Next on the American reboot slate is Neil Cross' gritty crime series Luther , which starred Idris Elba as an intense Police Inspector who often went above and beyond to catch maniacs. Variety reports that FOX has given a "hefty put-pilot commitment" to a new Luther adaptation, which creator Cross is helping with.Cross will pen the pilot script and executive produce, with series star Idris Elba also attached as an executive producer as well. As of now, Elba is not expected to reprise his leading role for the FOX remake like Tennant did with Gracepoint.There had been no plans to continue the BBC Luther series past the initial three seasons, though Cross has been vocal at certain points about wanting to make a Luther movie. Cross most recently brought the pirate drama Crossbones to NBC, which he created, wrote, and produced.
