Luther - The U.K. Police Drama Starring Idris Elba, Paul McGann and Ruth Wilson Comes to DVD

Idris Elba stars as Detective John Luther in this thrilling new crime series from BBC America. A self-destructive near-genius, Luther might just be as dangerous as the depraved criminals he hunts. Luther follows his own moral code as much as the rules of criminal law. But he quickly becomes locked in a lethal battle of wits with Alice (Ruth Wilson), a beautiful, highly intelligent mass murderer, and his decision-making process becomes increasingly murky.

The strain begins to tell as he's drawn deeper and deeper into a series of horrific murders, and the shadow of a former case threatens to bring him down. Forced to face his own capacity for violence, he struggles with why his wife left him and what draws him to Alice. As the stakes get higher and more personal, Luther's lonely path pulls him towards the very edge of temptation. Is he a force for good or a man hell bent on self-destruction?

Idris Elba (The Wire, The Office), Ruth Wilson (Jane Eyre, The Prisoner), Paul McGann (Doctor Who - The 1996 Movie, Alien³) and more star in Luther, the 2010 BBC drama. Distributor Warner Home Video has announced that a 2-DVD set is coming to North America on November 23rd, at a cost of $34.98 SRP. The timing is calculated to for this release to occur soon after the 6-episode series is broadcast on BBC America. Besides those episodes, you'll also get a 30-minute Behind-the-Scenes Featurette titled "Luther: The World of a True Maverick." Further details and package art haven't been made available yet, but stay tuned for updates!
