Vera were sitting comfortably on their sofas on Sunday night as the smash hit ITV drama finally makes its return to screens, after nearly a year away. But many were left asking the same question - was it actually a new series?
It was back at the end of August 2021 that Vera's 11th series first launched, only for it to then disappear after two episodes, just as fans were getting into it. There was great excitement when DCI Stanhope got back on duty at the start of last year as the series continued, only for history to repeat itself, when ITV made the decision to remove it from its usual Sunday night slot for the second time in just a few months.
This left Vera fans not only disappointed but also wanting answers, given that no announcement as to why the show was shunted in favour of The Good Karma Hospital and the launch of Vicky McLure thriller Trigger Point.
