Titled Luther: The Fallen Sun, the film will, unsurprisingly to fans, follow “a gruesome serial killer” who is “terrorising London”.
Luther, who is in prison, is still haunted by his failure to capture the cyber psychopath who now taunts him and “decides to break out of prison to finish the job by any means necessary”.
This journey will seemingly take Luther to a snowy mountain range, with one image showing the character in a rather different location than viewers are used to seeing him.
The film will star Cynthia Erivo and Andy Serkis, with Dermot Crowley returning as Martin Schenk.
Luther: The Fallen Sun will be released on Netflix in March 2023.
