It’s been a few years since British detective series Luther wrapped, but lucky for us, Idris Elba has returned to play the title character, detective chief inspector John Luther, for an epic new adventure. Luther, now disgraced and sitting behind bars, is still determined to solve one last case involving a dangerous serial killer. Will he be able to break out of prison to capture the killer, or will he dare to escape and become a fugitive himself?
