Fox announced today that Lucifer and Rosewood will join The Simpsons, Bob’s Burgers, The Last Man on Earth, Family Guy, Gotham, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Scream Queens, Empire and Bones’ final season on their lineup next season. Missing from the list is Sleepy Hollow (most likely will decapitated), Bordertown (probably deported), Cooper Barrett’s Guide to Surviving Life (not surviving death), Grandfathered (still undecided if it is on the menu), Grinder (the jury is out on this one) and New Girl (that is getting old).
When it comes to today news, I love the devilishly good Lucifer so I can’t wait to see what trouble he gets into next season. Tom Ellis has perfected being so good at being so hellishly bad.
Before Tom Ellis was the Devil in Lucifer, he was an Angel to Nicholas Nickleby in The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby. How cute was the 21 year old in that 2001 movie?
Lucifer might be the devil, but the show that debuts on Fox at 9p tonight after The X-Files is just heavenly.
Lucifer (Tom Ellis) is bored as hell of Hell, so he decides to take a vacation in Los Angeles, which is like a Hell away from Hell. Heaven wants him back in Hell, but he doesn’t want to go. The angel Amenadiel (D. B. Woodside) and Lucifer’s confidant, Maze (Lesley-Ann Brandt), will do everything in their power to get him to go back home.
Then when one of the people (AnnaLynne McCord), he did a “favor” for, is shot and killed in his arms, he vows to find her killer. Only thing, is the police are also looking for the murderer and Homicide Detective Chloe Decker (Lauren German) is the lead investigator on this case. Lucifer and Chloe’s paths keep crossing and for some reason she is not a prisoner of his charms. This intrigues him and makes them good partners as they solve crimes together each week. Who knew the Devil, was so good as solving crimes?
Actually the Devil isn’t only good at solving crimes, the show is so bloody good. Tom Ellis is so perfect at the playing the charming Lucifer, you will be under his spell before the opening credits start to roll.
Tune in for a procedural that is so devilishly bad, it is heavenly.
