Golden Globe winner Idris Elba, seen here in a still from the second 'Luther' miniseries.
BBC America has announced that it will co-produce the third installment of Luther, the crime drama that recently won a Golden Globe for star Idris Elba. The four-part miniseries is set to premiere as part of BBC America’s Dramaville, with an airdate yet to be determined. Not only will Elba reprise his titular role as the brilliant but brooding detective, he’ll also be joined by his police team, which includes Warren Brown (DS Justin Ripley), Dermot Crowley (DSU Martin Schenk) Nikki Amuka-Bird (DS Erin Gray), and Michael Smiley (Benny Silver).
Perry Simon, General Manager of Channels for BBC Worldwide America, says, “His iconic role as John Luther has quickly become one of the most powerful detective characters television audiences have ever seen. Luther has been integral in establishing our new Dramaville franchise, the home for groundbreaking British drama. We’re excited to work once again with the incredibly talented writer Neil Cross and executive producer Phillippa Giles on this new ambitious four-part mini-series.”
In addition to his Golden Globe win last week and Emmy nomination in 2011, Elba recently received a second consecutive NAACP Image Award nomination for his performance. He won the award last year.

some really really wonderful info on this page and some of the feedback are certainly cool too
I just need more Luther and Alice mmmbeepbeep!!!
i am hooked, luther and this roller coaster ride with alice. gotta have more, i love the writers on this show…. keep it up
Never thought television could be this good. Took me three weeks to watch the last episode because I knew that I wouldn’t have this amazing show to look forward to. Finally got over it and just watched both seasons again, back to back. So glad that there will be another season. If BBC decides to ever let this one go they are crazy.
Right now I’m thanking the TV gods that there is a third season in the works. I was hooked ever since the pilot and loved it ever since. The character just has so many levels of emotion that its hard to take your eyes away from Idris, cause you never know what he’s going to do next. Mix that up with great scripts, camera work …oh yeah and Alice.
I am totally addicted. I love the complexity of the man that is John Luther. Great Great storyline! More More More…………..
