We’ve now just a few weeks away from the highly anticipated return of Idris Elba’s Luther, and while the rough around the edges detective is only going to be showing up for two episodes this time, it’s still thought that the plan is to launch a movie down the line.
That makes his brief reappearance a little easier to accept, and based on this new poster and teaser trailer, the return of Luther is well worth getting excited over no matter how brief.
“Luther’s back,” reads the synopsis for the fourth series. “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.”
Series four of Luther was written by creator Neil Cross and will be directed by Sam Miller (No Good Deed). Along with Idris Elba, the two-part special stars Rose Leslie (Game of Thrones), Laura Haddock (Guardians of the Galaxy), Darren Boyd (Fortitude), John Heffernan (Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell) and Patrick Malahide (Game of Thrones), with Michael Smiley and Dermot Crowley returning as Benny Silver and DSU Martin Schenk respectively.
This teaser may be brief, but it nicely sets the stage for Luther’s return next month…
