Happy Valley will come to an end for good on Sunday, February 5. After three seasons and a six-year hiatus the police drama starring Sarah Lancashire as Catherine Cawood, James Norton as Tommy Lee Royce and Siobhan Finneran as Clare Cartwright, will officially say goodbye to its fans.
Whatever fills the police drama's spot on BBC One at 9pm on Sunday nights has big boots to fill given the outpouring of love Happy Valley, written by Sally Wainwright, has received since it kicked off on New Year's Day. And it looks like fans of BBC drama and thrillers are in for a treat, as bosses have confirmed what will air in the 9pm slot on Sunday, February 12.
The Gold is the brand new drama attempting to fill the hole Happy Valley will no doubt leave behind. It has a star-studded cast list including Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey, Paddington 1 and 2), Jack Lowden (Small Axe: Mangrove, Slow Horses), Dominic Cooper (The Preacher, The Devil’s Double), Charlotte Spencer (The Duke, Cinderella), and Tom Cullen (Becoming Elizabeth, Black Mirror).
