Anya is the teenage daughter of Cynthia Erivo’s DCI (see above) who gets into a perilous situation in The Fallen Sun. [Andy Serkis](https://www.denofgeek.com/andy-serkis/), whom you obviously know as the performer behind The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit films’ Gollum, behind the titular character in Peter Jackson’s King Kong, and behind evolved chimpanzee Caesar in Rise of the Planet of the Apes. He’s played by Vincent Regan, a familiar face in crime drama recently seen in The Bay, Traces, Before We Die, Snatch, and Undercover as well as historical dramas She’s played by Hattie Morahan, who memorably played Jane, the weepy neighbour of the Brockman family in BBC comedy Outnumbered, but more recently was seen as Lady Tewkesbury in Netflix’s 9 and Agathe in Disney’s 2017 Beauty and the Beast. [Harlots](https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/harlots-witty-history-fiction/). She’s played by Oscar-nominee Cynthia Erivo, a screen and stage star with an incredible singing voice.

DCI Odette Raine is the detective who’s been heading up Luther’s old unit during his time inside. She’s not listed among the cast this time, but there’s no saying that wily brainbox won’t find a way to return in any future Luther movie sequels. Going toe-to-toe with Idris Elba’s John will be Andy Serkis as surveillance tech billionaire David Robey, possibly the detective’s darkest foe yet.

Netflix's Luther: The Fallen Sun ending, explained (cosmopolitan.com)

This is everything you need to know about what happens at the end of Luther: The Fallen Sun on Netflix, including if Luther survives.

Robey attempts to get Raine and Luther to torture each other, however Luther manages to get inside Robey's head, reminding him of his anxieties, particularly his teeth grinding. Once Luther is dressed, the pair make their way out of the house and are greeted by a man in a suit, civil servant Tim Cranfield (Guy Williams). And will Luther return to prison? He wakes up at a stately home, confused and finds Schenk who tells him he has been taken to a government safe house. They are brought to Robey in his Red Room, which is broadcasting live over the internet. Robey begins to taunt Luther in jail by sending him a radio with a recording of Callum's cries. He also shouts at the viewers watching at home, telling them they are being traced by the police, and very quickly the Red Room begins losing viewers. Luther goes to visit Callum's mum Corinne (Hattie Morahan) who reveals she has met someone new called 'Tommy' who said he lost his wife in terrible circumstances. Luther chases Robey through the London underground, but Robey evades capture. It's revealed he has a massive operation working underneath him, with his team using video surveillance footage in order to recruit more victims. Luther ends up in jail, unable to do anything to help find Callum. The film brings back some of our favourite characters such as DSU Martin Schenk (Dermot Crowley) and introduces us to some new ones including Cynthia Erivo as DCI Odette Raine.

How<em> Luther: The Fallen Sun</em> sets up future John Luther ... (EW.com)

'Luther' star Idris Elba and creator Neil Cross explain Netflix's 'Luther: The Fallen Sun' ending, and potential for new movies.

Now that Luther has been reintroduced to a new potential audience, incorporating more of the character's past is a possibility moving forward. "We never saw them setting first to her coffin and even if we had, I would still doubt she was in it," he says. As long as it's psychologically true to the character and his history, there are any number of stories that we can tell," Cross explains. While there is more humbleness to John after his ordeal according to Elba, this new attitude won't mean he'll be staying on the right side of the law. [Idris Elba](https://ew.com/person/idris-elba/)) has a rough journey during [Luther: The Fallen Sun](https://ew.com/creative-work/luther/). [Starting at rock bottom in prison](https://ew.com/movies/luther-the-fallen-sun-finds-john-luther-at-rock-bottom/) without his badge, John still manages to take down David Robey and comes out the other side with his confidence in himself returning.

'Luther: The Fallen Sun' Ending Explained: What It Could Mean for ... (Decider)

You might think that Luther creator Neil Cross, who also wrote the movie, would be running out of ideas by this point. But in an interview for the Luther press ...

How about, instead of another movie, another season of the show, aka Luther Season 6? In an interview for The Fallen Sun press notes, Cross also hinted that, should there be another Luther movie, fans might get to see the return of Ruth Wilson as Alice Morgan. At the end of the movie, after Luther has saved the day and successfully taken down the serial killer, he’s taken to a government safe house. Without spoiling too much of the movie for those who haven’t watched it yet, The Fallen Sun ending implies that we may see Detective John Luther working on even bigger, more ambitious cases in the future. But in an interview for the Luther press notes, Cross said he always wanted to tell a Luther story via a movie, rather an TV show. “We worked incredibly hard to make the TV show as ambitious and cinematic as we possibly could, but it was always my passionate conviction that John Luther was just far bigger than the limits of the medium allowed us to be,” he said.

John Luther been thrown in prison while a horrific serial killer taunts him in the shadows, looking for another victim to kill. We’re also told of a woman who was severely burned, and we see the gruesome burn marks. A woman is zip-tied and knocked to the ground. We see one such person be stabbed, and we see a girl be choked repeatedly with a plastic bag. We hear the horrific screams of a 17-year-old boy as he is murdered. We see an artistic representation of a crucifixion victim. Luther threatens to “tattoo a man’s eye,” holding a needle extremely close to the man’s pupil before backing down. That fact, spurred on by a mocking message sent by the killer to Luther, is something that seems strange to him. When a man watches pornography in private, we see that he’s being recorded by someone and is marked as a potential target for their next blackmail victim. The boy is just one of many victims who’ve fallen into the hands of a serial killer who’s quickly gaining notoriety. Another victim is likely killed after being hit multiple times in the head with a hammer. When he arrives, he meets a gay man who tells him of how he had talked about pornographic fantasies with another man and planned a night of indulgence with him.

Should You Watch 'Luther: The Fallen Sun' on Netflix? (What's on Netflix)

Four years after the final episode of the Luther TV series, Idris Elba & company are back for another high-profile case. A co-production between Netflix & BBC, ...

He is the movie as much as he is the show. As the film progresses towards its frozen backdrop conclusion, it becomes more and more evident that the lack of connection & chemistry between Luther & Serkis holds the film back and the lesser stakes personally for Luther make the plot thinner than its icy setting. However, with a lack of personal connection & stakes for Luther and an underwhelming performance from Serkis, the story can only take us so far. Scenes like the discovery of the hanging bodies at the mansion and the suicides at Piccadilly Circus make the film more macabre than most serialized detective shows and amps up the cinematic quality for a show trying to level up. A co-production between Netflix & BBC, Luther: The Fallen Sun is the long-awaited execution of an idea for a standalone Luther movie that started with initial scripts back in 2013. While the main plot and new killer don’t have any connection to the TV series, this film does rely on prior knowledge to truly understand and enjoy the character of Luther.

Luther: The Fallen Sun Ending Explained - So, Now What For Idris ... (Den of Geek)

With major spoilers, we break down the climactic events, series throwbacks and future hints of the Luther movie, out now on Netflix.

Whoever it is, it’s safe to say that Luther is moving up in the world – and will no longer be limited to the streets of London. He spooks the viewers by revealing that their IP addresses are being tracked and that the police are on their way to the bunker, before taking out one of the henchmen with the hammer. [The Fallen Sun](https://www.denofgeek.com/movies/luther-the-fallen-sun-review/), we discover that Luther had been investigating the disappearance of a young man who’d been abducted by David Robey during or just before the events of Series 5. With a first movie and a new government job under Luther’s belt, it very much seems like the ball is in Netflix’s court. “If I may, unofficially, you did a commendable job,” he says, as Luther replies, “So, now what?” – a nice little callback that references the opening/closing line of most of the show’s five series. The answer, in a word, is no. Before he does, Luther taunts Robey, brilliantly dubbing him a “sweaty anxious twat” in the way that only Elba can and telling him that his own shame has been brought to light. He had built a “Red Bunker” under the snowy wilds of Norway, hidden from the outside world, where he would broadcast live “shows” to high-paying subscribers on the dark web. While the photo of Luther standing over a dead hitman didn’t quite tell the full story (Cornelius actually pulled the trigger), it presumably did blow open the fact that he’d been aiding and abetting a known criminal – and seemed like the smoking gun that would finally send Luther down. Luther and DCI Odette Raine (Cynthia Erivo), who’s now heading up his former unit, track down Robey’s hidden house of horrors thanks to information from his long-suffering wife. Let’s take a look at where we find Luther by the end of A twisted tech genius with dodgy hair and an even dodgier fashion sense, Robey is luring his victims by hijacking their digital footprints and using their deepest, darkest secrets – or as he calls it, their “shame” – against them.

Luther: The Fallen Sun is, for all intents and purposes a feature-length season of the show. But Luther: The Fallen Sun is still a well-put-together film featuring Elba once again giving a magnetic performance. He is something of a cad (as the Brits would say), all right. Once he spots Luther investigating one of his murders, he decides to get him out of the picture. I have fallen in love with and out of the original TV series more times than I care to count. In a meta scene roughly halfway through Luther: The Fallen Sun, Idris Elba is offered a glass of martini, and he refuses pointedly —preferring, instead, a glass of water.

Are Luther: The Fallen Sun's Red Rooms Real? Inspiration Explained (Screen Rant)

David Robey's Red Bunker makes him one of Luther's worst villains in Luther: The Fallen Sun, but its real life inspiration is even more sinister.

However, red rooms appear to be real in the Netflix movie Luther: The Fallen Sun. [the Netflix movie](https://screenrant.com/glass-onion-success-netflix-movie-strategy-change/) red room plot might reveal the urban legend has some real foundations. The dark web myth takes its name from a Japanese Internet urban legend, although dark web red rooms are said to function differently. Robey’s plans make him a threatening villain, but the true inspiration behind the Red Bunker makes Luther: The Fallen Sun’s villain plan so much scarier. On the dark web, red rooms refer to live torture and murder in online livestreams and chatrooms. The closer that Luther and his associate, DCI Odette Raine, get to Robey, the more personal the threats become, making Robey a terrifying threat for the detectives.

In a conversation with Digital Trends, Andor actor Andy Serkis talks about his Netflix movie Luther: The Fallen Sun, Idris Elba, and playing the villain.

A villain is only as good as the protagonist he or she is fighting. We’ve become so used to the power technology has over us and that is fertile ground for a character like David Robey to be able to manipulate people through shame. Beyond that, what I also found fascinating about the character is the fact that he is a nobody, really. Andy Serkis: I was drawn to The Fallen Sun because it dealt with the ongoing debate about the power of the Internet. As an actor, what appeals to you about playing a villain and, specifically, David Robey in Luther: The Fallen Sun? In a conversation with Digital Trends, Serkis talks about the allure of playing bad guys, working with Luther actor Idris Elba, and whether or not Robey’s gorgeous hair is a result of Serkis’ good genes or Netflix’s massive wig budget.

4 Easter Eggs & References In Luther: The Fallen Sun (Screen Rant)

Even though Netflix's Luther follow-up can be enjoyed by a broad audience, Luther: The Fallen Sun includes several Easter eggs for Luther fans.

As the music begins, Luther smiles to himself, as though “Paradise Circus” signals that after the events of Luther: The Fallen Sun, John Luther is back in action again. Luther: The Fallen Sun follows the events of the original [Luther](https://screenrant.com/tag/luther/) series, seeing the titular character John Luther imprisoned for his misconduct throughout the TV show. With this in mind, it makes sense for Luther’s Bowie obsession to come back in Luther: The Fallen Sun, after Luther has been through dark times. Given Luther’s attachment to the Volvo, it is only fitting that Luther’s beloved vehicle reappears in Netflix’s Luther: The Fallen Sun as well. Here's every Luther Easter egg and reference in Netflix’s Luther: The Fallen Sun, including where they can be found in the Netflix movie.
