Idris Elba returns as John Luther in Luther: The Fallen Sun, which continues the story of the TV show

Idris Elba is reprising his renowned role for the upcoming Netflix movie Luther: The Fallen Sun. The streaming giant announced that it will start on March 10th, and is also slated to be released in some theaters on February 24th.

Those unfamiliar with Luther may not know it was a psychological crime thriller that ran for five seasons between 2010 and 2019, starring Elba in the title role. The film will pick up where the series ended, leaving his character in dire circumstances. The story follows:

A horrific serial killer is wreaking havoc on London, and the brilliant detective John Luther is imprisoned for his failure to apprehend the cyber psychopath who continues to taunt him. Determined to put a stop to the mayhem any way he can, Luther decides to escape from prison and bring down his nemesis.

The movie will feature Cynthia Erivo, Andy Serkis, and Dermot Crowley (who is set to reprise his role as detective Martin Schenk). Unfortunately, Ruth Wilson — who acted alongside Elba in much of the show — won't be present as Alice Morgan.
