Fox recently committed to a put pilot for a 'Lucifer' TV series, in partnership with DC Entertainment and its sibling company Warner Bros. TV, Deadline reported.

The character of 'Lucifer,' which first appeared in 'Sandman,' was modelled by Gaiman from John Milton's portrayal of the King of Hell in 'Paradise Lost.' He was also reportedly drawn in David Bowie's likeness.

'Lucifer' was such an interesting character that Vertigo went ahead and created a solo graphic novel series of his own. Mike Carey wrote the spinoff.

The 'Lucifer' TV series will be handled by executive producer Tom Kapinos, who created 'Californication.'

Based on the Vertigo books, the show will center on Lucifer who relinquishes his position as King of Hell after getting bored of the work. He then moves to Los Angeles, where he opens an exclusive piano bar called Lux.

DC Entertainment isn't slowing down anytime soon. Warner Bros. TV recently debuted its Batman spinoff show, 'Gotham' which stars Benjamin McKenzie as a younger James Gordon.

'The Flash' and 'Constantine' will also be debuting later this year, with the fourth season of 'Arrow' set for an October premiere.

Other superhero shows have also been confirmed to be in production, including 'Supergirl,' 'Titans' (based on 'Teen Titans'), and the possibility of a Wonder Woman series.

Neil Gaiman, who created the 'Lucifer' character, will also be having several of his works adapted. 'Good Omens,' which he co-wrote with Terry Pratchett, will be made into a radio program by BBC and 'American Gods' and 'Anansi Boys' will be in production for TV shows soon.

His short story, 'How To Talk To Girls At Parties,' will be getting a big screen adaptation with John Cameron Mitchell at the helm. A movie deal for 'The Graveyard Book' was also rumored to have been in the hands of Disney some time ago, but that still remains to be seen.

No specific release date or casting for the 'Lucifer' TV series has been announced, so far.
