Rise up Lucifans, for #SaveLucifer

Published

So a couple of years ago, we were introduced to an adorably smarmy and charming version of Lucifer Morningstar, the Devil himself who had grown weary of Hell and took off to Los Angeles of all places, for an eternal vacation amongst humanity.

Lucifer latched onto one Detective Chloe Decker, a former child star actor with a fair bit of human baggage, both personally and professionally, and thus we have the buddy-cop joy that is the FOX show Lucifer. The show is loosely based on the character of the same name from the DC Vertigo imprint, from master storytellers Neil Gaiman and Sam Keith.

The show also gave us the utter deliciousness that is Tom Ellis, the man who plays Lucifer Morningstar on the show, and is just as effortlessly charming in real life, plainly evidenced by his glorious manner at every last geeky convention he’s ever paneled for Lucifer at. His co-stars are always fun to have on the panel too, but let’s face it, just like his character on the show, it was Tom Ellis singing, or leading the others in ‘no sh*t there I was on the set’ stories, that we came to see.

And speaking of the shows other actors, ‘Lucifer’ is well-known for giving each their own separate storyline that intersects with Lucifers’ at interesting points, and often making them relatable to the audience in their own lives. Tons could be said about poor Chloe and her constant push-pull relationship with Lucifer, but most of the time we’re laughing at the screen, “I feel you, girl.” Therapist Linda only recently got the shock of her life, that angels really are for really-reals, and that more or less everything Lucifer was ranting about his Father and family was actually true.

Charlotte the lawyer, brilliantly played by everyone’s favorite Six Tricia Helfer, even after being divested of the powers of Mother-Goddess herself, struggles with the very basic human problem of being bad or being good. Amenadiel, Lucifer’s brother, oh he’s a bundle of angelic and human-like contradictions, but that propensity for martyrdom often rises to the top. Lucifer’s best gal Mazikeen, she runs around in her own skin most of the time, and it’s oh so delicious to see someone revel in being exactly what they are, especially for those of us out here who can’t.

This new season breathed life back into the career of Tom Welling, whom yes we all know from damn near a decade of Smallville, casting him as the hidden Caine and monkey in the wrench of Lucifer’s already complicated little world of L.A. Another biblical character with all sorts of very base human desires and complications is a brilliant move on the part of the Lucifer storytellers, and Welling pulls it off very well.

But now, due as far as I can discern only to a lack of good-enough ratings numbers, our beloved ‘Lucifer’ has been cancelled at FOX. Almost immediately there was an outcry from loyal fandom, and the campaign for #SaveLucifer only got louder when Tom Ellis himself took to Twitter to confirm the cancellation and state that he was gutted by the whole affair.

The show Brooklyn Nine-Nine was picked up after cancellation and large fan outcry by NBC, so Lucifer fans are refusing to give up just yet. Ellis came back to Twitter and said how blown away he was by the whole #SaveLucifer thing, and to keep fighting.

Rise up, my fellow Lucifans! Let your voice be heard, to the heavens and hells and all over fandom, we want to #SaveLucifer! Join the movement on Twitter, hell on all your social medias, don’t pluck the Devil from our Mondays!

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
