    Episode 2/6

    16th February


    While she remains a suspect in the Lynn Dewhurst investigation, Catherine focuses on a human trafficking case.

    Following a successful police raid, Catherine ensures all the women are taken to safe houses. Ilinka, who has vital information on those behind the trafficking, is given refuge with Catherine’s neighbour Winnie and reluctantly agrees to speak to the police. But has Catherine inadvertently put her in danger?

    As Vicky's threats continue, John struggles to get a handle on the murder case. Feeling under pressure at work and at home he takes drastic measures to save both his marriage and reputation.

    When Tommy is granted special leave to attend his mother’s funeral, Catherine has an inexplicable compulsion to attend - bringing him face to face with him once more. Meanwhile Clare, feeling vulnerable at Helen’s funeral, turns to an old friend for comfort.

    Paying the price of attending Lynn Dewhurst’s funeral, Catherine is ordered to undergo a course of therapy or face medical retirement. Still unable to provide an alibi, Joyce offers a helping hand - but will Catherine take it?

    John takes drastic measures to stage Vicky’s murder, while his already-fragile marriage continues to deteriorate. Meanwhile, Ann throws herself into work following her mother’s death, Clare receives some unsettling news from Ryan and Catherine continues to look out for Ilinka, as a development in the human trafficking case comes to a head.

    Happy Valley WILL return for series 3 says writer Sally Wainwright

    But in the meantime, she's working on an idea for a TV musical


    Acclaimed police drama Happy Valley WILL return for a third series, writer Sally Wainwright confirmed today.

    Wainwright said that the series – which stars Sarah Lancashire as Sergeant Catherine Cawood – will return for a third run, but not immediately.

    Speaking at the Edinburgh Television Festival, Wainwright was asked by her interviewer, former Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies, if her drama would come back following months of speculation among fans over its future.

    She said: “It will happen but it will be a little while. I have got some good ideas.”

    Up until now Wainwright had declined to confirm whether there would be a third series, saying that she needed to work out where the story would go next.

    In the meantime, she's got plenty to keep her busy, eschewing the bleak tone of Happy Valley to work on an idea for a musical for television, although she declined to reveal any more details:

    “It’s on the way. It’s an idea I have got for the screen that I am hoping to get away."

    Acclaimed BBC1 police drama Happy Valley will not be returning until the end of 2018, executive producer Nicola Shindler revealed today.
    Shindler, whose company Red Productions makes the drama, said Happy Valley writer Sally Wainwright is working on another project for BBC1, which partly explains the delay in bringing the show back.
    She wouldn’t say what the new drama was, but did reveal at a Broadcasting Press Guild lunch on Wednesday that there were also creative reasons for waiting on a third series of Happy Valley.
    Shindler also said that Sarah Lancashire was keen to reprise her role as Sergeant Catherine Cawood despite rumours that she had been unenthusiastic about a return.
    “We are working on a new idea for Sally for BBC1 which will be next year so the earliest Happy Valley would be would be towards the end of 2018 I would suspect.
    “She won’t write the [Happy Valley] scripts for some time but Sally’s determined to do it, Sarah’s determined to do it.”
    Shindler suggested that the third series of Happy Valley would need to wait to allow the character of Ryan to grow up. The young son of Catherine's sister was conceived by a rape perpetrated by the chief villain Royce, played by James Norton.
    “Sally is thinking about a story and the story she is thinking about literally needs time. Because if you look at the characters that are left, there is Sarah, there is James Norton and there is a young boy, who the minute he turns into a teenager it becomes a much more interesting story.
    "She doesn’t know what the story is yet. She is mulling it in her head but we are thinking about giving it a bit of space in story terms.”
