Production History[]

When originally asked about a potential third series, Idris Elba said, "We'll have to see what the appetite is like for it at the end of this series. If it's a good, healthy appetite then we'll figure out how we're going to do some more."

In August 2011, BBC One controller announced in August 2011 that a third series had been commissioned. It is expected that the lead cast from the second series will return to make four, hour-long episodes and this will air in either late 2012 or early 2013. On 19 October 2012 the official BBC Facebook fan page for Luther released a video showing Idris Elba holding what appeared to be the script for Episode 1 of the new series "Luther III".

On 1 November 2012, the BBC Luther website and Facebook page put up an announcement in the form of a video 'graphic novel' montage with details about the third series which will consist of four episodes described in the video as 'four perfectly dark chillingly-formed chapters'. A mysterious statement was then made about Alice Morgan: 'is she coming back?....only Alice knows'. It was later revealed that Alice would be back for the third series.
