lucifer Lucifer gets his wings back – and a new rival
SEASON 3 US BROADCAST: Fox from 2 October UK BROADCAST: Amazon Prime TBC
The stArt oF LucIFER season three is, technically, a four-episode mini arc cut from last season’s episode count revolving around Lucifer (tom ellis) getting his wings back. After that storyline, the series welcomes a brand-new character in tom Welling’s police lieutenant, Marcus Pierce. executive producer Mike dringenberg explains, “i’ve been a long-time
Smallville fan and through that i knew what tom could do, and the range he has. We’re excited that the reason we could get him is that this is a role that is very different from what he’s played before.” Fellow executive producer ildy Modrovich concurs adding, “You’re not going to see the mild-mannered Clark Kent at all. he’s got a little edge.” And they also confirm that Pierce has his romantic sights set on Chloe decker (Lauren german).
the exec producers tell SFX they’re looking at changing the character pairings this year to shake up the storytelling dynamics. dringenberg details, “When it comes to the mixing and matching, our challenge is playing with the dynamic and then moving the characters on a journey so the next time they’re paired up it’s a completely different dynamic.” Modrovich continues, “We consider, ‘Who haven’t we put together yet, and what would that be like?’ in the premiere episode, ella (Aimee garcia) and Amenadiel (dB Woodside) have a lovely little scene together because they haven’t really met before. she’s the woman of faith and helps him remember what faith is. it takes this quirky little scientist to remind god’s favourite son what faith is.”
