Grisly crime drama Luther returned to our screens in the shape of a Netflix film, Luther: The Fallen Sun, earlier this year. Since then, leading man Idris Elba has called for a sequel and it looks like his former on-screen nemesis could be up for it too.

Ruth Wilson played sociopath Alice Morgan in seasons 1-5 of Luther. She did not resume the role for The Fallen Sun – unsurprising, considering her character's fate at the end of Luther season 5 – but that could change should the film get a sequel.

During an appearance Good Morning Britain this morning (Tuesday 22nd August), Wilson was asked whether she would return.

"I can't comment, sorry. That's a very Alice answer," she said. “Wait and see as always, I'll keep the mystery forever unfolding. She's [Alice] always close, she's close to me all the time, so Alice is never far away.”

If a sequel is green-lit by Netflix, it will be a while yet before it lands on our screens. In the meantime, Wilson is set to star in another BBC drama, The Woman in the Wall, inspired by Ireland's Magdalene Laundries.

Luther seasons 1-5 are available to watch on BBC iPlayer, while Luther: The Fallen Sun is on Netflix. Sign up for Netflix from £6.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream.
