Luther: The Fallen Sun Trailer Teases Idris Elba vs. Andy Serkis Showdown

Netflix has released the official trailer for Luther: The Fallen Sun, the upcoming sequel movie to BBC’s hit British crime thriller.

The video features Idris Elba’s John Luther as he escapes prison to hunt down Andy Serkis’ notorious serial killer, who’s been terrorizing London. The film will arrive in select theaters on February 24, which will be followed by its streaming debut on March 10.

Check out the Luther: The Fallen Sun trailer below:

“In the epic continuation of the award-winning television saga reimagined for film — a gruesome serial killer is terrorizing London while brilliant but disgraced detective John Luther (Idris Elba) sits behind bars,” reads the synopsis. “Haunted by his failure to capture the cyber psychopath who now taunts him, Luther decides to break out of prison to finish the job by any means necessary.”

Luther: The Fallen Sun is directed by Emmy nominee Jamie Payne from a screenplay written by series creator Neil Cross. Joining Elba are new cast members Cynthia Erivo, Andy Serkis, and Jess Liaudin, with Dermot Crowley also reprising his role as Martin Schenk.

It is produced by Cross, Elba, Peter Chernin, David Ready, and Jenno Topping. Executive producers are Kris Thykier, Priscilla Paris, Brendan Ferguson, Miki Emmrich, and Dan Finlay.
