‘Lucifer’ Comic-Con 2015: 6 Things We Learned At The SDCC Panel For The New Fox Show
Hell has descended upon Comic-Con in San Diego (SDCC). It isn’t in the purgatory of the Hall H line, but at the pilot screening and panel for the new Fox show “Lucifer,” based on the character from Vertigo Comics. The stars and a few members of the creative team traveled out to SDCC 2015 to introduce their new show coming to Fox in 2016.
Attending the “Lucifer” panel was star Tom Ellis, D.B. Woodside, Lesley-Ann Brandt, Lauren German with producer Len Wiseman and showrunner Joe Henderson. The new Fox show will follow Lucifer Morningstar as he “retires” to run a club in L.A. After a murder awakens feelings within, Lucifer is thrown into a tailspin about what to do with his earthly stay.
Check out the six things we learned at the “Lucifer” SDCC 2015 panel today:

Looks like “Lucifer” wasted no mortal time warming the crowd up at Comic-Con. Inspired by the character created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg, it’s good to hear the showrunners have opted to keep Lucifer’s devilish charm intact.
Seriously #Lucifer is hysterical. Whole room laughing at times #WBSDCC
— Eli (@doc_riverloki) July 10, 2015The interaction between Chloe and #Lucifer is brilliant. #WBSDCC "is that a stage name?" "God given I'm afraid"

The former “Merlin” actor described Lucifer Morningstar with a very interesting analogy.

The LAPD homicide detective was described as someone who can see Lucifer for who he really is. Plus, are fans already shipping these two together? The show hasn’t even started yet!

— Carolina (@fiarra) July 10, 20154. What Should Fans Expect From Season 1?
The main theme of the story arc is going to be about making good, which one must imagine is a lot of catch-up work to do when you’re the devil himself. Showrunner Hunderson hinted (via The Hollywood Reporter) that the story will focus on the earthbound characters more so than the other “Sandman” worlds. "We're just whittling it down to the most human and grounded versions of it."
Joe: It's a story of redemption #WBSDCC #DCSDCC #SDCC #SDCC2015 #Lucifer
— thepopculturecompany (@thepopcultureco) July 10, 20155. Author Neil Gaiman Enjoyed The Fanfare From Afar
Although not as directly involved with this adaptation of his character Lucifer, the bestselling author tweeted his approval over the boom of positive words about the pilot.
(Enjoying watching the online reactions to ##lucifer. It's like seeing the runaway ne'er do well kid next door growing up and making good.)

Devilishly good-looking bags that make your Comic-Con purchases and giveaways all the easier to carry. Actually, that sounds pretty heavenly.
