Lucifer is an American urban fantasy television series developed by Tom Kapinos that premiered on Fox on January 25, 2016.[3][4] It is based on the DC Comics character created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth, and Mike Dringenberg taken from the comic book series The Sandman, who later became the protagonist of a spin-off comic book series, both published by DC Comics' Vertigo imprint. The series is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer Television, DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Television.
The series revolves around Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis), the Devil, who abandons Hell for Los Angeles where he runs his own nightclub and becomes a consultant to the LAPD. The ensemble and supporting cast include Lauren German as Detective Chloe Decker, Kevin Alejandro as Detective Daniel "Dan" Espinoza, D. B. Woodside as Amenadiel, Lesley-Ann Brandt as Mazikeen, and Rachael Harris as Dr. Linda Martin. Filming took place primarily in Vancouver, British Columbia before production was relocated entirely to Los Angeles, California beginning with the third season.
The first season received mixed reviews from critics, though
subsequent seasons were better rated; many critics particularly praised
Ellis' performance. Despite initially high viewership for its debut,
ratings remained consistently low throughout the series' run on Fox. The
fourth season also received high ratings and critical acclaim. Fox
initially cancelled Lucifer after three seasons; a month later, Netflix
picked up the series. Netflix has renewed the series for a fifth season
of 16 episodes, the first half being released August 21, 2020. Although
the fifth season was initially reported to be the last, in June 2020
the series was renewed for a sixth and final season.
The series focuses on Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis), a beautiful and powerful angel who was cast out of Heaven for betrayal. As the Devil, he gets bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell for millennia. He resigns his throne in defiance to his father (God) and abandons his kingdom for Los Angeles, where he ends up running his own nightclub called "Lux". He becomes involved in a murder case with Detective Chloe Decker (Lauren German), and is subsequently invited to be a consultant to the LAPD.
Throughout the series, several celestial and demonic threats come to
Los Angeles; at the same time, Lucifer and Chloe end up appreciating and
being happy with each other.
