Know about Neil Gaiman's cameo in 'Lucifer'

In 2018, Neil Gaiman made a brief cameo in one of the bonus episodes of Lucifer Season 3. While Neil didn't physically make a cameo in the bonus episode, he lent his voice for the voiceover of God. The voice of God in that episode was provided by Gaiman, whose version of Lucifer in Sandman provided the basis for the show. The bonus show was titled 'Once Upon a Time' and marked the 23rd episode of the third season of Lucifer.

During an interview with ComicBook.com, back in 2018, executive producer Joe Henderson opened up about the decision of approaching Gaiman to lend his voice for the God's voiceover. He revealed that he grew up on Sandman so because of the show he got the opportunity to mail the author once or twice a year. He added that when he pitched the idea of Once Upon a Time, he had it in mind that the narrator would be Neil Gaiman. He also shared that he loved his audiobooks and during the time they were developing the episode, he had Gaiman's voice in his mind.
