The latest in this line of sympathetic Satans is Lucifer Morningstar, the protagonist of FOX’s hit dramedy Lucifer.
Starring Welsh actor Tom Ellis (The Strain), Lucifer focuses on the titular devil, who has grown increasingly bored with running Hell’s everyday operations.
To that end, FOX has released a new promo for Lucifer season 2, which teases the resolution to the season 1 finale bombshell that Lucifer’s mother had escaped from Hell, leading to Lucifer being tasked by God with recapturing her.
With Lucifer now an established part of the FOX fall line-up, Ellis finds himself in a potential career-making role.
