Idris Elba has suggested that Luther Season 5 would be another bite-sized run.
Speaking to Digital Spy, the actor hinted that potential future installments of the detective drama would follow the extremely short-run format of Season 4:
“It’s really tough to sustain that sort of angst. You’d have to dilute it to make it work, and honestly I think you’d get bored of ‘story of the week’ type drama in a show like this.
I think the smaller bite-sizes are better and more impactful. There’s no reason why we couldn’t do another 6-parter, but I suspect that would be the end of me!”
While a fifth season has yet to be officially announced, Elba confirms that Luther could also head to the big screen:
“We would love to get a film off the ground, but it takes time. It’s really about when Neil and I are ready to pull that off.
