Idris Elba is Back at Work on a ‘Luther’ Two-Part Special

Idris Elba's Back as Luther in a Two Part Special

Idris Elba’s keeping busy with feature films including Finding Dory, The Jungle Book, Bastille Day, Avengers: Age of Ultron, A Hundred Streets, Beasts of No Nation, and The Gunman, but he still has time to reprise his role as DCI John Luther in a two-part Luther special. BBC America reports Elba has just started filming the new Luther special in London and they’re showing off the above photo to prove he’s back at work.

Created by Neil Cross and directed by Sam Miller, the Luther special also features Game of ThronesRose Leslie, Laura Haddock, Darren Boyd, John Heffernan, and Patrick Malahide. And Dermot Crowley and Michael Smiley will be back as DSU Martin Schenk and Benny Silver.

“It’s very exciting to have Idris Elba back as DCI John Luther and to be in East London shooting the show’s fourth installment,” said executive producer Elizabeth Kilgarriff. “Neil Cross has pulled out all the stops to make this the biggest, scariest story yet and it’s a privilege to welcome such a glittering array of acting talent to our already stellar cast.”

The Plot:

Luther’s back. Pitted against his most chilling adversary yet, haunted by the ghosts of his past and hell-bent on retribution, he’s drawn into a terrifyingly complex case that pushes him closer to the edge than he’s ever been.
