About Lucifer

Lucifer follows Lucifer Morningstar, the Devil himself, who has grown bored and unhappy with his life ruling Hell. He abandons his throne and relocates to Los Angeles, where he runs a glamorous nightclub called Lux and indulges in the pleasures of the human world. His charmed existence takes a sharp turn when he becomes drawn into a murder investigation that pulls him into the orbit of the Los Angeles Police Department.

After meeting homicide detective Chloe Decker, Lucifer discovers that he has an unexpected fascination with delivering justice and uncovering the truth behind crimes. He begins consulting for the LAPD, using his supernatural ability to draw out people's deepest desires to help solve cases. The procedural format pairs murder-of-the-week mysteries with the slow-burning, will-they-wont-they relationship between Lucifer and Chloe.

Beyond the crime solving, the series explores Lucifer's strained relationship with his celestial family, including his angelic brother Amenadiel and his demon ally Mazikeen. Across six seasons the show blends comedy, romance, and theology, asking questions about free will, redemption, and whether even the Devil can change. It built a passionate fan base, was canceled by Fox after season three, and was revived by Netflix to finish its story.
