GOING SOUTH: LUCIFER & LEGION Leaving Vancouver to Film in Los Angeles With $28 Million in California Tax Incentives

Going South.

FOX’s Devil-leaves-Hell-for-LA Lucifer and FX’s head-tripping Marvel series Legion are both moving production from Vancouver to Los Angeles.

Lucifer — with Tom Ellis as the charming Devil —  is about the Lord of Hell decamping from boring, old Hell to a more exciting life in L.A.

The California Film Commission announced today that Lucifer will get almost $17 million in tax incentives to relocate its third season to L.A.and  Legion will get $11 million to relocate its second season to L.A., out of almost $100 million available, according to Deadline Hollywood.

The news about Lucifer broke a few weeks ago.

Other characters: Lesley-Ann Brandt as Lucifer devotee Maze; D.B. Woodside as Lucifer’s brother Amendiel; Kevin Alejandro as L.A.P.D. detective and Chloe’s ex; and scene stealer Rachael Harris as his therapist.

In season 2, Lucifer’s Mom Charlotte (Tricia Helfer) escaped Hell, found a hot new body as her vessel and plagued her son and his  brother Amenadiel (DB Woodside) .  “We were on a search for someone who could make her sons as uncomfortable as possible. I think we succeeded here,” one of the producers told the TCA summer press tour.

Legion in Vancouver.

Legion, which takes place mostly in David’s mind, filmed its 8-episode first season in metro Vancouver last year. I saw a key sequence for the premiere filmed on the Main Mall at the  University of British Columbia campus with Dan Stevens on set.
