** Warning Lucifer season 5 part 2 spoilers ahead**

After an incredible eight episodes, the finale finally brought things to a head as Lucifer and Michael battled it out for the mantle of God. It was an intense battle that saw the brothers facing off in an epic fight filled with shocking moments.

Following the battle Lucifer emerged victorious, seemingly becoming God which left even Lucifer himself in a state of shock as the season came to a close.

As the credits began to roll, a special tribute first appeared on the screen as the show looked to celebrate the legacy of Merritt Yohnka who played a key role on the show behind the scenes.

Who is Merritt Yohnka?

The name Merritt Yohnka might not ring a bell right away, but eagle-eyed fans who stick around to watch the credits from the series are likely to recognize Yohnka for his work as a stunt coordinator.

Yohnka worked on Lucifer across the show’s third and fourth seasons, lending his expertise across more than two dozen episodes between 2017 and 2019.

In September 2020, Yohnka sadly passed away following a valiant battle with cancer. Shortly after his passing, many members of the Lucifer cast took to social media to honor the late stunt coordinator including lead Tom Ellis, who honored his friend with a touching Instagram tribute.
