Next Luther Movie At Netflix Adds Kyle Soller, Anya Chalotra, Niamh Algar And More To Cast
Watch out — Luther's about! And not only is Idris Elba's no-rules, no-nonsense detective John Luther coming back back back for a new Luther movie at Netflix, nor only is he returning alongside everybody's favourite femme fatale Alice Morgan (aka Ruth Wilson) and Dermot Crowley's superintendent Schenk, but they're bringing some exciting new faces with them. Per Deadline's reporting, the latest cinematic instalment in Neil Cross' twisted, gritty, London-based crime saga has added Andor MVP Kyle Soller, The Witcher's Anya Chalotra, Censor star Niamh Algar, Stephen Dillane (The Outrun), and OG Professor Quirrell himself, Ian Hart, to its line-up.
Due to start shooting this month, director Jamie Payne and writer Cross' follow-up to 2023's Luther: The Fallen Sun — itself a continuation of the crimson-tied crimefighter's five-season TV run — is keeping its new cohort's character details firmly under wraps for the time being. As for the plot of the movie however, the brief synopsis we've already been given promises more nightmare fuel is heading our way when Luther (Loofahhhhhh!) returns, reading: "The new story sees a new wave of brutal, seemingly random murders hit London, with Luther secretly called back into service. But the dramatic question is, how can Luther save London when everyone on all sides seems to want him dead?" So it's Luther doing Luther things, then — which suits us just fine.
We don't know just yet when we can expect the latest Luther film to hit our screens, or indeed who will be John's friends, foes, frenemies, or poorly chosen lover(s) this time around. We do however know that after seeing Big 'Dris back in Hijack action recently and Wilson's jaunt Down Cemetery Road late last year, the prospect of the duo reuniting, joined by a whole host of brilliantly talented new visitors to Lutherland, has both our curiosity and our attention. Bring it on!
