"Luther creator Neil Cross is planning a spinoff featuring Alice Morgan (Ruth Wilson). Cross told Variety that the BBC is &amp;quot;very interested&amp;quot; in a miniseries focused on the glamorous serial killer, who appeared in the first two series of the Idris Elba cop drama.   &amp;quot;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,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;The truth is I absolutely adore Alice. I don&amp;#039;t like to imagine my life without Alice in some way or other. It&amp;#039;s something peculiar, but she&amp;#039;s far more clever than me, far more witty than me, far more everything than me. I&amp;#039;ve got storylines going around in my head like trains.&amp;quot; Cross described the planned project as &amp;quot;a mix between The Talented Mr Ripley and The Last Seduction&amp;quot; and revealed that it will likely be set in Alice&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;natural habitat&amp;quot; of America.  However, he confirmed that he does not currently have a plan for the character of John Luther (Elba) to appear in the Alice mini-series. &amp;quot;I think the first one would probably be a Luther-free zone, because their stories have diverged to a large extent,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;But there would be nothing to suggest they couldn&amp;#039;t come together again. &amp;quot;The great thing is they can survive independently of each other. Each of those actors is so kind of secretly magnetic. [Idris is] able to pull that intense relationship out of many, many actors he&amp;#039;s worked with, and I think Ruth as Alice would be able to do the same.&amp;quot; Back in March, Cross announced his plans to end Luther as a television show following the upcoming third series, in order to focus on a movie version. &amp;gt; Idris Elba confirms Luther movie plans: &amp;#039;It&amp;#039;s a very strong goal&amp;#039; &amp;gt; Doctor Who: Luther creator Neil Cross to write new episode &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ve got lots and lots of movie interest, and Idris and I [are being] very careful about what kind of movie we choose to do,&amp;quot; he has now revealed. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ve got all kinds of criteria of how and when we should do the movie, and we just need to pick our offer carefully. But I&amp;#039;d love to do it next year.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
