Premise

Devil May Care introduces a version of Hell where it is not populated by evil, but by anything in the universe God thought was too annoying to spend eternity with in Heaven. Devil has no idea of that true purpose of Hell, and thinks he's just supposed to make the place run smoothly. He's gentrified Hell and tries to keep people happy. Enter Beans, a young social media manager, who is assigned to be Devil's assistant. Devil is thrilled to introduce social media to Hell and puts Beans to work. The show is about Beans settling into Hell, Devil trying to make Hell awesome, and both of them juggling their personal lives with work. [2]
