Let’s make a dig into that.

Earlier, when season 2 of the show went off the air, it was not supposed to have a season 3. But a few days to the silence, Sally Wainwright couldn’t hold herself anymore and says:

“I’m delighted to find myself back in the world of Catherine Cawood and her family and colleagues for the final instalment of the Happy Valley trilogy, it’s been wonderful to see the lasting impact this series has had on audiences all over the world.”

However, the third season of Happy Valley will be the last one to air.

So, the Happy Valley season 3 renewal status is: Approved!

What Is Happy Valley Season 3 Release Date?

Now that we know for sure that Happy Valley season 3 is on the cards, the question arises, when the card is going to come out? When is the Happy Valley season 3 release date? When can we expect to watch the show?

Here is what we know about the Happy Valley season 3 release date:

As Fiferst already mentioned, Happy Valley season 3 will start the shooting and filming process “early in 2022”. Since we are already in 2022, there is not much time left for the shoot of the show to start.

Following that schedule, the Happy Valley season 3 release date can be in the middle of 2023 at the latest and the end of 2022, at the earliest.

And if the show comes out in late 2022, what can be better than that, right?

Is Happy Valley Season 3 Trailer Released?

As we mentioned earlier, the shooting of Happy Valley season 3 will begin in a few days. That would automatically mean that there is no content yet to create a season 3 trailer from.

The trailer for this British drama series would come out 6-8 weeks before the actual show would release.

So no, the Happy Valley season 3 trailer has not yet been released and viewers should not expect any trailer from the show before the end of this year, 2022 or 2023 beginning.

Meanwhile, why don’t you refresh your memory of season 2 with the Happy Valley season 2 trailer we have right here for you?
