One of the most intriguing aspects of FOX’s Lucifer television series (based on the comic book created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth, and Mike Dringenberg) is the relationship between Lucifer Morningstar and Detective Chloe Decker. Played by Tom Ellis and Lauren German, respectively, their partnership in crime-solving is at once competitive, friendly, and complicated—a refreshing change from the will they or won’t they? formula that many crime shows rely on to drive story lines.

The Teaser
One might think a crime-fighting partnership would be less effective when one half of that equation has a relationship with one of their targets, but Lucifer and Detective Chloe Decker make an excellent team. A series regular on Fox’s Sleepy Hollow, Lauren German plays LAPD detective Chloe Decker, who has now become one of Lucifer’s (Tom Ellis) best allies after revealing that she is immune to his persuasion abilities. They’ve developed a relationship over time in which they can trust each other—despite their differences. The chemistry between Detective Decker and Lucifer is undeniable. As more episodes air, viewers are learning how two incredibly different people have come together to solve crimes while also dealing with larger problems in Hell as Lucifer wrestles with claims that he was once Satan himself.
Pilot Episode
The pilot episode, Pilot, is set in Los Angeles. Lucifer is bored with being in hell and plots to cause trouble on Earth by anonymously helping people get away with murder. He becomes enamored of a homicide detective named Chloe Decker (Lauren German), who appears to be immune to his charms. After he saves her life,
they begin working together to solve murders. The next day, Lucifer visits Decker at work, revealing that he has figured out that she had fallen victim to a serial killer whom he reveals he stopped from killing again after discovering how much she means to him. The police dismiss Lucifer’s help at first but soon hire him as a consultant (Mr. & Mrs.
The Devil Made Me Do It
A nod to his character’s given name, Lucifer Morningstar is out to prove that he’s no longer a bad guy. Having been trapped in hell for a couple of years after he betrayed his brothers by taking over hell, Lucifer has returned to Los Angeles as an ally of humanity. His purpose? To use his supernatural powers—which makes him stronger than any human—to aid LAPD detective Chloe Decker solve crimes. One might assume that because he was responsible for multiple deaths when on earth that her police instincts would push her away from a relationship with Lucifer, but she agrees to partner with him anyway because even though she knows what it means to be evil, there’s just something about him…
It’s Not Easy Being the New Girl
A Los Angeles police detective is a fish out of water on Lucifer. In an L.A. club, after witnessing a man’s murder, Detective Chloe Decker (Lauren German) finds herself at Lucifer’s mercy when she is compelled to forget about everything she has seen; he encourages her to embrace life as it comes with no regrets, yet trying to remain impassive proves difficult for her because of his effect on people—namely, making them confess their deepest secrets. His team includes best friend Maze (Lesley-Ann Brandt), LAPD consultant Dr.
Doubt
With Lucifer’s (Tom Ellis) powers suppressed, he finds it difficult to have a professional relationship with Detective Chloe Decker (Lauren German). He attempts to woo her with lines from romantic movies such as Pretty Woman. Her late father was a LAPD officer, and she is a homicide detective. She solves crimes with Lucifer, who takes an interest in her upon noticing that she seems to be immune to his abilities. She refuses his advances on occasion due to personal ethics but eventually admits her attraction after visiting him at his penthouse apartment above Lux. It later turns out that even though she believes herself immune, there are things that can affect her – specifically angel blades.
The Good Doctor
Robert Bianco called Lucifer and Chloe Decker an unlikely pairing, but a good one. TV Fanatic gave it a 5/5. IGN gave it a 7.7/10. Ratings have gone up since episode 2. Its newest episode drew 3 million viewers, which is consistent with earlier ratings for Season 1 of Lucifer. One executive at Fox said that they would be interested in another season if there is strong fan support and if Tom Ellis wants to continue on as Lucifer in season 2 of Lucifer.
Wingman
Lucifer is a charming, intelligent guy. So why doesn’t he have any friends? It may have something to do with his natural talent for persuasion. When a new friend shows up in his life, Lucifer realizes that maybe he hasn’t been entirely honest about who he is. Has he hidden behind a charming mask too long? Maybe it’s time to take off that facade—and let his guard down…
Amenadiel Knows Best
For Lucifer’s angelic brother, Detective Chloe Decker is as off-limits as Lucifer himself. Amenadiel is a warrior angel, and by no means to fall for a mortal…and yet he is captivated by her very essence. He longs to tell her of his true form, but he cannot do so without forcing Lucifer’s hand. So how can an angel woo a detective when that detective can never know of his true form? And what will happen if Lucifer finds out what he’s up to? Especially since it would break one of God’s most important rules about mortals…
All About Eve
Lucifer, on top of being a best-selling author, is also an incredibly talented actor. In fact, he was one of Hollywood’s biggest stars (think Tom Cruise or Johnny Depp). The show doesn’t spend a lot of time delving into Lucifer’s Hollywood career, but it’s probably safe to assume that his best-selling book is his autobiography. In addition to being incredibly skilled at solving crimes, Lucifer appears to be able to fly planes too—so he seems like a pretty well-rounded guy. It will be interesting to see how much his abilities progress as Detective Decker starts learning more about him—and whether he can keep her from interfering with his other jobs (such as solving crimes or writing books).
Sin-Eater
Lucifer is a series that follows Lucifer Morningstar, also known as the Devil, as he assists homicide detective Chloe Decker with solving murders by using his abilities. The series was created by Tom Kapinos, who developed it for television. It premiered on January 25, 2016 on Fox. The show stars Tom Ellis as Lucifer Morningstar and Lauren German as Detective Isabel Chloe Dale.
God Johnson
A small part of me wondered if Lucifer was toying with me. We always want what we can’t have, after all. But I didn’t think so—he was as determined as I was. He kept looking at my mouth. We were both sitting on desks. When he leaned in closer, I stood up, took his hand in mine and led him into an empty interrogation room. The door closed behind us with a click that echoed throughout the room. It felt like a lock snapping into place; there was no going back now. His lips touched mine again and everything else fell away until it was just him and me in our own little world…
Are Tom Ellis and Lauren German friends?
Tom Ellis and Lauren German have been friends for many years before Lucifer. Tom Ellis said in a recent interview that Lauren German is not only one of his closest friends, but she is also like a sister to him. They’ve kept in touch after Lucifer ended its first season, so we can assume they still spend time together when they’re both free! Both actors also belong to a team called Project ALS.
Does Lauren German have a husband?
Yes. Lauren German has been married to Derek Hough, a professional dancer for more than two years. He’s part of Dancing with the Stars, so that gives you an idea of how famous he is in his field. But it was his fame before entering Dancing with the Stars that earned him millions of dollars a year before joining that dance show! Currently, Derek Hough makes $2 million per season on Dancing with the Stars. You might be wondering if Lauren German makes as much money as her husband?
Was Lauren German in supernatural?
Yes, Lucifer is a supernatural television series. The series focuses on Lucifer Morningstar, who resigns from his post as Lord of Hell and becomes a consultant for the Los Angeles Police Department after bored of being in hell. In exchange he has to solve cases for them. He lives with Dr. Linda Martin, with whom he has formed a romantic relationship after saving her from some demon/fallen angel that was trying to kill her while they were still in hell.
Is Chloe Decker the same actress?
They say opposites attract, but what about people who’re totally different from each other? Lucifer Morningstar is one of my favorite fictional characters in TV history. His devilish smile, charming wittiness, snarky comments, and playful attitude are just a few things that make him so loveable.
How rich is Lauren German?
She has accumulated a net worth of $12 million. German made an estimated $150,000 per episode on Lucifer as of 2017, which gave her an annual salary of $1.8 million. Her net worth was acquired from her roles in movies such as Love Actually (2003), The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005), Hellboy (2004) and The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005).
Are Tom Ellis and Lauren German Close?
I would say that yes, Tom Ellis (aka Lucifer) and Lauren German (aka Detective Chloe Decker) are close. I have been watching Lucifer since it first came out on Fox. From episode one I could tell that Lucifer and Detective Chloe Decker would be partners for some time. The way they interacted with each other in episode one was very intriguing to me because I knew that something more was going to come of their relationship. I am looking forward to seeing how they interact with each other in season two of Lucifer as well as if anything else is going to come up between them in addition to their professional interactions!
