Idris Elba Escapes Prison in Netflix's New 'Luther: The Fallen Sun' Trailer

Calling all "Luther" fans, the countdown has officially begun for the return of Idris Elba to our screens. On February 9, Netflix released the trailer for the upcoming film, which is a sequel to the hit BBC drama, and it looks like we're in for one hell of a ride. "Luther: The Fallen Sun" sees Luther, played by Elba, escape from prison to capture a cyberpsychopath who is terrorizing London, but in his typical form, the magnitude of the task becomes his obsession.

It's been four years since we've seen tough DCI John Luther, but it won't be long before we get our fix of crime drama. The film will premiere in select theaters on February 24, before hitting the streaming platform on March 10.

The BBC show first aired in 2010 and ran for five seasons, with Elba playing the role of a brutal detective. His work always came first, often to the detriment of his personal life. The series quickly became a huge hit, so it's no wonder a movie was greenlit, especially since the series' ending was shrouded in mystery.

For those who need a quick "Luther" refresher, the series ended with a heated confrontation between Luther and Alice (played by Ruth Wilson) - a serial killer and his occasional romantic interest. Alice had already been presumed dead but returned to the show to cause the detective more trouble. At the end of the series, she seemingly met her end again, though her lifeless body soon vanished. Luther then found himself arrested, leaving viewers in the dark as to what happened next.

Elba, who is married to Sabrina, won a Golden Globe for her stellar performance as Luther in 2012 and has since starred in such films as 'Suicide Squad', 'Beast' and the 'Avengers' movies. as well as regularly performing as a DJ. His name has also popped up in several conversations about Daniel Craig's replacement as James Bond, although nothing has been confirmed.
