Happy Valley Season 3 Australian Free To Air Premiere on ABC TV 15 March

The highly-anticipated third season of the critically acclaimed police drama “Happy Valley” is set to make its Free-to-Air premiere on ABC in March. Viewers will be treated to the final season of Sally Wainwright’s masterful storytelling, following its initial Pay TV release in December 2022.

Returning to reprise their roles are Sarah Lancashire, James Norton, and Siobhan Finneran, who have garnered substantial praise for their performances throughout the series. Lancashire shines as Sergeant Catherine Cawood, whose world is turned upside down when she stumbles upon the remains of a gangland murder victim in a drained reservoir.

This grim discovery sets off a chain of events that takes an unexpected turn when it leads Catherine back to Tommy Lee Royce, portrayed by James Norton. The intricate web woven by Wainwright delves into the complex relationship between Catherine and Tommy, intertwining their lives in ways neither could have foreseen. Meanwhile, Catherine’s grandson Ryan, played by Rhys Connah, is now sixteen years old and seeks his own connection with Tommy despite Catherine’s refusal to acknowledge him as his father. Caught in the middle is Clare (Siobhan Finneran), Catherine’s sister.

A wider mystery involves a local pharmacist and small-time drug dealer who becomes entangled in dangerous circumstances after getting involved with an arrested woman.

Fans can mark their calendars for Friday 15 March at 8:30pm on ABC for the highly-anticipated Free-to-Air premiere of Happy Valley’s third and final season.
