Status: This series is coming to Fox 2016. Pitch: Lucifer has quit as lord of Hell and come to Earth. He ends up investigating crimes with a human detective as partner, making this something of a cross between the Mike Carey comics spun off from Neil Gaiman's Sandman and your standard supernatural police procedural. Odds of Success Onscreen: Average. The use of this established genre may help introduce the weirder elements of this Vertigo character without overpowering them. On the other hand, that's what people said about Constantine, and look how that worked out.
