Idris Elba’s Netflix sitcom Turn Up Charlie has been turned OFF. The Luther favourite’s foray into funny is over – with no plans for a ­second series, sources say.

Created by Idris himself, it saw the 47-year-old play a has-been DJ trying to revive his career. It was a dream role for Idris, whose big love is music and being behind the decks.

An insider said: “Idris had hoped to get a second season rolling and was even working on new ideas but he couldn’t get it to work. “ Netflix and Idris just didn’t see eye to eye on it.” Turn Up Charlie was billed as Idris’s big time comedy ­opportunity, moving him away from tough-guy crime roles such as a detective in Luther and drugs kingpin Stringer Bell in The Wire.
