Happy Valley Season 3 release date Australia was January 01, 2023. Happy Valley is a British crime drama television series that follows the life of Catherine Cawood, a police sergeant in a small town in West Yorkshire. 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. This is quite a dark series in many ways but it's saved from being depressing by some exceptionally strong lead roles especially that played by Sarah Lancashire.Throughout the seasons’ six episodes each, Catherine’s lives as a police officer and grieving, vengeful mother intertwine in the most genius way. It’s what makes this show such compelling viewing and an absolute must if you’ve gotten tired of the same old police dramas. Who’s in the cast of Happy Valley?

As for the series, both one and two, the plot squeezes the characters so hard that it's sometimes unwatchable because you relate so intensely to the psychological pressures their under, both the good guys and the bad. If you're missing Clarissa in Silent Witness you might enjoy a special detail in the opening episode of the drama's new season... O'Donovan, Gerard (27 May 2014).
