Luther: The Fallen Sun spoilers follow.

Luther actor Idris Elba wants to make a sequel to Luther: The Fallen Sun, which premiered on Netflix earlier this year.

The movie, which starred Andy Serkis as the villain, ended with Elba's Luther triumphant over his adversaries but en route back to prison. However, right at the end, it is implied that an MI5 agent offers Luther a job instead of going back behind bars.

This obviously screams sequel and, in a new interview with Collider while promoting his new Apple TV+ series Hijack, Elba said fans should keep their "fingers crossed" for more Luther.

"It did really well. Luther ended up being one of the top five most streamed films on Netflix, which is an incredible achievement, since it was the first film from the television show. I’m hoping to make another one," Elba said.

He continued: "I love Luther. I love that character, and I love where I can possibly take him, as a story and as a character. So, yeah, keep your fingers crossed."

Luther: The Fallen Sun is available to watch now on Netflix.
