Luther season 5 trailer

Luther Season 5 Trailer Promises To Play Dirty

The first trailer for Luther season five is here, and it finds Detective John Luther (Idris Elba) once again trying to solve a series of grisly murders that appear random at first, only to realize there’s a deadly pattern emerging. As Luther gets closer to the truth, his unconventional methods run the risk of alienating everyone who’s on his side. Meanwhile, his past will come back to haunt him, as his longtime nemesis Alice (Ruth Wilson) makes a very brief appearance near the end. You can check out the trailer in the post below!

Of the return, 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.”

The latest four-part limited-series will be written by creator Neil Cross (Hard Sun). He further elaborated on the process of the series returning, saying:

“Now what? It’s a question Idris and I get asked a lot. 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.”

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.

Luther season five will air on the BBC sometime in 2019.
