Archived from the original on 1 November 2019.In Halifax, West Yorkshire, Catherine Cawood is a divorced police sergeant with two children. She is still trying to recover from the suicide of her daughter, which happened eight years ago. Catherine is raising her grandson, Ryan, who was born due to her daughter being raped by Tommy Lee Royce. Just when it seems like Catherine is gaining control over her life, she discovers that Tommy, whom she holds responsible for her daughter's suicide, has been released from prison after serving time for other offences. Catherine becomes consumed by the idea of confronting him, unaware that Tommy is involved in a criminal organisation with the intention of kidnapping Anne Gallagher, the daughter of a wealthy businessman, for ransom. Executive producer Will Johnston said the series creator Sally Wainwright and star Sarah Lancashire had agreed it “would only return once more”, according to Radio Times. Ryan’s latest catchphrase, “Revenge is a dish best served cold”, acquired new resonance now that Catherine knew who he had been visiting. Cut to Tommy in his cell, smirking and scheming. He might soon be up in court for another murder but Royce chillingly “forgave” the prison chaplain who had informed on him. Besides, he had other matters in mind – namely, staging a scuffle in the canteen to distract guards so he could surreptitiously take a smuggled phone.

The two vital things are that Ryan Cawood, (played by Rhys Connah), is now at an age to make his own decisions about his life and the relationship he has in it, and Catherine’s (Sarah Lancashire) is on the brink of retirement, and those felt like such juicy things to explore.” Procedural crime thriller series Happy Valley is returning for a third and final season, the BBC has confirmed, six years on from the release of the show's second series. The new six-part series will see the return of the show's major cast members, including Sarah Lancashire and James Norton and is set to be the finale season of the award-winning crime drama. The release date for season three has now been confirmed and we don't have long to wait! Here's everything else we know about Happy Valley season three. Brown, Maggie (25 May 2014). "Happy Valley writer: I don't have to apologise for show's violence". The Guardian/The Observer. Guardian News . Retrieved 3 June 2014. Although crime and violence propel the narrative, there is always enough space for relationships to be explored in depth. Some of the most touching scenes involve Cawood and her sister Claire. A few simple lines of dialogue convey multitudes about how close and caring people can be, yet still get each other wrong. "I don't know why I ever listen to a word you say," yells Catherine, after a party thrown to cheer her up goes disastrously wrong. "I said I didn't want a sodding party."On 20 August 2014, the series was further released on Netflix in Canada and the USA, marketed as a "Netflix Original".

Sarah Lancashire: 'Happy Valley is one of the hardest jobs I've had. It's brutal' ". What's On TV. 28 April 2014 . Retrieved 12 June 2014.What sounds like a standard crime drama is elevated by Wainwright's refusal to paint characters in easy and recognisable colours. When his request for a payrise is turned down, accountant Kevin Weatherill (Steve Pemberton) hatches a plan to kidnap his boss's daughter, with the help of a group of local villains, including Royce. Cawood, played with steely obsession by Lancashire, clearly equates the kidnapped girl with her own daughter: she lost one, she's not going to lose another. Sadly, this will be the third and final series of Happy Valley, according to the creators. Executive producer Will Johnston said the series creator Sally Wainwright and star Sarah Lancashire had agreed it “would only return once more”.
