Will there be another season of Happy Valley?

Yes - but not for a while. Series creator Sally Wainwright has said that while there definitely will be a third season of the BBC One show, she needs plenty of time to write it.

“Because I’m so busy with other projects at the moment, I haven’t had time to sit down and come up with other stories,” she said on BBC Breakfast last summer.

Star of Happy Valley, Sarah Lancashire, who is currently starring in Channel 4 drama Kiri, told Express.co.uk last year that she is looking forward to starting work on a third season.

The BAFTA-winner said: “It’s been a pretty long time now. I know she wants to do a third series but she’s so busy writing other stuff we’re kind of in a queue.“
