Amazon Prime Instant Video has struck a deal to stream Fox's "Lucifer" to the UK shortly after episodes air in the United States. As part of the announcement, the company has debuted a trailer featuring all-new footage from the supernatural drama, which is loosely based on the Vertigo comic of the same name.

The deal comes on the heels of a similar one struck with AMC for "Into the Badlands," the cable network's soon-to-debut martial arts action drama. Previous deals of a similar nature were made for NBC's "Constantine" and CBS's "Extant."

Written by Tom Kapinos ("Californication") and directed by Len Wiseman ("Underworld"), "Lucifer" 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.

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. While Kapinos developed the project, based on the Vertigo series written by Mike Carey and illustrated by Peter Gross, Ryan Kelly and Dean Ormston, Deadline reported that "White Collar" and "Almost Human" Co-Executive Producer Joe Henderson will serve as showrunner for the series.

"Lucifer" will debut on Fox in 2016.
