If you’re looking to for your next obsession that will give you Lucifer vibes, TV Guide has put together a list of shows like Lucifer. Shows featuring supernatural cops, hunky Welshmen, timeless romances, and at least one other based on a Neil Gaiman property to help you get your fix while you learn how to live in a world without new episodes of Lucifer.
Supernatural
There’s bound to be a lot of overlap between fans of Lucifer and fans of Supernatural, which ran for 15 seasons on The WB and The CW, as both were supernatural procedurals on broadcast networks that mixed horror and humor.
But if you somehow missed out on the phenomenon that is Supernatural, I have some good news: You have 320 episodes to keep you busy. Created by The Boys‘ Eric Kripke, Supernatural follows Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) Winchester, brothers who investigate unusual activity across the U.S. while also confronting larger issues, like an impending apocalypse orchestrated by — you guessed it — Lucifer, played in this case by Mark Pellegrino. With plenty of Biblical references and lore, especially in the early seasons, you’ll see another take on one of history’s most dysfunctional families.
Just be warned: The romance you love from Lucifer isn’t a big part of Supernatural, as the cult-favorite spends more time on its bromance between the two siblings.
Supernatural is available to stream on Netflix
Forever
You’re going to see a lot of good-looking men with some sort of power solving crimes on this list, but of those, the show most like the bones of Lucifer is probably this cult favorite series that aired on ABC from 2014-2015. The handsome man in question here is another Welsh actor from across the Atlantic, Ioan Gruffudd, and the power in this case is immortality.
Gruffudd’s Dr. Henry Morgan works as a medical examiner with NYPD detective Jo Martinez (Alana de la Garza), using his life experience — and it’s a lot of experience considering he’s over two centuries old — to help crack cases and study the dead to solve the mystery of his immortality. There’s less overt romance between mismatched partners in Forever than there is in Lucifer, but it’s smoldering underneath, and by the time the Season 1 finale rolls around, you’ll be dying for the two to finally hook up. The only problem? Forever only lasted one season, so you’ll have to hit fan fiction sites to see what would have happened next.
Forever is available to stream on CW Seed
Constantine
If you’re a fan of the supernatural craziness of Lucifer — and who isn’t? — then throw on this short-lived NBC series that also blends bizarre procedural cases with a dark sense of humor. The character Constantine — a detective who investigates the occult — actually shares a history with the Devil we all know and love. As they’re both from the DC Comics universe.
In fact, the two even met up in The CW’s most recent annual crossover event when Constantine (Matt Ryan) sought help from Tom Ellis‘ Lucifer on an alternate Earth, establishing the fact that they’ve previously met and are ripe for their own crossover event on Netflix. (Make it happen, Netflix!) As for Constantine itself, expect more of a straight procedural… well, a straight procedural with demons, angels, nuns, and mysterious entities. But like Forever, it only ran for one season.
Constantine is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video
Good Omens
Tom Ellis’ charm and charisma can hardly be matched, but there is one other citizen of the great abyss out there who gives him a run for his money: David Tennant. He plays the demon Crowley. A representative of hell since the creation of Earth, in this adaptation of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s beloved book. He may just be one of the best demonic fiends to ever grace your TV.
Following the unlikely lifelong friendship between Crowley and his heavenly counterpart Aziraphale (Michael Sheen), an angel, Good Omens combines a sharp sense of humor with a potential apocalypse in Gaiman’s trademark wink-and-a-nod style. And at just six episodes long, you’ll be done with this miniseries in no time.
Good Omens is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video
Angel
Well, you watched a show called Lucifer, so you may as well try out a show called Angel. But Angel (David Boreanaz) ain’t from up above; he’s a vampire whose human soul was restored to him. Leaving him with a guilty conscience that he cleanses by serving as a private investigator in Los Angeles to help the helpless. So the motivation may be different from Lucifer, but the game is the same. The Buffy the Vampire Slayer spin-off also resembles Lucifer in that while Angel is helping human in his day job, he’s battling supernatural forces in his off hours.
Angel is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video
