Fox has released the first trailer for the adaptation of
Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth, and Mike Dringenberg's DC Comics character, Lucifer.
The series, which a few days ago received a series
order, will see a bored Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis) leave Hell to open a
club in Los Angeles called Lux. But when tragedy hits, he has to team-up with LAPD
homicide detective Chloe Dancer (Lauren German) to bring those responsible to justice.
The Devil has come to Los Angeles…
Based upon the characters created by Neil Gaiman, Sam
Kieth and Mike Dringenberg for DC Entertainment’s Vertigo imprint, LUCIFER is
the story of the original fallen angel. Bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell,
LUCIFER MORNINGSTAR (Tom Ellis, “Merlin”) has abandoned his throne and retired
to L.A., where he owns Lux, an upscale nightclub.
Charming, charismatic and devilishly handsome, Lucifer
is enjoying his retirement, indulging in a few of his favorite things – wine,
women and song – when a beautiful pop star is brutally murdered outside of Lux.
For the first time in roughly 10 billion years, he feels something awaken deep
within him as a result of this murder. Compassion? Sympathy? The very thought
disturbs him – as well as his best friend and confidante, MAZIKEEN aka MAZE
(Lesley-Ann Brandt, “The Librarians”), a fierce demon in the form of a
beautiful young woman.
The murder attracts the attention of LAPD homicide
detective CHLOE DANCER (Lauren German, “Chicago Fire”), who initially is
dismissive of Lucifer. But she becomes intrigued by his talent for drawing out
people’s secrets and his desire to dispense justice, doling out punishment to
those who deserve it. As they work together to solve the pop star’s murder,
Lucifer is struck by Chloe’s inherent goodness. Accustomed to dealing with the
absolute worst of humanity, Lucifer is intrigued by Chloe’s apparent purity and
begins to wonder if there’s hope for his own soul yet.
At the same time, God’s emissary, the angel AMENADIEL
(DB Woodside, “Suits,” “24”), has been sent to Los Angeles to convince Lucifer
to return to the underworld…can the Devil incarnate be tempted toward the side
of Good, or will his original calling pull him back toward Evil?
