We were teased for year with the prospect of a television adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s DC/Vertigo Comics series Sandman, but that eventually turned into plans for a big screen adaptation. Now, a character from the Sandman universe will be making its way to the small screen from Warner Bros. TV and FOX for DC Entertainment.

FOX has committed to producing a “put pilot” for Lucifer, DC/Vertigo’s Sandman spin-off comic book series written by Mike Carey (Unwritten, Hellblazer), according to Deadline. Tom Kapinos, creator/executive producer for Californication, along with Warner Bros. TV — the company behind all the DC universe television projects (including the upcoming Batman prequel series Gotham) — are behind the pilot.
