Thanks to Bruce_F for the heads up.
The second season hasn’t aired on BBC America for stateside audiences yet (that’s coming late next month; UK audiences saw all season 2 episodes already earlier this year)... no matter, BBC One controller Danny Cohen announced at the ongoing Edinburgh TV Festival (running this weekend) that a 3rd season of Luther, the critically acclaimed psychological crime drama starring one Idris Elba, has been ordered!
Season 2 reportedly outperformed season 1, on average, attracting over 5 million viewers and was well received by critics.
No word yet as to how many episodes season 3 will have, or when it will air, though I’d expect it’ll be sometime in mid 2012.

ReplyDeleteGreat to hear!
ReplyDeleteLoved the first 2 seasons!
great news, its a big show in our family, cant wait to mid 2012 :D
ReplyDeleteNow What ? A Third season Man ! =)
ReplyDeleteCan they please bring Alice back?
ReplyDeleteAmen. Please, I need more Alice than in season 2
ReplyDeleteShe added so much to Series One! She was an afterthought in Series Two.
ReplyDeleteShe is the perfect vehicle to see into Luther's darker aspects and without her reflecting those parts of Luther I felt like something was missing in Series 2.
It was still great, but not as great....
Congrats for a 3rd season!
ReplyDeleteGreat news! Hope there's more Alice though.
