Riley Jones has hinted that there could be even more big news to come from ITV regarding Vera, after the channel confirmed a 13th series for the hit drama last week.
A month after the final episode of series 12 aired and just a week on from star of the show Kenny Doughty announcing that he was quitting his role as DS Aden Healy, it was announced that Vera would be back for series 13. In the wake of Kenny's upsetting news, there had been some concern from fans over Vera's future, but they can now rest easy in the knowledge that DCI Stanhope will be back on the case once again.
And the even better news for fans of the long-running Sunday night favourite is that there is another episode already in the can, with the adaptation of Ann Cleeves' latest book, The Rising TIde, set to air later this year. The feature length tale will be Kenny''s final episode as Aiden, with it now also being revealed that Ibinabo Jack will also bow out as Jac, with the actress leaving the show to focus on theatre commitments.
