BBC1 Controller Jay Hunt confirmed at the Edinburgh International Television Festival that cop show Luther will return in 2011 with two two-hour specials. I assume the reduction in episodes from six to four hours (telling just two stories) is because Idris Elba's a busy actor with a tight schedule to work around. I know the series didn't connect with everyone, but I personally found it enjoyably daft and surprisingly gripping towards the end, so I'm glad we'll be seeing more.
