According to the film’s official synopsis, a gruesome serial killer is terrorizing London while brilliant but disgraced detective John Luther sits behind bars. Haunted by his failure to capture the cyber psychopath who now taunts him, Luther decides to break out of prison to finish the job by any means necessary.

In addition to Elba, the film will also star Cynthia Erivo, Andy Serkis, Jess Liaudin, and Dermot Crowley, reprising his role as Martin Schenk from the original series. The film will be released by Netflix in March 2023, but it still doesn’t have an official release date.

After receiving a BAFTA Special Award on Friday, Elba said to the press, “I’ve maintained I’d like to see it come to a film, and that is where I think we are heading towards—a film. And I’m looking forward to making that happen. It is happening.”

“With film, the sky is the limit. You can be a little bit more bold with the storylines. And a little bit more international, and a little more up the scale. But John Luther is always going to be John Luther,” he continued.

Created by Neil Cross, Luther premiered in 2010. The series ran for five seasons. Elba won two Golden Globes and a Royal Television Society best actor award for his performance of the titular detective.

Elba’s been focusing on directing and writing lately with his production company. But, he made it clear that he doesn’t plan on giving up acting anytime soon, “I love acting—and I’d like to win a BAFTA as an actor one day,” he said.

“Now what? It’s a question Idris and I get asked a lot.” – said Cross in a statement. “What happened to John Luther after we last saw him striding unbowed through the streets of his city, his blood red London? It can’t be over, can it? There’s so much we don’t know. So much unfinished business. The thing is, we’ve been asking ourselves the same question. Because we love John and wonder what he’s up to. And as for me, I’m scared of the monsters. The face at the window. The hand under the bed. The shadow at the end of the street. Who’s going to stop them, if not John Luther? In the end, we picked up the phone to some old friends and asked if they’d like to find out what happens next. It turns out, they would. So that’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to find out what happens next. Now what? Luther’s coming back. That’s what.”

Luther premiered in 2010 and was warmly received by the audience. Three more seasons followed, with Elba getting widespread acclaims for his work and winning Critics’ Choice Television Award, Golden Globe Award, and Screen Actors Guild Award among others. After the UK version received such success, Fox started developing an American TV series version of Luther in 2014, with Cross as a writer and producer and Elba serving as an executive producer. The project has been delayed since, with the network being unable to find the leading actor.
