As the acclaimed ITV detective series Vera draws to a close, fans have become captivated by a new drama starring Joanne Froggatt of Liar and Downton Abbey fame, with many taking to social media to express their shock at the “big twist” in the show that boasts an illustrious cast led by Joanne.
The final curtain is set to fall on Vera next week, marking an end of an era for ITV, the production team, and legions of dedicated fans globally, as the final season of the series piloted by Brenda Blethyn debuted on Wednesday, January 1, after running for 14 successful years.
Earlier this year, viewers were stunned to learn that Vera would be concluding, and sentiments were further dampened upon discovering that the 14th and concluding season would consist of merely two episodes.
Consequently, audiences are now bracing themselves for the imminent finale of Vera, with the two-hour long final episode, The Dark Wives, broadcasting just one day after the premiere episode, Inside.
