For a minute my brain was like “Why isn’t Michael there to read his lines?” 😂 That just goes to show how brilliant Tom is as an actor! Thank you for sharing.

I never realised how much awkward silence there is in acting

This is why stage acting is so hard y’all. Notice how awkward it is without music and angles. Stage actors have to do scenes like this without all that’

Love how Tom puts ALL of his passion into his performance...even if it's only a rehearsal

Kudos to the michael stand in, he did a great job

Okay Tom is beyond brilliant look at how he’s reading the lines the exact same as he did in the scene itself😍

It’s BTS like this make us truly realize how much hard work was put into the show, a lot of people working endless hours. Thank you for sharing it Joe, and thank you to the whole cast and crew. You bring so much joy and emotions to so many people.

WHY THIS IS SO FUN TO WATCH WTF

Small detail i like at 9:17(pay attention to Tom) despite that they are not eating any food, they actually do mumbling noises as if they are talking with food in their mouth at the same time

Every table read... we need every table read! This could be the continuation we all desire. It's incredibly brilliant and how do the actors keep it together with people staring at every move you make? This was intense!

This is so cool. The Michael stand-in actually sounds just like him.

I love that Tom says “La la la…” when he gets to the end of his page and needs to turn it before carrying on. 😂❤️

fantastic directing. really appreciate directors who are laid back and relaxed like this, and *talk* to their actors rather than barking at them. major props.

This was so much fun to watch. Thank you so much for sharing!

Linda’s actor trying to help Tom through his lines is iconic

Videos like this make us appreciate all the hardwork actors put into perfecting and delivering their products

This was awesome. Fun to see the rehearsal and then the final result. Tom's "fuck-all" had me laughing out loud 🤣

THE BEST 16 MINUTES AND 17 SECONDS OF MY LIFE

Wow, what a treat. I could watch these rehearsals all day. Of course, Tom seems effortlessly commanding, but I think Rachel Harris lights up the scene; her comic timing is perfect.

Think of me as a "we want more of these videos" Button 😂PLEASE JOE

DB Woodside actually choked on the wine.

Seeing this actually in the show makes you realise what they have to do to get it right.

I love that they just have bowls with whole lemons and limes

This is absolutely brilliant!! Shows how incredibly talented the cast is!

Dennis read his lines so effortlessly. What a joy to watch. please post more

THIS EVIDENCE SHOWS THE EFFORT AND COMMINTMENT THE CAST PUT IN, MAKE IT ALL SEEM REAL! THE CAST IT'S REALLY FOCUSED! THAT''S WHY SO MANY PEOPLE LIKE THE SHOW!😀😀😀😀😀😀

God may not be able to tell his CHILDREN he loves them, but I sure as hell (pun intended) love, love, love to watch this rehearsal clip. Joe, thanks so much for sharing this and giving us a BTS clip you don't get to see every day :)

It's really awesome. I am addicted by tom acting. ❤❤

its kinda eerie how similar the stand in and tom as michael sound

So much power in just a rehearsal, wow, thank you so much for sharing Joe!

But this is a rehearsal, isn’t it? It isn’t a read table. Anyway, I like to watch it. I’ve never know how this job is done, really it’s an amazing and interesting thing. Only can say: thanks for so beautiful series and thanks for your generosity in allowing us to see and enjoy BTS and everything about the show.

Thank you so much, Joe Henderson. This was just terrific. Table reads are are amazing to watch. I thoroughly enjoyed the Pilot Table Read. But seeing the cast actually on set doing the table read, or rehearsal, is another level. Such a considerate, lovely gift to give the fans of this amazing show. Again, thanks so much!

Oh wow, that was SO intense to watch! You really get how great these actors (also the Michael-stand-in!) are, totally conveying all the tension and emotions of that scene, even without any close-ups, different camera angles, special lighting... and of course super interesting to see how such a rehearsal is done, the directorial input and different suggestions. Thanks a lot Joe for writing this amazing scene and posting this great insight on how it came to be 👏👏❤

That was brilliant, a good insight to just how much work goes into getting all the little nuances right. Thanks Joe, for sharing with us Lucifans. 😈

I wasn’t paying attention and thought Michael was Tom Ellis here lol

michael you cant trick us by impersonating tom as lucifer lol

This was absolutely awesome. Thanks Joe and what a fantastic group of actors they are.

Thank you so much for sharing this with us Joe! Having the opportunity to take a look behind the scenes like this makes us very happy

OMD....Lucifer is wearing a TURTLENECK??????

This is so cool Joe!! Thank you so much for sharing!! The way Tom dragged the chair, both here and in the actual scene, was hilarious!

Love this Joe! Thank you so much!

I NEED more of this in my life...like, much more! You guys have golden footage and we wouldn't complaint if you would share as much as you want!!! LOVED IT!

Thanks for sharing, it’s always a pleasure to see how much work there’s behind the scenes ♥️

Thank you, Joe, for sharing this with the fans. It is really fun and educational to watch these great actors block out this amazing scene. I love how Tom knew what and when Michael was supposed to speak. So hope you release more footage like this.

Thank you for sharing, Joe. This was so fun to watch!

thank you so much for this joe!!

This is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing!

oh god - thank you so very much for sharing this treasure!

Thanks for thisss Joe❤

Now this is cool. More of these please! Glad to see this one in particular bc whatever interview I heard wheee the Lucifer stand-in's acting chops were praised. Good to see a bit of his work.

Thank you so much Joe!!❤

That was so awesome to watch, it is amazing to see what every actors goes through and just how much work goes into one scene. Loved watching Tom.

Thank you so much, Joe! You made my day! Thanks for sharing it. I'm very grateful❤❤

That was so good. Thank you for sharing this amazing behind the scenes footage. It’s fascinating!!

Thank you so much Joe!!!!!!!

This is so interesting, thank you so much for sharing this with us! I always thought there is just a read through in the writers room and then right off to shooting in full costume and everything. I love how everybody can give their input to the scene!

This is an absolute TREAT to watch. Such respect for everyone involved in this production. Thank you 💜💜💜

This is brilliant!! Thanks Joe

Thank you so much for sharing these videos, you all did a fantastic job on the show and I'm going to be really 💔 heartbroken when season 6 airs and comes to an end. I have only just found Lucifer after my son said I should really watch it and see what I think. I was hooked from the pilot onwards and binge watched the entire 5 seasons in I think 2 weeks 😍. I only ever buy box sets to things I can let go off and in so proud to say I have all the boxsets available for Lucifer just now. Loving the extra scenes and bonus features.

Okay Lucifans - remember how we brought Lucifer back to life after Season 3? Well how about a similar campaign to release an awesome selection of BTS footage like this. Netflix - are you listening? Thanks Joe, hope we get more of these.

This is amazing Joe, thank you for sharing this ❤ we wouldn't say no to anymore you might have saved somewhere 😁😁

Sooo brilliant, thanks for sharing! Sooo awesome to see the process, and watch these amazing masters of their craft working BTS. Quite inspirational, love it!

I did drama rehearsals like this before and man do i sometimes miss them. its not a rehearsal with the awkward energy

This was a great table read! This is what makes this show so awesome and successful! Great actors and actresses!

yessssss! thank you Joe ❤️

tom is incredible, please, share more of these table read because they are awesome!!! (ofc if you have something) All the cast is incredibly talented!!

Thank you for sharing this Joe!

Thank you for sharing this. It was fun to watch and how the scene developed.

As a very green script supervisor, this vid is really helpful for practicing continuity notations 🤣 Thank you!

Thanks this made my day 😍

Muchas gracias por compartir esto con nosotros

For a short second I wondered why Michael wasn’t there, then I clocked.

I could never do this in a million years i give these actors some much credit because alot of it is comedy.

Tom you've got the Michael hunch in your shoulders.

This scene was amazing, I always forget the amount of time that goes into each and every bit of a show. All these people did such amazing work!

No way I still feel how tense it is even if its just a rehearsal

This is so cool, watching them is amazing pls post one with lauren 😭🥺

I am gonna go and watch this scene again...

Love it! It’s not easy work getting lines on point, thank for sharing this moment! Can we have another? 😈
