Is ‘Ridley' returning for season 3? Everything we know so far

By Aman Shukla Published on July 21, 2025, 20:00 IST Last updated July 21, 2025, 14:02 IST If you're a fan of Ridley , the British crime drama starring Adrian Dunbar as the brooding, jazz-loving ex-detective Alex Ridley, you're probably wondering: is there going to be a third season? After Season 2 wrapped up on PBS in November 2024, viewers have been buzzing with questions about the show's future. Here's everything we know so far about Ridley season 3. A Quick Recap of Ridley For those new to the show, Ridley follows Alex Ridley, a retired detective inspector who's pulled back into police work after a heartbreaking personal loss—his wife and daughter died in a fire. He's not your typical cop; he's got a knack for solving tricky cases and a side gig singing soulful tunes at a jazz club. Alongside his former colleague DI Carol Farman (played by Bronagh Waugh), Ridley tackles murders and mysteries in the moody landscapes of northern England. The show, which kicked off on ITV in August 2022, has hooked fans with its mix of gritty crime stories and Ridley's personal struggles. Season 2, which aired in the US on PBS starting September 15, 2024, brought more intense cases—a jewelry heist gone wrong, a missing person with dark secrets, and more. It also gave us deeper insight into Ridley's life, especially his budding romance with jazz club owner Annie Marling (Julie Graham). But with Season 2 done, all eyes are on whether ITV will greenlight another chapter. Is Season 3 Happening? As of July 2025, ITV hasn't officially said yes or no to Ridley Season 3. No confirmation, but no cancellation either. If you've been following British shows for a while, you know this isn't unusual—ITV often takes its time with renewals, especially for dramas like Ridley . Shows like Vera or Endeavour have had long gaps between seasons, so there's still hope. One wrinkle is that Season 2 hasn't aired in the UK yet. It dropped in the US first, which is a bit of a switch-up from how things usually go. ITV might be waiting to see how UK viewers react before deciding on a third season. That could push any news to late 2025 or even 2026. What To Expect In Ridley Season 3? If we're lucky enough to get more Ridley , expect more dark, twisty cases set in those rainy, atmospheric northern towns. Maybe Ridley digs into an old case from his past, or the team tackles something modern, like a shady tech scam. Fans online are begging for more screen time for side characters like Darren or Paul, which could shake things up. And yeah, we'd probably get more of Ridley singing—some folks love it, some roll their eyes, but it's part of the show's soul.

Karen Pirie season 2 release schedule: When is the next episode on?

She's back! It's been three years since we last saw Lauren Lyle don her detective cap and star in drama Karen Pirie, but she's now officially returned to the crime drama series with the first episode of the second season dropping last night. The three-part series is an adaptation of Val McDermid's crime novels and features Lauren as the titular character Karen Pirie as she goes about solving cold cases in Fife, Scotland. This time around she's solving the case of an oil heiress Cat Grant who was kidnapped along with her small son from a fish and chip shop back in 1984. And as we gear up for another gripping, heart racing and mind boggling series, this is everything you need to know about when the next episode of Karen Pirie is on. Following the show's debut in 2022, there has been a three year gap since the first season and now the second season has begun in 2025. The first episode of the second series was released at 8pm on 20 July. There will be three two hour long episodes in this season, just like the first. Each Sunday evening for the next two weeks there will be a new episode of Karen Pirie on at 8pm. Yes, be sure to note that it is on at 8pm and not 9pm like other ITV dramas, this is because the episodes are two hours long, rather than the standard 1 hour. Alternatively if you can't wait a whole week to find out the latest development in Cat's case then you'll be pleased to know all three episodes of the new series are available to stream on ITVX. Want to watch it weekly? Here's when to mark your calendars for the upcoming episodes: Karen Pirie season 2 is available on ITV1 and ITVX
