Happy Valley star Rhys Connah was left making an apology as he made his first appearance since that gripping finale. The hit BBC One drama, starring Sarah Lancashire, James Norton, and Siobhan Finneran, came to an end on Sunday night (February 6) after six weeks of nail-biting drama.
It's taken seven years for the third season to hit screens following the success of series two back in 2016, which came two years after Happy Valley made its debut. And if the reaction is anything to go by, the final-ever series didn't disappoint with more than seven million people watching the final as it unfolded.
The latest, and last, run of the Yorkshire-based drama which started on New Year's Day, saw Tommy Lee Royce still in prison but no one could have predicted what was to come as he found himself in court for a historic murder. But by beating up his custody officers, and a distraction being created outside, Tommy managed to make his freedom dash leaving Sergeant Catherine Cawood fearing for her family after discovering grandson Ryan's contact with his dad.
