Luther

Starring the brilliant Idris Elba and created by Neil Cross, LUTHER has quickly become one of the most popular, contemporary crime-thriller television series and now it looks like it will be getting the Hollywood treatment!

According to Variety, Fox have snapped up the concept for an American remake, with Cross to assist and Elba as an executive producer.

Elba has received great praise for his work as the intense detective, who’s still troubled from the brutal murder of his wife. Over in the UK we’ve had three season since 2010 over at the BBC and the original series is widely available over in the US. 

Cross has revealed that there are no plans for a fourth season of the UK hit, but there are whispers of a Luther feature film circulating. 

This news follows from other remakes that the US have produced from popular British TV shows like BROADCHURCH and GRACEPOINT. Despite these shows being met with low ratings and criticism, it seems Fox isn’t worried and have seemingly learnt from their mistakes. 

We’ll just have to wait and see how this one pans out…
