, many flocked to social media to share their emotions as they were forced to say goodbye for good.

Based on DC Comics character Lucifer Morningstar, Lucifer follows the character after he grows bored with reigning over hell and abandons his post for Los Angeles. The series had to fight for survival, and its Season 6 finale marked its third series finale. The show initially premiered on Fox back in 2014, though after just three seasons, the network canceled Lucifer, making Season 3 its first series finale. Amid a fan movement to save the series, Netflix revived the show, granting it a fourth and then a fifth season. Although Season 5 was initially announced to be the last, with the Season 5 finale set to be the series finale, the streamer reversed course and ordered a sixth and final season.

Season 6 brought together the main cast - Tom Ellis, Lauren German, DB Woodside, Chloe Decker - for a final time. The shortened 10-episode season dropped on Friday, just months after Season 5, Part 2 debuted. As fans tuned in to watch the final episodes, many found it difficult to say goodbye to the show they have loved for years now. Keep scrolling to see some of the emotional tweets from Lucifer fans.
