If you are also a lover of this series then let me tell you that good news regarding season 3 has arrived. So, here is what we have discovered –
Has ITV Announced The Bay Season 3 Release Date?
The Sun has disclosed that the series has got a green signal for its third run. Moreover, the filming of the season has already started. The shooting of the crime thriller begun in March 2021 which means that we can get a chance to see season 3 before the end of this year. The popular and successful series will again commence in Morecambe, but, there is one drastic modification that we will get to see in The Bay Season 3 episodes.
Morven Christie who portrayed the main character of Lisa Armstrong has declared that she is no more part of the series. Cobra actress Marsha Thomason has taken her position. Now, she will play the Morecambe CID’s new Family Liaison Officer, DS Jenn Townsend. Another update is that the script of The Bay Season 3 has been again prepared by the Award-winning Daragh Carville and Furquan Akhtar.
Now, if we talk about The Bay Season 3 release date no details have been revealed by the showrunners. But if filming goes as per the plan then season 3 won’t take much time to arrive. Many trusted sources like Radiotimes are claiming that season 3 can hit screens by the last quarter of 2021. I think that’s great news for the fans of the show.
How Will The Bay Season 3 Plot Be?
We can get to see a fresh crime with Townsend on the case as her forerunner has left. She will go through obstacles while doing her job on the beginning day when she meets a complex family. Townsend will make efforts to support the family after the demise of the juvenile boxer and will find out answers for them. At the same time, she will also put her efforts to show her skills to seniors.
To turn conditions worse, she is going to have private topics which she expects the move to Morecambe will help her with but a new beginning looks complicated. The Bay has been compared with ITV popular series Broadchurch, so they can be more evasive suspects to be examined. As Daragh Carville has made the script of The Bay Season 3, it will surely have shocking revelations and firing twists.
ITV’s chief of show Polly Hill mentioned the latest progress, “We are delighted with the audiences’ response to The Bay and look forward to them meeting DS Jenn Townsend played by the fantastic Marsha Thomason, who joins the team in series three.”
