Season 4 of "Luther" was just two episodes long and aired all the way back in 2015, and now BBC America has announced that it will return for a fifth season.

Season 5 will be five episodes and will start production early next year.



Elba, who has won a Golden Globe, a SAG Award and a Critic's Choice Award for his portrayal of Detective Chief Inspector John Luther, said in a statement that he's excited that he, creator Neil Cross and the BBC are back in business together.

"I look forward to putting the coat back on," he said.



Cross said that he and his compatriots ask themselves "now what?" just as much as fans do.

"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 Luther: The Fallen Sun — an epic continuation of the award-winning television saga reimagined for film — a gruesome serial killer is terrorizing London while brilliant but disgraced detective John Luther (Idris Elba) 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.


The film also stars Cynthia Erivo, Andy Serkis and Dermot Crowley, who returns as Martin Schenk.
