Lucifer star Tom Ellis is hopeful that the show will be renewed, as season 4 launches on Netflix.

The series, which also stars Lauren German and Kevin Alejandro, aired on Fox for the first three seasons before it was axed.

Netflix saved Lucifer after a passionate fan campaign, but Ellis – who plays the titular Devil – hinted to Collider that there is more story to tell beyond the 10-episode fourth season.

"I feel like we haven't finished telling our story yet, without giving too many spoilers away," he said.

"With any show you could ultimately finish at the end of any season, and you're either left with a massive cliffhanger and people are left unsatisfied, or you get the opportunity to tell your story until the end.

"I think that we would all love to come back and do a season 5. We'll just have to see what Netflix says."

Ellis also talked up the fact that season 4 is 10 episodes long, as opposed to the longer runs on Fox. The third season, for example, has 26 episodes including the bonus episodes.

"What happens when you're on a network and you have to do 22 episodes is that you end up diluting and elongating and really stretching out a story," he said. "It's quite a challenge.

"My favourite episodes, at least when we were on Fox, were always the ones that were rich with story.

"The result of having 10 episodes a season is actually a benefit for the show because you get the best version of it. You get the lean, great storytelling for all of our characters all the way through the 10 episodes, and it makes it more compelling.

"Plus, now it all comes out at once, which means that people can do what they like to do and binge it."

Lucifer season 4 is available to watch on Netflix.
