Television shows based on comic book properties are the new hot trend, and it's starting to open up a bit more into the world of Vertigo comics. With Constantine just ending its first season, and I, Zombie debuting in March, a new Vertigo based property is now coming to Fox: Lucifer.
According to Variety, Fox has ordered a pilot order for Lucifer. Jerry Bruckheimer, Jonathan Littman, and Len Wiseman have been attached at executive producers of this new hourlong drama, with Wisemen directing the pilot.
The pilot, based on the Vertigo character was created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth, and Mike Dringenberg, spun out of the pages of SANDMAN, into his own series by Mike Carey, Chris Weston, James Hodgkins, and Daniel Vozzo. The pilot will follow Lucifer, the lord of Hell, as he adondons his kingdom to go to L.A. where he helps the LAPD take down criminals.
No news yet on when the pilot will hit television, but you can still check out the new CW show I, Zombie, based off the Vertigo series, when it airs on March 17th.
