Last week, it was announced that Fox has ordered "Lucifer," based on the character introduced in 1989 by Neil Gaiman and Sam Kieth in "The Sandman" before he went on to star in his own long-running series, written by Mike Carey and illustrated by Peter Gross, Ryan Kelly and Dean Ormston.

Today, Fox revealed its complete 2015-16 lineup, and while "Lucifer" is indeed on the schedule, fans waiting to see how the acclaimed comic series translates to television will have to wait until 2016 to find out.

Written by Tom Kapinos ("Californication") and directed by Len Wiseman ("Underworld"), the pilot stars Tom Ellis ("Once Upon a Time," "Doctor Who") as the Lord of Hell who, bored and unhappy, resigns his throne and abandons his kingdom for Los Angeles. There, he gets his kicks helping the police punish criminals.

The series' official logline is:

The Devil has come to Los Angeles...Based upon the characters created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg for DC Entertainment's Vertigo imprint, LUCIFER is the story of the original fallen angel. Bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell, LUCIFER MORNINGSTAR (Tom Ellis, "Merlin") has abandoned his throne and retired to L.A., where he owns Lux, an upscale nightclub. Charming, charismatic and devilishly handsome, Lucifer is enjoying his retirement, indulging in a few of his favorite things - wine, women and song - when a beautiful pop star is brutally murdered outside of Lux. For the first time in roughly 10 billion years, he feels something awaken deep within him as a result of this murder. Compassion? Sympathy? The very thought disturbs him - as well as his best friend and confidante, MAZIKEEN aka MAZE (Lesley-Ann Brandt, "The Librarians"), a fierce demon in the form of a beautiful young woman. The murder attracts the attention of LAPD homicide detective CHLOE DANCER (Lauren German, "Chicago Fire"), who initially is dismissive of Lucifer. But she becomes intrigued by his talent for drawing out people's secrets and his desire to dispense justice, doling out punishment to those who deserve it. As they work together to solve the pop star's murder, Lucifer is struck by Chloe's inherent goodness. Accustomed to dealing with the absolute worst of humanity, Lucifer is intrigued by Chloe's apparent purity and begins to wonder if there's hope for his own soul yet. At the same time, God's emissary, the angel AMENADIEL (DB Woodside, "Suits," "24"), has been sent to Los Angeles to convince Lucifer to return to the underworld...can the Devil incarnate be tempted toward the side of Good, or will his original calling pull him back toward Evil?

Ellis is joined by Lauren German as Det. Chloe Dancer, Rachael Harris as Kim Martin, DB Woodside as Amenadiel, Lesley-Ann Brandt as Maze, Nicholas Gonzalez as Dan and Scarlett Estevez as Trixie.

The project hails from Warner Bros. Television, DC Entertainment and Jerry Bruckheimer Productions. Kapinos and Wiseman will executive produce alongside Bruckheimer, Jonathan Littman and Ildy Modrovich.

Fox also picked up "Minority Report," from Amblin Television, Paramount Television and 20th Century Fox Television, based on the 2002 Steven Spielberg film.
