Elba has teased the show’s return promising a “classic” return to form by assuring fans: “We’re not reinventing the wheel.”
The trailer for the forthcoming fifth series of Luther has been released ahead of its premiere this Christmas.
It was announced in June 2017 that series co-creator Neil Cross had signed up Idris Elba to return as the grizzled detective for four brand new episodes of the crime series following its apparent “climax” in 2015.
But sure enough, DCI Luther is back in a trailer that’s capped with a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo from none other than Ruth Wilson’s fan favourite, Alice Morgan, which you can watch below.
