The trailer for the highly anticipated third of season of the BBC drama, Luther surfaced online. The popular series starring Idris Elba returns in early September – and for rabid fans, not a moment too soon!
For the uniformed, Elba returns to his Golden Globe winning role as John Luther with two conflicting crimes to investigate and a ruthless ex-cop determined to bring him down. Luther’s life is his job, that is until love crosses his path and offers him a chance of happiness. Sienna Guillory (Resident Evil, Love Actually) joins the cast as Mary, a woman who works in a vintage clothing shop and meets Luther in a chance encounter.

But is Mary ready to accept Luther’s past? And can Luther leave it behind? A self-destructive near-genius, John Luther might just be as dangerous as the depraved criminals he hunts. Luther shines a light into the hearts and minds of psychopaths and killers … and the shadowy spaces of his own soul.
Luther, created by Neil Cross and executive produced by Phillippa Giles, returns to BBC One in July, and BBC America on September 3, at 10pm/9c, as part of its Dramaville hour, airing on 4 successive nights – September 3, 4, 5 & 6.
