Greetings, Programs!
The BBC has announced that the next installment of Luther will be part of the so-called “Festive Period”.
Since it was announced that the “Festive” episode of Doctor Who will be shown on New Year’s Day instead of Christmas Day, the BBC has more treats for us instead.
Other items to look out for include: Agatha Christie’s The ABC Murders, a new interpretation of Richard Adams’ Watership Down, and a six-part adaptation of Les Miserables with Dominic West.
Although the BBC has not provided the actual dates for the four-part series, I suspect that information should leak very soon.
BBC America will not show this until 2019.
The BBC Press release:
When the moonless shadows of London give birth to a new nightmare, DCI John Luther played by Idris Elba is once more called to immerse himself in the deepest depths of human depravity.
While the monstrous and seemingly indiscriminate killings become ever more audacious and public, Luther and new recruit D.S. Catherine Halliday played by Wunmi Mosaku are confounded by a complex tangle of leads and misdirection that seems designed to protect an untouchable corruption. But even as the case brings him closer than ever to the true face of evil, a reluctant Luther is forced to confront the unburied demons of his own recent past. Striding back into the line of fire, he must choose who to protect and who to sacrifice.
Whatever his next move, it will have devastating consequences for those around him — and change John Luther forever.
As for what’s next, Idris disclosed the following to Empire Magazine:
“This season is not the end. But there are some real changes that will happen.”
There is the possibility that they may start making feature films with this character.
Now I have to get caught up on the show, I have only watched the brilliant first season/series thus far.
What did you think of the trailer? Sound off below!
