Brenda Blethyn has offered assurances to a Vera fan who was very keen to know when the show will be back, as other viewers continue to seek answers as to why the last two episodes of the most recent series still haven't been on.
Brenda has been spending a lot of time in the North East so far, as she and co-stars like Kenny Doughty and Riley Jones film scenes for the next series of the hit ITV drama, which has now been a screen for over a decade. They've been spotted on set in the likes of Wallsend, Darlington and Morpeth over the last few months, before Brenda joined Ann Cleeves, the author responsible for bringing DCI Stanhope to life, at a special sold out Viva Viva event at Playhouse Whitley Bay in early September.
Brenda has posted about filming the new series on numerous occasions on her social media channels but one fan clearly hadn't spotted any series as they tagged Brenda, Kenny and Riley in a tweet which read: "Is there going to be another season of Vera? I need to know." The lead actress was quick to respond, with her answer revealing that Vera had reached the landmark of 50 episodes.
