What’s in store for Lucifer? Recently, executive producers Joe Henderson and Ildy Modrovich discussed the future of the FOX TV series, Deadline reports.
The drama follows Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis) as he abandons his throne in Hell for a life in Los Angeles. The cast also includes Lauren German, D. B. Woodside, Tricia Helfer, Rachael Harris, Lesley-Ann Brandt, Kevin Alejandro, Aimee Garcia, and Scarlett Estevez.
Shortly after FOX renewed the series for a third season, it was announced the network shortened Lucifer‘s season two episode count from 22 to 18 episodes. At WonderCon this past weekend, Henderson clarified that the four episodes cut from season two will air as stand-alone episodes next season:
What happened was, we initially broke an 18-episode season, and towards the end of working on that season, we were told that we had 22 episodes, which is awesome, but a little bit of a trick.”
Modrovich later added:
We were worried that we were going to have to sort of pad our arc that we had so carefully, lovingly constructed, but they actually said instead, let’s do four stand-alone episodes that can go anywhere. At first we went, ‘What? We’re a serialized show—that’s bananas.’ But we’ve had so much fun thinking about shows that we love, like X-Files, and some of the stand-alone episodes were our favorites.”
And what’s in store for these stand-alone episodes? Henderson teased:
They’re all different, and they’re all super weird, and we were sort of given permission to go a little crazy. I think they didn’t expect us to go as crazy as we did. … We’ve got an episode that’s much more sort of a romp; we’ve got an episode that’s a Twilight Zone-y kind of thing—like dark, and at times it almost feels like a play.”
What do you think? Do you watch Lucifer? Are you excited for the supersized season three?
I love the show please don’t cancel it
I love the show. And music. I like characters. It is good comedy and drama the same. Hopefully the creators of show will sail with us further through Lucifer picture in culture. Doesn’t matter wheter they would like take off mask from main character or leave him so vague.
Fantastic !cannot wait!
Lucifer is an amazing show! Who would of thought the Devil could be so sexy and hilarious. Tom Ellis is perfect and fantastic. May is too long to wait for the season end. Really looking forward to a third season. Never cancel this show!
Love it. Cant wait till it comes back on.
So excited to see the new episode!! Anxious to see what surprises are in store, maybe see a little more of a dark side to the devil? Some insight as to why Chloe was put in Lucifer’s path….. so much fun!!
Love the show. Great humor and just one of those shows that I will always watch first….before anything else. Can’t wait for the stand alone shows this season. Those usually play out well. Very happy the network is investing in this one. It’s a good quality program. Also seems to have a dedicated following.
I enjoy the series immensely! The idea that Lucifer has “parental issues” is just so funny!
Lucifer has an attraction sort of like a blend of “Castle”, Erik Northman of “True Blood” and the character of “Bob” in the Dresden Files books!
All have a sort of innocence about themselves…even though they are quite worldly
