From BBC America:

[Luther’s] attempt to leave the darker side of humanity behind for a chance at a “normal” life is quickly thwarted when he’s drawn into a terrifyingly complex case. A cannibalistic serial killer delivers a devastating blow that not only pulls him out of seclusion but pushes him closer to the edge than he’s ever been. A BBC AMERICA co-production, the gripping, psychological thriller Luther makes its highly-anticipated return in a one-night special event on Thursday, December 17, 9:00pm ET.

In case you missed it, watch the BBC America and BBC One trailers for the fourth season of Luther.

Idris Elba says future seasons of Luther are a possibility. Check it out.

Calling Luther his “James Bond,” Elba has said, “…if I can play that part forever, [I’ll] do it.”
