Golden Globe winner Ruth Wilson will not reprise her role on “Luther,” TheWrap has learned.
The actress played the psychotically brilliant Alice Morgan on the U.K.’s gritty crime drama, foil to Idris Elba‘s darkly heroic lead Detective chief inspector John Luther. Elba has reprised his role on BBC America’s new two-part miniseries, which began production on Tuesday and will air in the fall.
Michael Smiley and Dermot Crowley are also returning to reprise their roles, as Benny Silver and DSU Martin Schenk respectively, but the BBC America two-parter is otherwise filled with new faces. “Game of Thrones” breakout star Rose Leslie has joined the series.
