Acorn TV, AMC+, and BBC AMERICA debuted today, the anticipated trailer for the third and final season of Sally Wainwright’s enthralling and critically praised drama, Happy Valley, ahead of its premiere on Monday, May 22. Season 3 of the multi-BAFTA Award-winning series will be available exclusively across all three networks, with a new episode debuting weekly.
In the epic and unmissable final season, Sergeant Catherine Cawood (Sarah Lancashire, Julia, Last Tango in Halifax) discovers the remains of a gangland murder victim, sparking a chain of events that unwittingly leads her straight back to murderer and rapist Tommy Lee Royce (James Norton, McMafia, Little Women). Catherine’s grandson Ryan (Rhys Connah, The Runaways) is now sixteen and has ideas of his own about what kind of relationship he wants to have with Tommy, the man Catherine still refuses to acknowledge as his father. Still battling the seemingly never-ending problem of drugs in the valley and those who supply them, Catherine is on the cusp of retirement. Will she solve this final case?
The six-episode season also sees Siobhan Finneran (Downton Abbey) returning to her iconic role as Clare Cartwright, the devoted sister of Catherine.
