Idris Elba will officially reprise his role as the brilliant detective John Luther for a “Luther” film sequel at Netflix.

Elba will be joined by Ruth Wilson and Dermot Crowley. "Luther" veteran Jamie Payne, who directed episodes of the series as well as the first film "Luther: The Fallen Sun", is set to direct.

"Neil has yet again, created a wonderfully dark tale to bring us all back together. It’s a true joy to be back on the streets of Lutherland with the supreme talents that are Idris Elba and Dermot Crowley," Payne said in a statement. "I am also thrilled to be reunited with the brilliant and dangerous Alice Morgan played by the extraordinarily talented Ruth Wilson. Fans new and old are in for a treat!"

Movie synopsis: "In this chapter, Luther is secretly called back into service when a new wave of brutal, seemingly random murders hits London. But how can he save London when everyone on all sides seems to want him dead?"

"Luther" first aired in 2010 and ran intermittently for five seasons. Wilson, who didn't appear in the movie "The Fallen Sun", will return as serial killer/scientist Alice Morgan. Crowley is reprising his role as police superintendent Martin Schenk.
