‘Luther’ season 4, episode 2 preview: The conclusion of Idris Elba’s latest journey
If you are enjoying “Luther” on Tuesday in the United Kingdom, we come bearing good and bad news. The good news is that you are getting to see the first part of the series earlier than your American counterparts. Unfortunately, the bad news here is that it is ending for you after the series airs on BBC America. It is not often that a British series actually gets a chance to run completely on another network in the States first, but that is what happening with the show airing as one extended TV movie Thursday.
“Luther” will return to the BBC in the UK on Tuesday, and we’ve got some of the first details about what lies ahead below:
“On the trail of a horrifying cannibalistic killer, Luther is dogged at every step by ghosts from his past. Isolated and on edge, it takes every fibre of Luther’s being to keep it together. Can a cold case help unlock a mystery that’s tormenting him to distraction?
“Meanwhile, the serial killer is still on the loose. Benny’s hacking skills have revealed a list of hundreds of potential victims but, with a rapidly escalating number of crime scenes, Luther must use all his ingenuity to work out where the killer is headed next. Discovering it’s all part of a macabre endgame, Luther is forced to put himself and his new colleague Emma into the heart of danger to try and stop the murdering madness.”
We imagine that the series is going to come to a thrilling conclusion here, and while this is the finale for this particular story, it is not necessarily the end of the road for the character. There is always a chance for a “Luther” feature film down the line, and we are still not ruling out the possibility of the show having a fifth season down the road, provided that Idris Elba and company are on board for telling more of this story.
