ITV and BritBox’s long-running detective drama Vera is returning for an 11th season.
The announcement was made by star Brenda Blethyn at the Winter TCA Press Tour.
The show stars Blethyn as Detective Chief Inspector Vera Stanhope, a middle-aged employee of the Northumberland & City Police, who plods along in a disheveled state but has a calculating mind. The series is based on novels by crime writer Ann Cleeves.
The tenth season started airing on ITV on January 12 2020 and it airs on U.S. streaming service BritBox on January 21.
“We’re going to start working this year and you’ll see it next year,” said Blethyn. Exec producer Phil Hunter added, “Yes, there’ll be more Vera beyond series 10, which is fantastic news.”
This comes as the producers admitted to ambitions of remaking the evergreen series in the U.S. – following a long tradition of British cop shows being remade over the pond.
