Netflix has confirmed that a new Luther feature film is in the works, reuniting Idris Elba with the 'dangerous' Alice Morgan, played by Ruth Wilson. The film will serve as a sequel to 2023's Luther: The Fallen Sun, with director Jamie Payne and writer Neil Cross returning.
Cross expressed his delight at Wilson's return, telling Tudum: 'Luther, Alice, and Schenk are more than characters to me - they're family. I never stop wondering where they are, what's become of them ... and what horrors might be stirring in the shadows of London while Luther's not around. So we decided to get together and find out what happens next.'
The plot centres on a savage, apparently indiscriminate spate of killings across London, with Luther quietly brought back into action. His mission is complicated by the fact that virtually everyone appears intent on killing him. Payne called it 'a wonderfully dark tale' and said it was a 'true joy to be back'. He added: 'I am also thrilled to be reunited with the brilliant and dangerous Alice Morgan, played by the extraordinarily talented Ruth Wilson. Fans new and old are in for a treat!'
Dermot Crowley will also reprise his role as Martin Schenk. Following the announcement on Netflix's official X account, fans shared their enthusiasm, with one commenting: 'Idris, Ruth and Dermot reunited? Take my night, my weekend, my soul.'
