London: Fox has handed a pilot order to the DC Comics adaptation 'Lucifer'.

Jerry Bruckheimer and Sleepy Hollow's Len Wiseman are executive producing Lucifer from a pilot script by 'Californication's Tom Kapinos, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

'Lucifer' will centre on the ruler hell abandoning his kingdom out of boredom to make his new home in Los Angeles.
