Satan’s a proud Girl Dad in the newest FX animated series Little Demon. Rick and Morty co-creator Dan Harmon joined forces with executive producer Danny DeVito to bring the story of the devil and his daughter to life. 

"It’s a great opportunity to play a demonic character. I never get to do that," DeVito told an audience at the show’s San Diego Comic-Con panel. "I think you’re gonna find that in the show Satan is really a good guy. The guy was deprived of his spawn — who is a girl — but of course, I thought it was gonna be a boy. But the future is female."
