How to Watch Lucifer on Firestick (Every Option in 2026)
Complete guide to watching Lucifer on Firestick. All 6 seasons compared across Netflix, Plex (free), and digital purchase options. Includes setup steps, 4K HDR quality info, and how to watch outside the US.
I just finished rewatching all six seasons of Lucifer on my Firestick 4K Max — 93 episodes of the Devil solving crimes in LA, and I regret nothing. The show had quite the journey — cancelled by Fox, resurrected by Netflix (fitting, right?) — and finding where to watch Lucifer on Firestick is actually simpler than you’d think. You’ve got a couple of solid options, including one that’s completely free.
Netflix is the best way to watch all 6 seasons of Lucifer on Firestick, starting at $7.99/mo with ads. Seasons 4–6 support 4K HDR on the Premium plan ($24.99/mo). For a free option, Plex has all 6 seasons with ads — no subscription required. The show isn’t leaving Netflix until 2031.
What I Tested For
- Streaming quality — HD, 4K, and HDR across Netflix plans and Plex
- Audio quality — Stereo vs. 5.1 surround sound on both platforms
- App stability — Performance during multi-episode binge sessions on Firestick 4K Max
- Subtitle and closed caption options — Accuracy and language availability
- Cost per season — Total spend to finish all 93 episodes
Where to Watch Lucifer
Lucifer has a split streaming history. Fox produced Seasons 1–3, Netflix picked it up for Seasons 4–6, and now the whole thing lives on Netflix. But there’s also a free option on Plex that most people don’t know about.
| Service | Price | Seasons | Quality | Ads? | Free Trial |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free Plex (Free) | Free | All 6 | HD (1080p) | Yes | N/A |
| Netflix (Standard w/ Ads) | $7.99/mo | All 6 | 1080p | Yes | None |
| Netflix (Standard) | $17.99/mo | All 6 | 1080p | No | None |
| 🏆 Netflix (Premium) | $24.99/mo | All 6 | 4K HDR (S4–6) | No | None |
| Amazon Video (Purchase) | ~$9.99–$14.99/season | All 6 | HD | No | Own forever |
| Apple TV (Purchase) | ~$9.99–$14.99/season | All 6 | HD | No | Own forever |
| Vudu (Purchase) | ~$9.99–$14.99/season | All 6 | HD | No | Own forever |
Best Way to Watch Lucifer on Firestick
Netflix
- All 6 seasons — 93 episodes in one place
- 4K HDR available for Seasons 4–6 on Premium plan
- Native Firestick app — no sideloading needed
- Download episodes for offline viewing (Standard plan and above)
✓ Pros
- All 93 episodes available in one place — series is complete
- 4K HDR for Seasons 4–6 — the Netflix-produced seasons look noticeably better
- Native Fire TV app — smooth, stable, and optimized for Firestick
- Offline downloads available on Standard and Premium plans
- Show confirmed on platform until 2031
✕ Cons
- No free trial — Netflix dropped free trials years ago
- 4K HDR only available on Seasons 4–6 (Fox-era seasons are standard HD)
- Premium plan ($24.99/mo) required for 4K
- Ad-supported plan inserts breaks into episodes
My testing notes: I streamed all 93 episodes over about three weeks on my Firestick 4K Max using the Premium plan. The quality difference between the Fox seasons (1–3) and the Netflix seasons (4–6) is noticeable. Seasons 1–3 max out at 1080p with no HDR — they look fine, but nothing special. Once you hit Season 4, the jump to 4K HDR is significant. Lucifer’s white suit at Lux looks stunning in HDR, and the nightclub scenes have way more detail in the shadows. The Netflix app was stable throughout my entire rewatch with zero crashes. Audio is 5.1 surround sound, which works well for the show’s soundtrack-heavy scenes. Subtitles are accurate — worth turning on for the occasional Latin and Sumerian dialogue.
How to Watch Lucifer on Firestick (Step-by-Step)
Set Up Netflix on Your Firestick
5 stepsOpen the Amazon App Store
From your Firestick home screen, navigate to Find → Search and type “Netflix”.
Download and Install Netflix
Select Netflix from the search results and click Get (or Download). The app is free to install — you’ll need a subscription to watch content.
Open the App and Sign In
Launch Netflix and sign in with your account. If you don’t have one yet, sign up at netflix.com on your phone or computer — it’s much easier than using the TV interface.
Search for Lucifer
Use the search icon inside the Netflix app and type “Lucifer”. Select the show to see all 6 seasons.
Start Watching
Pick Season 1, Episode 1 — “Pilot” — and hit play. For 4K HDR on Seasons 4–6, make sure you’re on the Premium plan and your internet speed is at least 25 Mbps.
Free and Cheaper Ways to Watch
Unlike most premium shows, Lucifer actually has a legitimate free option — plus several ways to keep costs low.
1. Plex — Free with Ads
This is the option most people miss. Plex offers all 6 seasons of Lucifer for free with ad-supported streaming. No account required for basic viewing, though creating a free Plex account unlocks watchlist features. Quality tops out at 1080p, but for a free option, it’s hard to complain.
Plex
- All 6 seasons available — completely free
- No subscription or sign-up required
- Native Firestick app in the Amazon App Store
- Ad breaks are shorter than cable TV commercials
My testing notes: I tested a few episodes on Plex to compare. Picture quality is HD (1080p) — no 4K or HDR, even on the Netflix-era seasons. Ad breaks come every 15–20 minutes and last about 60–90 seconds each. Not terrible, but definitely noticeable during tense scenes. The Plex app on Firestick ran smoothly with no buffering on my connection. Availability may vary by region, so if you don’t see Lucifer on Plex, a VPN connected to a US server should fix that.
2. Netflix Standard with Ads ($7.99/mo)
The cheapest Netflix path to all 93 episodes. You’ll get ads — typically 60-second breaks — but the full show is available in HD (1080p). At about 45 minutes per episode, you could power through the whole series in roughly a month. That’s $7.99 for 93 episodes.
3. Buy Individual Seasons Digitally
If you only want to rewatch your favorite season — like Season 4’s spectacular first run on Netflix — Amazon Video, Apple TV, and Vudu sell individual seasons for around $9.99–$14.99 each. You own them permanently and don’t need any subscription.
About Lucifer
Lucifer premiered on Fox on January 25, 2016 and ran for 6 seasons through September 10, 2021. Based on the DC Comics character from Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman, it follows Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis) — the actual Devil — who abandons Hell, opens a nightclub in Los Angeles, and starts consulting for the LAPD alongside detective Chloe Decker (Lauren German). It’s part crime procedural, part supernatural drama, and part romantic comedy — and somehow it works.
The show was famously cancelled by Fox after Season 3 in May 2018, then saved by Netflix just one month later after a massive fan campaign. Netflix produced Seasons 4–6, giving the show a proper conclusion.
Season-by-Season Guide
| Season | Episodes | What to Expect |
|---|---|---|
| Season 1 | 13 | Lucifer arrives in LA, opens Lux, and starts working with the LAPD. The celestial mystery around Chloe begins |
| Season 2 | 18 | Lucifer’s mother escapes Hell. The family drama between angels gets intense. Chloe gets closer to the truth |
| Season 3 | 26 | The longest season — introduces Cain. The Fox-era finale features the big reveal |
| Season 4 | 10 | Netflix era begins. Darker, tighter, and better. Eve arrives. That Season 4 ending is devastating |
| Season 5 | 16 | God shows up (Dennis Haysbert). A musical episode. Michael causes chaos. Two-part season |
| Season 6 | 10 | The final season. Lucifer faces his ultimate purpose. Emotional, divisive finale |
Total: 6 seasons, 93 episodes. The series is complete — no cliffhangers or cancellation issues.
Streaming Quality on Firestick
| Detail | What You Get |
|---|---|
| Video — Seasons 1–3 | HD (1080p) — no 4K or HDR available (Fox-produced) |
| Video — Seasons 4–6 | Up to 4K Ultra HD with HDR on Netflix Premium |
| HDR | HDR10 on Seasons 4–6 (Dolby Vision on Apple TV 4K via Netflix) |
| Audio | 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound |
| Subtitles | Full English captions plus multiple languages |
| Download/Offline | Available on Netflix Standard and Premium plans |
My testing notes: The visual quality split between the Fox seasons and Netflix seasons is the biggest thing to know. Seasons 1–3 were shot for broadcast TV — 1080p, no HDR, slightly more washed-out colors. They’re perfectly watchable, but don’t expect them to pop. Starting with Season 4, the Netflix-produced episodes are a step up — darker, more cinematic, and with 4K HDR support that makes the nightclub scenes and celestial visuals really shine. On my Firestick 4K Max, the HDR kicked in automatically on Season 4 and the difference was immediately obvious. Audio is 5.1 surround across all seasons — the show’s soundtrack (heavy on covers and piano performances) sounds great through a soundbar.
Watch Lucifer From Anywhere
Lucifer is available on Netflix in 37+ countries — but not everywhere. If you’re in Germany, Austria, or certain other regions, Lucifer isn’t on Netflix at all (it’s on Amazon Prime Video instead). And if you’re traveling abroad, your home Netflix library might not include the show. A VPN fixes both problems.
A VPN is also useful for accessing Lucifer on Plex if the free version isn’t available in your region, and it prevents your ISP from throttling Netflix traffic during peak hours.
