While there, Tommy lay low but managed to take advantage of luxuries such as alcohol, a TV and, crucially, a video game console which he used to communicate with Ryan after remembering his gamertag. The BBC confirmed that filming officially started on the third and final season of Happy Valley, back in January 2022.

Just because it’s been successful, we weren’t going to let it drift on until it became a pale shadow of itself. The BBC crime drama first debuted in 2014 and has amassed a dedicated fanbase over the span of just two seasons.Hearst UK is the trading name of the National Magazine Company Ltd, 30 Panton Street, Leicester Square, London, SW1Y 4AJ.

When Catherine discovers the remains of a gangland murder victim in a drained reservoir it sparks a chain of events that unwittingly leads her straight back to Tommy Lee Royce. Local pharmacist Faisal Bhatti overhears his daughters gossiping about Jo's arrest and he goes to meet Jo: he's been supplying her with the drugs, and wants to know if she took them out of all packaging so that they can't be traced back to him (Jo had left her latest course in the blister packs).Shockingly, Rob actually crashed into the back of Faisal and the two had a brief argument in the street, so he's come face-to-face with his wife's killer without even realizing it. The full trailer for Happy Valley series 3 arrived on December 13, 2022, and it teases a tense final case for Sergeant Cawood leading her back to Tommy Lee Royce.

Becky became pregnant as a result of a brutal rape and delivered a son, Ryan, whom Catherine looks after along with her sister, Clare, who is a recovering addict. It was five years since the second season first aired in the UK, but now fans can finally watch the third season of the BAFTA-winning crime drama. Ryan asked Clare’s boyfriend, Neil to escort him on a prison visit, and ever since then Clare had allowed repeated visits to happen behind Catherine's back, with all of this information coming out during a tense, nail-biting 10-minute scene. Meanwhile, Rob Hepworth continues to be a dangerous character, as he's inflicted more abuse on Joanna behind closed doors and has even started a vendetta against Ryan, accusing him of damaging his car and kicking him off the football team.In a devastating twist, Catherine finally found out who had been taking Ryan to see Tommy Lee Royce, and it's quite the betrayal. Perhaps so, as Joanna revealed to Faisal Bhattithat she has plans to poison her husband so that she and her children can be free, but we don't know if she'll actually go through with it yet. When he’s not watching TV or at the movies, Martin’s probably still in front of a screen playing the latest video games, reading, or watching the NFL.
