You’ll know him best as a DJ or DCI John Luther from BBC’s crime drama series. You might even know him as a rapper after he took on a verse alongside Wiley, Stefflon Don and Sean Paul on the January hit Boasty, but now he’s Netflix’s newest comedy star.
Today Netflix revealed the trailer to their new comedy series Turn Up Charlie. The series created by Idris Elba and Gary Reich shows the life of an unsuccessful DJ who turns to babysitting his friends’ daughter for some extra cash.
You can watch Elba take on his new role as “manny” in the official trailer for the Turn Up Charlie series above before its worldwide premiere March 15th.
