Unknown Mind-Blowing Facts About the TV Show “Lucifer”

First off, Tom Ellis as Lucifer Morningstar? Absolute perfection. He’s suave, smooth-talking, and unapologetically charming. And yes, that British accent is real. It was entirely his decision. Apparently, Ellis thought the Devil would sound like a “jerk” with an American accent—honestly, he’s not wrong.

And just so you know, while he does sing in the show (and he’s pretty damn good), the piano is playing. He doesn’t play the piano. However, his voice deserves significant recognition. Word is, the producers only discovered his singing talent when he grabbed a mic at a karaoke night in Vancouver (yep, not LA—Seasons 1 and 2 were shot in Canada).

The Devil’s in the Details (Literally)

There’s so much to love in this show, from clever Easter eggs to genuinely touching moments. Here are a few of my favourite fun facts:

Every episode title is spoken aloud

Once you notice it, you can’t unhear it. It’s such a cheeky little detail that makes watching (and rewatching) an absolute joy.

Lucifer never smokes (kind of)

Sure, he’s always got a cigarette nearby—an ashtray here, a flame there—but you’ll never actually see him take a drag. Apparently, addiction is not something the devil indulges in. That makes sense, I suppose.

No mention of Jesus—at all

You’d think a show about Lucifer, angels, and Hell would mention Jesus at least once, right? Nope. There was not even a passing “bless you” in the text. The writers completely sidestep the topic, and I respect the boldness.

What Makes Lucifer So Damn Addictive?

Honestly, it’s the blend. The blend encompasses a blend of drama, comedy, romance, celestial chaos, and genuine character development. One minute you’re laughing at Lucifer’s sass; the next you’re crying over his inner turmoil. Lucifer, a fallen angel with father issues, is relatable, isn’t he?

Oh, and the cast? Dream team. Everyone on the dream team, including Chloe “the detective” Decker, Maze, Amenadiel, Linda, and the beloved Inbar Lavi as Eve, brings their best.

Speaking of Inbar Lavi, here’s why we’re obsessed with Eve in Lucifer.

The #SaveLucifer Movement: When Fans Fought Back

Fans, including myself, were furious when Fox cancelled Lucifer after Season 3. The #SaveLucifer campaign took off, generating over eight million tweets. Netflix, bless them, heard the cries and resurrected the series for more seasons.

And in true Lucifer fashion, they announced Season 4’s premiere exactly 666 hours before its release. Iconic.

Real Talk: Tom Ellis and His Heavenly Backstory

Are you prepared for a surprising turn of events? Tom Ellis grew up in a super-religious family—his dad, uncle, and sister are all pastors. And he plays the literal Lord of Hell. You can’t write irony better than that.

Fun fact: he also has a twin sister and grew up surrounded by women. No wonder he pulls off Lucifer’s charm with such finesse—he gets us.

Final Verdict: Lucifer is Fire (Literally and Figuratively)

Lucifer should be at the top of your list if you enjoy crime dramas, angels and demons, flirty banter, and a captivating soundtrack. It’s clever, hot, surprisingly emotional, and completely unforgettable.

So go on, pour yourself a glass of whisky (neat, of course), hit play, and get ready to make a deal with the devil. You won’t regret it.
