As Fox's
Lucifer adaptation drifts further and further away from its source material, Lauren German (
Hostel: Part 2, The Divide) has joined the cast as Chloe Dancer. Deadline describe the character as an
"LAPD homicide detective who finds herself both repulsed and fascinated by Lucifer. As they work together to solve a murder, Lucifer is struck by Chloe’s inherent goodness. Used to dealing with the absolute worst of humanity, Lucifer begins to wonder if there’s hope yet." The pilot will be directed by
Len Wiseman (the
Total Recall remake,
Underworld), who will also executive produce along with Tom Kapinos, Jerry Bruckheimer and Jonathan Littman.
The original logline for the show was pretty similar to the comic series, and had Lucifer growing tired with his infernal responsibilities and relocating to LA where he opened an exclusive piano bar called Lux. Now it seems it's "undergone an evolution toward a police procedural", with the character getting his kicks helping the LAPD punish criminals.
Tom Ellis will play the titular Fallen Angel, along with
Lina Esco as Maze/Makikeen.
