Ever since BBC’s hit series Luther wrapped up after its fifth season in 2019, fans of the show have been calling for more. Now, their prayers have been answered, as Netflix has confirmed the popular detective is getting his own film, which lands on the streaming platform next year.
Hollywood star Idris Elba teased fans on social media earlier this month with a post confirming the character's return, and now Netflix has revealed more titillating details about the upcoming production – as well as some first-look snaps. The streaming giant has promised the spin-off will be a “gritty [and] epic continuation of the award-winning television saga.”
Speaking to LadBible in September, Elba revealed the filming had wrapped, and said the cast and crew were “really proud of it.” He added: “The world of Luther as a television show and film is similar, but the film has [huge] scale.
