It’s been a slow-moving saga, and it still might be, but screenwriter Sally Wainwright has now confirmed that series three of Happy Valley has now been greenlit.There’s one major roadblock to the show’s return, though. As Wainwright tells Television Business International, “scripts will only get going once she has completed the already-commissioned second series of [the] HBO/BBC One co-production Gentleman Jack, which recently wrapped its first series to stellar ratings.” Gentleman Jack is a historical drama, also created by Wainwright, which premiered this last spring in both the United States and Great Britain.
Series two of the internationally acclaimed crime drama aired in the UK three years ago and speculation has taken place ever since as to when a third series might emerge.
I’ll keep my eyes open for updates to this reporting.
