The BBC has announced that series creator Neil Cross and star Idris Elba will return for a fifth series of the hit show Luther. The new, four-part limited-series will be written by Cross with filming set to start early next year.
Elba said:
“Neil, the BBC and I have been talking about a further season and I am thrilled that we have been able to bring it all together. I look forward to putting the coat back on.”
First premiering in 2010, Luther stars Elba as the titular obsessive detective and has seen him gain a Golden Globe award, a Screen Actors Guild award, an NAACP Image Award, a Critics’ Choice Award, and four Emmy nominations.
