In a press release this morning, the BBC announced that Idris Elba, who starred in The Wire, will play the character of John Luther, a near-genius murder detective whose brilliant mind can't always save him from the dangerous violence of his passions, in a new 6-part series commissioned by the network from crime novelist Neil Cross titled Luther.
Each episode of Luther is described as an exciting and fast-moving story, with the murderer's identity is known from the start – focussing the drama on the psychic duel between hunter and quarry, who sometimes have more in common than either would like to think.
"I'm delighted that BBC One is bringing Luther to life," creator Cross says, who was also a writer on the series Spooks (released in the US as MI-5). "It's an intense psychological thriller which examines not only human depravity but the complex nature of love and how it's often this – our finest attribute – that leads us into darkness."
