Season Episodes Originally aired First aired Last aired 13 January 25, 2016 ( 2016 - 01 - 25 ) April 25, 2016 ( 2016 - 04 - 25 ) 18 September 19, 2016 ( 2016 - 09 - 19 ) May 29, 2017 ( 2017 - 05 - 29 ) 24 October 2, 2017 ( 2017 - 10 - 02 ) May 14, 2018 ( 2018 - 05 - 14 ) Cast and characters Tom Ellis as Lucifer Morningstar : The Lord of Hell, who is bored with his life, abdicates his throne and becomes a civilian consultant for the Los Angeles Police Department while running his own high - end nightclub called `` Lux ''. Lucifer frequently tells people that he is the Devil and is very open about this, but very few take this seriously. He is a fallen angel, immortal, and besides powers such as superhuman strength and invulnerability, he has a supernatural ability to make people tell him their hidden desires. When he arrived in Los Angeles, he had his wings severed. Lucifer is highly sexual, and can make himself irresistible to most people. Neil Gaiman 's Lucifer was partly inspired by David Bowie, but the show 's creators decided against trying to mimic Bowie. Tom Ellis saw the character as a sort of Oscar Wilde or Noël Coward character `` with added rock and roll spirit '', approaching his portrayal as if he were the `` lovechild of Noël Coward and Mick Jagger, with a dash of British actor Terry - Thomas ''. Lauren German as Detective Chloe Decker : Like her father before her, she is an LAPD homicide detective. She solves crimes with Lucifer after he takes an interest in her because she appears immune to his abilities. She on her part finds his `` Lucifer - ness '' both intriguing and hard to deal with. Due to an earlier incident concerning a cop shooting, she was ostracized by her fellow officers, resulting in her being partnered with Lucifer as her civilian consultant. When she is around Lucifer, he becomes vulnerable to physical harm. Her ex-husband, Dan, is also with the LAPD, and they have a daughter, Trixie. Chloe 's widowed mother Penelope ( Rebecca De Mornay ) is an actress, as was Chloe herself, briefly. The events of season 2 reveal that Penelope was barren and Chloe 's conception was the result of a miracle, performed by God with assistance from Amenadiel. Kevin Alejandro as Detective Daniel `` Dan '' Espinoza : An LAPD homicide detective and Chloe 's ex-husband. He dislikes Lucifer because of his friendship with Chloe and Trixie, but as time passes Dan and Lucifer occasionally find common ground. Lucifer repeatedly calls him `` Detective Douche ''. Originally Chloe 's superior on the force, Dan was suspended due to the events of the Malcolm Graham case, then reinstated with a demotion to Detective. Dan has a complicated affair / relationship with Charlotte Richards / Mum. D.B. Woodside as Amenadiel : An angel, Lucifer 's older brother, and the eldest of all their siblings. His physical powers are similar to Lucifer 's, and he can also stop time. He arrives in Los Angeles to encourage Lucifer to go back to Hell, and failing that, he attempts to force Lucifer back in different ways. Unlike Lucifer, Amenadiel has always followed God 's orders, but comes to question his life - choices as events on earth makes him lose power and his wings. Lesley - Ann Brandt as Mazikeen : Confidante and devoted ally of Lucifer Morningstar, `` Maze '' for short. She is a demon who, having served as his head torturer, followed him from Hell to Los Angeles, and acted as a bartender and bodyguard at Lucifer 's club. In season 2, Maze looks for a new direction on Earth and becomes a bounty hunter, having found something that feels right to her. In season 3, she turns against Lucifer when he refuses to send her back to hell. Scarlett Estevez as Beatrice `` Trixie '' Espinoza : Chloe and Dan 's seven - year - old ( at the start of the series ) daughter, who befriends Lucifer and Mazikeen. Rachael Harris as Dr. Linda Martin : Lucifer 's Stanford - educated psychotherapist, who initially accepts `` payments '' from him in the form of sex. Like almost everyone else, Dr. Martin does not take what Lucifer says at face value, and at first believes that Lucifer is using a religious metaphor to describe himself and his dysfunctional family relationships, until he reveals his true self in season 2, which leaves her visibly shaken. Prior to this her attempts to help Lucifer solve his emotional and personal problems have limited success, since she does not appreciate what he tells her is the truth, and because Lucifer himself has a tendency to misunderstand or misapply her advice. Eventually, Dr. Martin becomes part of Lucifer 's circle of friends as well as his therapist. Her friendship with Amenadiel turns into a love - affair, which angers his previous lover Mazikeen. Kevin Rankin as Detective Malcolm Graham ( season 1 ) : A police officer who was shot prior to the beginning of the series. Chloe Decker witnessed the shooting, which occurred while Malcolm was secretly meeting with a suspected criminal. After the shooting, he was left in a coma. He briefly died but was then brought back from hell by Amenadiel to kill Lucifer, and is killed at the end of season one. Tricia Helfer as Charlotte Richards / `` Mum '' ( season 2 -- 3 ) : Lucifer and Amenadiel 's mother and exiled wife of God, who has escaped her prison in Hell. She is described as `` the goddess of all creation '', but her name and exact nature remain unrevealed. She is rumored to have caused plagues and floods before her imprisonment, and seeks revenge on her ex-husband. On Earth, her soul occupies the body of Charlotte Richards, a murdered lawyer. At the end of season 2, she leaves the universe, prompted by Lucifer to create her own world. This resurrects the human Charlotte, who has no memory of her time as `` Mum '', but does remember being in hell. Scared into trying to be a better person, Charlotte begins working for the DA 's office in season 3. At the end of the season, she is killed by a bullet meant for Amenadiel. Aimee Garcia as Ella Lopez ( seasons 2 -- 3 ) : A forensic scientist for the LAPD who helps Chloe and Lucifer with their cases. Ella hails from Detroit, grew up with four brothers, and claims to have a somewhat criminal past. Ella wears a crucifix, leading both Lucifer and Chloe to ask questions about her Christian faith ; according to Ella, she had an aunt who was a nun, but who taught her that to doubt things was all right, and so Ella believes questioning things makes her a better scientist. Tom Welling as Lieutenant Marcus Pierce / Cain ( season 3 ) : A highly respected police lieutenant who oversees the work of Chloe, Dan, and Ella at the precinct. He is revealed to be the immortal Cain, the world 's first murderer, condemned to wander the earth forever. Cain briefly allies with Lucifer in an attempt to make himself mortal, but they fall out as they compete over Chloes affection. Production Development and casting In September 2014, it was reported that DC and Fox were developing a television series based on the Sandman character Lucifer, as originally written by Neil Gaiman. In February 2015, it was announced that Tom Ellis had been cast as Lucifer Morningstar, and that Tom Kapinos would write the pilot, to be directed by Len Wiseman. Lina Esco was originally cast as Maze ( Mazikeen ), however, the role was later recast with Lesley - Ann Brandt. Nicholas Gonzalez portrayed Dan in the pilot episode. The series is a `` loose adaption '' of the original comic - book. In May 2015, the series was officially picked up for 13 episodes for the 2015 -- 16 season. Fox then hired Almost Human alum Joe Henderson as showrunner, with Kapinos remaining on the series in a lesser capacity. In June 2016, it was announced that Tricia Helfer had been cast as Lucifer and Amenadiel 's mother, Charlotte, and that she was to appear in multiple episodes in season 2. The character was promoted to series regular in July 2016. Aimee Garcia had also been cast as a regular in season 2, playing L.A.P.D. 's forensic scientist Ella Lopez. In August 2016, executive producer Ildy Modrovich announced the casting of Michael Imperioli as the angel Uriel, Amenadiel and Lucifer 's younger brother with `` a chip on his shoulder ''. Filming locations Although the pilot was shot on location in Los Angeles, the rest of the first season and the entirety of the second were filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, with a relocation to California beginning with the third season, taking advantage of tax incentives provided by the California Film Commission under its `` Program 2.0 '' initiative. Music The opening theme is a six - second clip from `` Being Evil Has a Price '', performed by the band Heavy Young Heathens. In a lawsuit filed against Warner Bros., the song 's composers, Robert and Aron Marderosian, claim the song has been used without giving them proper credit or a licensing agreement. Several episodes include musical performances by Tom Ellis, although he has stated in interviews that while it is his vocals, the piano accompaniment seen on screen is not actually him. Neil Gaiman is a fan of David Bowie, and some of Bowie 's music has been used on the show. Release Broadcast Broadcast on the Fox network in the US, and on FX in Australia. The series is also broadcast in New Zealand on the TVNZ1 channel Home Media The series is available on Amazon Prime in the United Kingdom, and the first season on CraveTV in Canada.

The pilot was met positively by the viewers, with Bleeding Cool 's Dan Wickline praising the episode, saying `` the show itself is enjoyable because of the great dialogue and flawless delivery from its lead '' and `` This version of Lucifer refuses to take almost anything seriously and the show is better for it. '' Max Nicholson of IGN rated the pilot episode a 6.9 / 10, praising Tom Ellis 's performance as Lucifer and the lighthearted tone of the show, but criticizing the show for essentially being another crime procedural show. The first season received mixed reviews. The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reports a 47 % approval rating based on 38 reviews, with an average rating of 5.24 / 10. The site 's critical consensus reads, `` Lucifer 's got sex appeal, but the show 's hackneyed cop procedural format undermines a potentially entertaining premise. '' Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 49 out of 100, based 24 critics, indicating `` mixed or average reviews. '' Critics were much more appreciative of the second and third seasons. Both hold a 100 % approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 5 reviews, with an average score of 7.75 out of 10. and 9.33 out of 10, Several critics praised the second season for its atmosphere and Tom Ellis ' performance as Lucifer Morningstar. Ed Power of the Telegraph gave the season 2 premiere a 4 / 5 stating that `` It is entirely beguiled by its own preposterousness. '' Bernard Boo of We Got This Covered gave the premiere 3.5 / 5 stars saying `` Lucifer 's second season gets off to a nice start, building on the show 's strengths while retaining some of the weaknesses. It remains an unapologetically sordid, demonically fun hour of TV. '' LaToya Ferguson of the A.V. Club gave it a B, calling the episode funny with `` genuinely funny moments to come from '' and saying that the premiere `` starts the season off on a good note. '' She praised Tom Ellis ' performance calling it `` pitch perfect.

The petition says the new series `` will glorify Satan as a caring, likable person in human flesh. '' It posted the petition on that date and 31,312 had signed the petition by the series ' premiere date. The petition on the main AFA website, posted the same date, garnered 134,331 signatures by the premiere date. In response to the petition, character creator Neil Gaiman commented on his Tumblr page : `` Ah. It seems like only yesterday ( but it was 1991 ) that the `` Concerned Mothers of America '' announced that they were boycotting The Sandman because it contained lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and trans characters. It was Wanda that upset them most : the idea of a trans - woman in a comic book... They told us they were organizing a boycott of The Sandman, which they would only stop if we wrote to the American Family Association and promised to reform. I wonder if they noticed it did n't work last time, either... '' Regardless of the campaign, Fox renewed the series in April 2016 for a second season. Cancellation reactions On May 11, 2018, following the series ' cancellation, executive producer Joe Henderson indicated that the third season finale was not intended to be a series finale and that it would feature a `` huge cliffhanger '' that was meant to deter Fox from cancelling the series. Fans rallied on Twitter and # SaveLucifer soon became the # 1 trending topic worldwide with the hashtag being used approximately 1 million times that day. Two days after the launch of campaign, the total number of tweets reached 2 million. The day after the # SaveLucifer campaign began, a second hashtag, # PickUpLucifer, also spent time as the number one worldwide trending tag, and returned to the top five during the finale, according to showrunner Ildy Modrovich. An online petition also began circulating aimed at renewing Lucifer for season 4 on a new network. Within two days, over 90,000 people signed the petition. The series is reportedly being shopped around to premium cable and streaming services.
