On top of the Devil's duty as an LAPD consultant, Lucifer almost ran for political office.

During an interview with CBR to discuss his upcoming comic series ShadecraftLucifer's co-showrunner Joe Henderson confirmed that Season 2 almost saw Lucifer running for local office. "Yeah, this was early on in Season 2," he said. "One of our stories was going to be around Lucifer running for a local office in L.A."

Henderson shared that the decision to scrap the storyline was ultimately due to its timing. "This was early on in the Trump of it all," he clarified. "And Warner Brothers said, 'Hey, you know, the tensions are starting to get a bit much politically, but also, everything that's happening in politics right now is so crazy. I don't know if you'll be able to beat it by the time this airs.' And we're like, 'Oh, come on, how crazy can it get?'"

He added, "By the time our episode would have aired, every idea we had paled in comparison to reality. It was never about trying to stay out of politics with the show, it was more like whatever Lucifer does will feel like nothing in comparison to reality. The absurd just became normal. But, it's a story that will always exist in our writers' brains."
