The creator of the BBC drama Luther is working on a possible spinoff series featuring the character of Alice Morgan (Ruth Wilson) from series one.
Speaking to Variety, Neil Cross said he is very interested in a series which is focused totally on the mysterious serial killer who befriended and crossed swords with Idris Elba’s Luther in the first series.
He said "The only real question would be how many [episodes] and how often we would do it - whether it would be a one-off miniseries or a returning miniseries."
"The truth is I absolutely adore Alice. I don't like to imagine my life without Alice in some way or other. It's something peculiar, but she's far more clever than me, far more witty than me, far more everything than me. I've got storylines going around in my head like trains."
He said the series would be "a mix between The Talented Mr Ripley and The Last Seduction". He also suggested that he would be likely to set it in Alice's "natural habitat" of America.
The project would come as well as the proposed Luther movie which is due to follow the third and final set of episodes.
Cross has already spoken to actress Wilson about the idea but he is not planning for Elba to be part of the series.
