Tom Ellis is following in the footsteps of series creators Joe Henderson and Ildy Modrovich. All three are reportedly returning for "Lucifer" Season 6.

According to an exclusive report from TV Line, Ellis signed a new contract with Netflix for another run as the devilish character after Season 5. He is the only cast member who signed a new deal, as most of his co-stars' current contracts already cover an extra season.

Last week, co-showrunners Henderson and Modrovich also inked a new deal for another season with Netflix. Now, all that remains is for the streaming giant to announce the renewal. It has yet to officially confirm the return of the show for "Lucifer" Season 6, following reports of talks between Netflix and Warner Bros. TV earlier this month about another series run.

The initial plan was to end at Season 5, which had fans petitioning for a renewal. Even Lauren German, who plays Detective Chloe Decker, urged Lucifans to ask Netflix for a Season 6. D.B. Woodside, who portrays the angel Amenadiel, also expressed his belief that Season 6 would be the final run of the series.

Likewise, both Modrovich and Henderson expressed their sadness to bid the show goodbye. However, they assured fans that they will go out with a bang. So much so, that Netflix gave Season 5 16 episodes that will arrive in two separate eight-episode runs.

I took this selfie on March 17th 2015 just before leaving my trailer to shoot the first scene on the pilot episode of #Lucifer I was really nervous and at that moment I couldn’t have dreamed that we would get to where we are now...I have had the most Amazing ride making life long friends and playing a character that I truly Love. It has been an utter privilege. More importantly I want to say YOU the fans have been the cherry on the cake of this whole journey. You will forever be precious to me and I cannot thank you enough for your passion, support and kindness for the past 4 and half years.
