Lucifer is one of the most beloved American fantasy TV series developed by Tom Kapinos and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer Television, DC Entertainment, and Warner Bros. Television.
Lucifer series is based on a DC comic character Lucifer Morningstar, created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth, and Mike Dringenberg. It first appeared in The Sandman but later was made the protagonist in a spin-off series published by DC Comics’ Vertigo line.
Lucifer started to premiere on January 25, 2016 and concluded after 6 seasons with 93 episodes on September 10, 2021.
The show initially aired on Fox between 2016-2018. After three seasons, Fox canceled Lucifer, from where Netflix picked it up after just a month of cancellation. This decision was preceded by a massive #SaveLucifer and #PickUpLucifer online campaign.
Lucifer became a Netflix Original title with its fourth season, eventually becoming a cult show. The penultimate episode of the fourth season is titled “Save Lucifer” to honor the campaign that revived the show from abandonment.
The show takes its name from the protagonist around whom the series revolves, Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis). He is the DC Universe’s version of Devil, also known as Samael or The Lightbringer. After being dissatisfied with his sulking life in hell, he abandons his throne, retiring to the city of Los Angeles. There he runs a nightclub called Lux and enjoys a lavish lifestyle around women, wine, and songs.
In front of his nightclub, an old acquaintance’s murder awakens sympathy and compassion in the otherwise non-bothered fallen angel. Further, after meeting a homicide detective, Chloe Decker (Lauren German), who still possesses humanity and righteousness, Lucifer transforms from within. He starts to wonder if there’s still a soul left in him. Working with the LAPD and Chloe, he then punishes sinners.

The final season ended with tearful fans longing for another return. But this time, it is a definitive bittersweet goodbye with proper closure. It has call-backs of previous characters and also new characters. The final season is exciting, filled with the adventures of time travel, Lucifer’s daughter Rory from the future, and a world breaking apart as God retires.
