The potential TV series will also undergo a change in plot, as the fantasy show will also be a police procedural. The story would still follow the Lord of Hell leaving his throne and abandons his kingdom for the beautiful and sinful streets of Los Angeles, but instead of opening a bar as in the comics, Lucifer will be helping the LAPD punish their criminals.

Lucifer first appeared in Neil Gaiman’s Sandman comics, which is also being adapted but for the big screen. Lucifer circulated through 2006 with a total of 75 issues.

Lucifer joins Fox’s Gotham as the network’s second show to be adapted from a property in DC.
