When is Happy Valley Season 3 Releasing?
It’s been a long wait since we last saw the Fremantle-based police force in action—seven years to be precise—and we can’t wait to see what happens next.
With Sarah Lancashire and James Norton returning as Catherine Cawood and Andy Carver, respectively, there’s no doubt that this will be another nail-biting watch. The big date is out and the upcoming season is arriving on January 1st, 2023.
Yes, this is the big New Years’ gift that we all deserve after six painful years of waiting for the police drama. The episodes will air at 9 pm on BBC One BBC iPlayer.
Do We Have A Trailer for Season 3?
Yes, BBC One did drop the anticipated trailer for all the fans to rejoice with excitement.
The trailer takes us straight into the life of Catherine Cawood (played by Sarah Lancashire) counting down the days until her retirement and doing her best to look after her grandson.
The story takes a turn when she finds out about a gangland murder victim. She starts working on the leads and comes across a shocking plot which introduces us to James Norton who is responsible for various hideous things.
We also see him spending his part in jail brutally among the other criminals. One scene shows him stitching up his own forehead which reflects on the rough time.
What Is The Show About?
The first series was set in Yorkshire and had its roots firmly in crime fiction, with themes of sexual abuse, misogyny and domestic violence running through the plot. It’s no wonder that it received much critical acclaim upon its release.
It won both the Royal Television Society Best Drama Series award and the National Television Award for Best Drama Series.
Season two saw Sarah Lancashire who is struggling with PTSD after being involved in a violent incident at a station party that left her partner dead.
She starts receiving threatening messages from an unknown person and this causes her to start questioning everything about herself again – including whether or not she should stay at work.
Who All Are Coming For The Season 3?
The prime cast is said to return for the third season including Sarah Lancashire, James Norton, Siobhan Finneran and Rhys Connah.
