Lucifer is an American fantasy police procedural comedy-drama television series developed by Tom Kapinos that premiered on Fox on January 25, 2016. It features a character created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth, and Mike Dringenberg taken from the comic book series The Sandman, who later became the protagonist of the spin-off comic book series Lucifer written by Mike Carey, both published by DC Comics' Vertigo imprint. In April 2016, Fox renewed the series for a second season, which premiered on September 19, 2016. On October 31, 2016, the series received a 22-episode full second season pickup by Fox.
The series focuses on Lucifer Morningstar, the Devil, "who is bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell and resigns his throne and abandons his kingdom for the beauty of Los Angeles, where he gets his kicks helping the LAPD punish criminals". Lucifer runs a nightclub in Los Angeles called "Lux", with the assistance of his demonic ally Mazikeen or "Maze". After a minor celebrity whom Lucifer once helped achieve fame is murdered outside his club, Lucifer becomes involved with the LAPD when he takes it upon himself to assist Detective Chloe Decker in finding the one responsible so that he can "punish" him. He becomes fascinated with Decker when she appears to be immune to his powers and charms.
In the second season, God's wife escapes Hell and inhabits the body of a dead lawyer. Lucifer's punishment for "mom" is to stay on Earth, as she hates humans. It later turns out that Lucifer was to return mom to Hell or God will take Chloe's life, as per the bargain in season one. Amenadiel later remembers that God sent him to grant the miracle of Penelope Decker becoming pregnant with Chloe; thus Chloe and Lucifer were destined to meet, and the reason why she is both immune to his powers and makes his immortality void in her presence.
In September 2014, it was reported that DC and Fox were developing a television series based on the Sandman character Lucifer, as originally written by Neil Gaiman. In February 2015, it was announced that Tom Ellis had been cast as Lucifer Morningstar, and that Tom Kapinos would write the pilot, to be directed by Len Wiseman.Lina Esco was originally cast as Maze (Mazikeen), however, the role was later recast with Lesley-Ann Brandt.Nicholas Gonzalez portrayed Dan in the pilot episode.
