Luther

This is everything you need to know about what happens at the end of Luther: The Fallen Sun on Netflix, including if Luther survives.

Robey attempts to get Raine and Luther to torture each other, however Luther manages to get inside Robey's head, reminding him of his anxieties, particularly his teeth grinding. Once Luther is dressed, the pair make their way out of the house and are greeted by a man in a suit, civil servant Tim Cranfield (Guy Williams). And will Luther return to prison? He wakes up at a stately home, confused and finds Schenk who tells him he has been taken to a government safe house. They are brought to Robey in his Red Room, which is broadcasting live over the internet. Robey begins to taunt Luther in jail by sending him a radio with a recording of Callum's cries. He also shouts at the viewers watching at home, telling them they are being traced by the police, and very quickly the Red Room begins losing viewers. Luther goes to visit Callum's mum Corinne (Hattie Morahan) who reveals she has met someone new called 'Tommy' who said he lost his wife in terrible circumstances. Luther chases Robey through the London underground, but Robey evades capture. It's revealed he has a massive operation working underneath him, with his team using video surveillance footage in order to recruit more victims. Luther ends up in jail, unable to do anything to help find Callum. The film brings back some of our favourite characters such as DSU Martin Schenk (Dermot Crowley) and introduces us to some new ones including Cynthia Erivo as DCI Odette Raine.

Idris Elba returns as John Luther in new Netflix spin-off film Luther: The Fallen Sun.

Over the years, Luther star Idris Elba has proven how dedicated he is to the character of John Luther. He played opposite James Bond star Naomie Harris in the film, fuelling rumours that Idris would be taking over from Daniel Craig as 007.

The character was last on our screens in 2019 and ever since, a film version has been in development. Over the years, Idris has continually denied the rumours. He played the hugely popular character Stringer Bell. They became engaged on February 10 2018, during a screening of his film Yardie at an East London cinema. But who exactly is the actor? Luther has been arrested following the death of his partner (and sometimes lover) Alice Morgan, who was played by Ruth Wilson. I wake up in the morning and I am aching and s***. I am really just thankful to make it." Idris Elba returns as John Luther, the brilliant but disgraced former Detective Chief Inspector.

Ruth Wilson's Alice may not return in Luther: The Fallen Sun, but creator Neil Cross has teased "we never saw a body" so she could be back in the future.

"And I think that does apply to Alice, who is such an incredible story companion, in so many ways, to the Luther series. And it's not to say that we might not meet them at some point in the future." Cross then added teasingly: "Like Ruth said, we never saw a body," to which Payne concurred: "We never saw a body. [RadioTimes.com](https://www.radiotimes.com/) caught up exclusively with the film's writer Neil Cross and director Jamie Payne to ask whether there was ever an intention to include other characters from the Luther series, such as Paul McGann's Mark North.

And I think it's very tempting for any filmmaker, any writer to do. Just say, 'Let's see Mark crossing the street.' But I think it's essentially meretricious and it doesn't respect the engagement of the returning audience with the universe. And that is exciting. Alice does not show up in Luther: The Fallen Sun, not helping to assuage fans of this fear. Cross said: "I think fan-service is a sugar high.

The BBC movie picks up some years after season five's explosive finale, with the detective behind bars and a serial killer terrorising London. Luther.

Although Luther finds the hitman and holds a gun to him, he does not shoot him.

Netflix's Luther: The Fallen Sun unfolds with the fateful detective in prison, leaving many curious as to why.

In The Fallen Sun, the detective attempts to hunt down a At the end of season 5 of the Netflix series, Luther is arrested by Martin Schenk (Dermot Crowley). During the fifth season, the detective is set up for multiple crimes which he did not commit. Unfortunately for Luther, the film kicks off as the detective is at a real low point. Luther: The Fallen Sun unfolds with the fateful detective in prison, leaving many curious as to why. Reprising his role as the titular detective, [Idris Elba](/en-gb/topic/idris-elba/) returns as John Luther in a brand new crime-filled drama flick.

Luther: The Fallen Sun turns the BBC crime series into a loopy horror show, with Andy Serkis as a billionaire baddie using the internet like a Black Mirror ...

Fallen Sun is a condensed, balls-to-the-wall reinvention of the Luther viewers know and love, with the sadism and showmanship turned up to 11, and some classic internet nightmare-fuel thrown in for good measure. It imagines a police vigilante who fights the worst parts of the institution he represents in order to catch killers and protect the vulnerable. The Fallen Sun takes that dynamic to the next level, making its villain not only a sadistic killer, but an untouchable billionaire with an army and a secret Bond-movie-style Norwegian underground lair. And it’s a playground for a delightfully demented performance from Serkis, who chews scenery just as consistently as his character inventively kills innocent people just to toy with Luther. Thanks to the long-form nature of the original TV series, there’s time for him to make connections and friendships, alliances and enemies. Filmmakers have drooled over the lurid possibilities of the Red Room myth for decades now, making The Fallen Sun feel like a throwback to ’00s horror like My Little Eye, FeardotCom, Cry_Wolf, and Untraceable. Returning to the role that won him a Golden Globe and four Emmy nominations, Idris Elba is still a force to be reckoned with as the titular cop. But his grimy underground torture rooms filled with camcorders, designed to please creepy online men around the world, feel like a remnant of internet fearmongering long since past. Directed by Jamie Payne and written by series creator Neil Cross, The Fallen Sun begins with a perfect example of the sort of nightmare-inducing setup that made Luther such a hit. Luther is a policeman who’s so violent, the only way to justify his vigilante actions is to put him up against the most heinous and outlandish crimes imaginable. With his gruffly charming London accent and near-constant fury, Elba is still infinitely watchable as the explosive, justice-hungry cop. It’s a choice that works on multiple levels: We’re left to think the worst, or in more tragic circumstances, decide the victim’s shame was misplaced, making it even easier to exploit.

From the very beginning of Luther on the BBC, Alice was the through line. Played inimitably by Ruth Wilson, she was introduced in the first episode and ...

The only actor to reprise their role from the show is Dermot Crowley as DSU Martin Schenk. In a press release, he said: “Well, we’re an extended family and Ruth Wilson is an important part of it. Played inimitably by Ruth Wilson, she was introduced in the first episode and became all things to Luther: murderer, genius, psychopath, ally, lover, and more.

With major spoilers, we break down the climactic events, series throwbacks and future hints of the Luther movie, out now on Netflix.

Whoever it is, it’s safe to say that Luther is moving up in the world – and will no longer be limited to the streets of London. He spooks the viewers by revealing that their IP addresses are being tracked and that the police are on their way to the bunker, before taking out one of the henchmen with the hammer. [The Fallen Sun](https://www.denofgeek.com/movies/luther-the-fallen-sun-review/), we discover that Luther had been investigating the disappearance of a young man who’d been abducted by David Robey during or just before the events of Series 5. With a first movie and a new government job under Luther’s belt, it very much seems like the ball is in Netflix’s court. “If I may, unofficially, you did a commendable job,” he says, as Luther replies, “So, now what?” – a nice little callback that references the opening/closing line of most of the show’s five series. The answer, in a word, is no. Before he does, Luther taunts Robey, brilliantly dubbing him a “sweaty anxious twat” in the way that only Elba can and telling him that his own shame has been brought to light. He had built a “Red Bunker” under the snowy wilds of Norway, hidden from the outside world, where he would broadcast live “shows” to high-paying subscribers on the dark web. While the photo of Luther standing over a dead hitman didn’t quite tell the full story (Cornelius actually pulled the trigger), it presumably did blow open the fact that he’d been aiding and abetting a known criminal – and seemed like the smoking gun that would finally send Luther down. Luther and DCI Odette Raine (Cynthia Erivo), who’s now heading up his former unit, track down Robey’s hidden house of horrors thanks to information from his long-suffering wife. Let’s take a look at where we find Luther by the end of A twisted tech genius with dodgy hair and an even dodgier fashion sense, Robey is luring his victims by hijacking their digital footprints and using their deepest, darkest secrets – or as he calls it, their “shame” – against them.

Hot locations in the movie, which stars Idris Elba, include China Town, Soho, Iceland and a huge water tank in Belgium, as well as a defunct tube station and ...

Scenes that were filmed in Iceland are slated to loom large in the film. The crime-drama movie sees a gruesome serial killer on the rampage in London, while Luther is behind bars for crimes he didn’t commit. We went through it.”
