‘Is Luther based on a book?’ might be the question on your mind as the Luther: The Fallen Sun gets us talking about the complex character and re-watching the original BBC drama.
Whether it’s wondering why Luther is in prison to whether Alice died in Luther the TV show, this is a gritty franchise that constantly captures people’s imaginations and sparks intriguing questions. The return of Idris Elba as DCI John Luther in the new Luther: The Fallen Sun movie has been met with excitement from many and came four years after season 4 of the BBC drama came to an end. The movie’s ending also left room for speculation about another film to take Luther’s story further and with so many recent hits inspired by novels it’s also all-too-easy to wonder if the brilliantly crafted plots and characters in the Luther TV series and movie are as well.
