“Lucifer” kicked off in 2016, based on a DC Comics guy. It’s about Lucifer Morningstar ditching Hell for sunny Los Angeles, running a nightclub and playing detective with LAPD. The show dives into redemption, morality and all that deep stuff while serving up humor, action and complicated relationships. Fans love it and critics rave about its storyline and the cast’s performances. Who knew Hell could be so entertaining?

Meet the characters from Lucifer

Lucifer Morningstar

Lucifer is the kind of showy, suit-wearing devil who will steal your heart and then sip your espresso with impeccable timing — dramatic, flirtatious, and deeply, frustratingly curious about humans. He loves being naughty on principle but also surprises himself by being ridiculously protective (and yes, sometimes sentimental, don’t tell him I said that). Quick-witted, theatrical, and always leaning into chaos like it’s a hobby, he also has a secret soft spot for classical music and good croissants (or was it pancakes? he’ll argue either way). He claims he wants no responsibility but then solves moral crises for fun, which is exactly why everyone keeps letting him stick around.

Chloe Decker

Chloe is the stubborn, no-nonsense cop with a steel spine and a confusingly gentle center — she’s moral, practical, and low on patience, especially for nonsense like souls and theatrics. She insists she doesn’t believe in all that supernatural stuff (and then promptly deals with it) and somehow balances being a protective mom with being a relentless detective. Dry humor, serious instincts, and that perpetually tired-but-alert vibe; she’s the kind of person who’d file a report in the middle of a crisis and still remember everyone’s coffee order. Also, she has this quietly heroic way of grounding everyone — and she gets flustered in the best possible way around Lucifer, which is adorable and very unfair.

Dan Espinoza

Dan is the grumpy-but-loyal cop who chews on his conscience like gum — partners with bravado, but soft as an actual marshmallow on the inside (don’t make him say that out loud). He’s full of rules and righteous anger, prone to jealous outbursts and heartfelt apologies in equal measure; a walking contradiction, basically. Stubborn, a little messy in life choices, and protective to a fault, Dan will roll his eyes and then run into danger like it’s his part-time job. He also has weirdly solid parenting instincts and a tendency to say the wrong thing at the right moment, which is somehow very Dan.

Mazikeen

Maze is the best kind of wrecking ball — lethal, fierce, and fashionably chaotic, with knives and loyalty that are both razor-sharp. She’s a fearsome demon-turned-bouncer-turned-heart-stealer who would rather punch first and ask questions never, yet she’s oddly domestic sometimes (cupcakes? tattoos? it’s a vibe). Extreme loyalty is her superpower; she’ll protect her chosen pack without blinking and also make a deadpan joke while doing it. Tough exterior, surprisingly tender inside, and probably the only person who can make violence look like a lifestyle choice and still show up with snacks after.

Amenadiel

Amenadiel starts off like the textbook righteous angel — stern, moral, intensely principled — and then slowly becomes someone who can’t stop falling in love with human food and small comforts (I mean, breakfast is practically a religion for him). He’s awkwardly honorable, painfully sincere, and has this old-fashioned dignity but will also bumble around learning to enjoy a movie night like a confused dad. Very serious about duty, soft about family, and prone to dramatic pronouncements that somehow turn into heartfelt life lessons. Also he’s both terrifyingly powerful and kind of adorably out of touch with slang, which is honestly endearing.

Linda Martin

Linda is the therapist everyone needs: warm, slightly chaotic, and way too invested in other people’s celestial messes (boundaries? what are those?). She’s brilliant at listening, occasionally crosses into full-on meddling, and will probably have coffee and a very good metaphor about your feelings ready in five minutes. Level-headed but not immune to existential crises, she becomes the emotional glue for a lot of characters while also being surprisingly human (and human enough to eat snacks in the office, obviously). She’s calm, funny in a comforting way, and will absolutely roll her eyes while fixing the supernatural chaos — but with love.

Trixie Espinoza

Trixie is the adorable, sharp-as-a-tack kid who says the real things adults are too polite to mention and then looks innocent while doing it — sassy, imaginative, and weirdly insightful. She’s full of dramatic declarations, sudden empathy, and this tendency to adore Lucifer one second and be suspicious the next (kid logic, but also pure gold). Brave and cuddly, she’s the sort of kid who will solve crimes with toys, give unsolicited but accurate life advice, and then demand snacks like any competent tiny human. Also, she collects stuffed animals like they’re evidence, which is both practical and adorable.

Ella Lopez

Ella is the bouncy, brilliant forensic scientist whose enthusiasm is practically a measurable force — part scientist, part walking pep talk, and entirely lovable. She’ll break into concise scientific monologues about blood spatter and then pray and eat cupcakes five minutes later, which is her whole vibe: faith and facts in a glittery casserole. Obsessively detailed, delightfully literal sometimes, and able to make even the bleakest lab notes feel like a cheerful story (complete with dramatic sound effects if allowed). She’s chaotic-organized, emotionally open, and will invent nicknames for your organs if you let her.
