Trivia
- Tom Ellis (Lucifer) does his own singing throughout the show, although does not play the piano on screen. In early interviews for the show, he said he didn’t “really know” how to. In 2019, a video of him accompanying himself on a piano whilst singing showed he’s since added this skill to his repertoire (however, he has said in several interviews since that he is still only playing ¨air piano¨ in scenes as Lucifer).
- In almost all episodes, the name of the episode is said by Lucifer.
- In the TV series Supernatural, season 11 Ep 10, the show’s version of Lucifer says that if he got out of his cage in hell, he would move to LA and help solve crime. The episode aired before the Lucifer pilot.
