Thanks to Bruce_F for the heads up.
The second season hasn’t aired on BBC America for stateside audiences yet (that’s coming late next month; UK audiences saw all season 2 episodes already earlier this year)... no matter, BBC One controller Danny Cohen announced at the ongoing Edinburgh TV Festival (running this weekend) that a 3rd season of Luther, the critically acclaimed psychological crime drama starring one Idris Elba, has been ordered!
Season 2 reportedly outperformed season 1, on average, attracting over 5 million viewers and was well received by critics.
No word yet as to how many episodes season 3 will have, or when it will air, though I’d expect it’ll be sometime in mid 2012.
