Vera fans can breathe a sigh of relief as the drama WILL return, with Brenda Blethyn confirming details of another 'special' episode that has already been filmed.
Viewers have been engrossed in the latest exploits of Brenda's famous character DCI Stanhope, but on Sunday night it will be time to bid her farewell once again as the new run of the ITV drama signs off with two hour episode The Darkest Evening. Another tale written by Ann Cleeves, the Vera series finale will see the no nonsense sleuth forced to confront her past.
The episode was talked up as one of the most dramatic of Vera's time in the spotlight so far and, the good news for fans, many still upset with ITV for 'messing around' with series 11 and pulling it last year with two episodes still outstanding, is that another instalment of Vera has already been filmed.
