Lucifer is an American urban fantasy television series developed by Tom Kapinos that began airing on January 25, 2016 and concluded on September 10, 2021. It revolves around Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis), an alternate version of the DC Comics character of the same name created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg. In the series, Lucifer, the devil, abandons Hell to run a nightclub in Los Angeles, subsequently experiencing massive life changes when he becomes a consultant to the Los Angeles Police Department. The supporting cast includes Lauren German, Kevin Alejandro, D. B. Woodside, Lesley-Ann Brandt, Rachael Harris and Aimee Garcia.

Filming took place primarily in Vancouver before production was relocated entirely to Los Angeles at the start of the third season. The series was produced by Jerry Bruckheimer Television, DC Entertainment, and Warner Bros. Television. The first season of Lucifer received mixed reviews from critics, and its original broadcaster Fox canceled it after three seasons in May 2018. One month later, Netflix picked up the show following the fanbase's campaign to save it, and the series continued for a further three seasons; it consistently earned high viewership during its time on Netflix.^[3]
