Following a big week that saw Netflix set a season five premiere date and officially renew the series for a sixth and final year, TV Line is now reporting that Supernatural veteran Rob Benedict is set to guest star in an upcoming episode of Lucifer.

However, while he may play the all-powerful God, a.k.a. Chuck Shurley, on the long-running CW series that stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, he'll be playing someone considerably more human when he crosses paths with the Devil this fall. His character is named Vincent Le Mec, and is described as a hardened French Mercenary whose violent work brings him to Los Angeles - and into the crosshairs of Lucifer (Tom Ellis), Chloe Decker (Lauren German) and the LAPD.

Benedict will appear in episode fifteen, which will be Season 5's penultimate hour. He completed shooting just days before production on the series was ordered to shut down due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

The fan-favorite series is fronted by Tom Ellis as Lucifer Morningstar, with a supporting cast consisting of Lauren German (Det. Chloe Decker), Kevin Alejandro (Det. Dan Espinoza), D.B. Woodside (Amenadiel), Lesley-Ann Brandt (Mazikeen), Scarlett Estevez (Trixie Espinoza), Rachael Harris (Dr. Linda Martin), and Aimee Garcia (Ella Lopez).

Dennis Haysbert (24; Brooklyn Nine-Nine) will also recur this season, playing the show's version of God.

The first eight episodes of Lucifer season five will premiere on Friday, August 21; with the second half debuting sometime later in 2020.

Is Richard Speight Jr directing the episode?

RohanPatel - 6/27/2020, 5:07 AM

@JonAwesome - He's directing episodes 6 and 13, Ildy Modrovich is directing the one with Benedict. She's in the first picture.

I think Lucifer is one of the worst shows going around, and its telling it’s eaten up by the same crowd of teenage girls who love that CW shit. But Rob Benedict is great, the episode of Supernatural where he sings ‘Fare Thee Well’ is one of about three good episodes in the show’s last... [frick], ten seasons? Damn you Supernatural, you made the first 5 years so good I stuck around for TEN bad ones.

@connorblaze - You saying that all people on this site that like CW's DC shows are all just teenage girls? In that case, we sure have huge population of teenage girls.

@connorblaze - You're so cool bro 🙄

A Lucifer/Supernatural crossover would be hilarious

I bet there must've been many BTS jokes about his Supernatural character. :P

The way to portrayed God on Supernatural is the single worst decision they ever made about this show. The twist was interesting, but this is not the direction the show needed to take. They had a much better set up which would have proved far better in the long term. This was a hokey, atheist agenda driven BS take on a supreme being.

Otherwise I like this show very much.

Castiel is my boy. Dean is my spirit animal. Sam holds it all together. JDM is my hero.
