Lucifer is a 2016 American television series developed by Tom Kapinosthat premiered on Fox on January 25, 2016. The series 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 under the Vertigo imprint of DC Comics. The television series is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer Television, in association with Warner Bros. Television.

The series follows Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis), the Devil, who has abandoned Hell for Los Angeles where he runs his own nightclub called “Lux” and becomes a consultant to the LAPD. In the series, Lucifer is bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell and decides to abandon his throne and retire to Los Angeles, where he gets his kicks helping the LAPD punish criminals.

The show was originally pitched as a police procedural in which Lucifer would help the LAPD solve crimes, but the focus shifted to the “soap opera” elements of the character’s life. The show received mixed reviews from critics, with many praising Ellis’ performance and the show’s humor, but others criticizing its procedural format and the inclusion of religious themes.
