BBC’s favourite grizzled detective DCI John Luther is getting his first feature-length outing, and its coming to Netflix. More than four years since its final season, Luther is back, and fans don’t have long to wait, because Luther: The Fallen Sun is just around the corner.
Billed as “an epic continuation of the award-winning television saga,” The Fallen Sun sees the return of Idris Elba in the titular role following the dramatic conclusion of the show’s fifth and final season. Running from 2010 to 2019, the gritty crime-drama proved a big hit for the BBC, with Elba praised for perhaps his most iconic role since his scene-stealing turn as Stringer Bell in The Wire.
The final season of Luther wrapped up with the detective sent to jail after years of playing fast and loose with the law. Now a new villain is on the scene, and Luther is determined to hunt him down.
