Sally Wainwright’s BAFTA-winning series — an early British drama success story that sold to broadcasters around the world and landed on Netflix in the U.S. and other key markets — will shoot season 3 in and around West Yorkshire in 2022, the BBC confirmed on Tuesday.
“Happy Valley” first aired on BBC One in 2014, followed by season 2 two years later. The first seasons each won BAFTAs for drama series and writing for drama. The show was critically acclaimed and became a go-to example of specific British storytelling that can travel the globe and resonate with international markets.
“I’m delighted to find myself back in the world of Catherine Cawood and her family and colleagues for the final instalment of the ‘Happy Valley’ trilogy,” said Wainwright. “It’s been wonderful to see the lasting impact this series has had on audiences all over the world. I’m thrilled that Sarah, James and Siobhan are back on board for what I hope will be the best season yet, and thrilled once again to be working with the wonderful team at Lookout Point, the BBC and our new colleagues at AMC.
Piers Wenger, director of BBC Drama, said: “When ‘Happy Valley’ first launched on the BBC in 2014, it changed the landscape of crime drama completely. Sally has crafted a magnificent conclusion that is sure to make this third and final series one of television’s most highly anticipated and unmissable moments.
