Viewers are gearing up to say their goodbyes to the much-loved detective series Vera, but many have found themselves captivated by a new ITV drama. The latest show has stirred buzz on social media with its “big twist” and boasts a stellar cast including Joanne Froggatt of Liar and Downton Abbey fame.
It’s set to be an end of an era for ITV next week when Vera, starring Brenda Blethyn, airs its final episodes after a 14-year run. The concluding season will premiere on Wednesday, January 1, leaving fans around the globe nostalgic.
The earlier announcement that Vera would come to a close shocked its dedicated audience, especially as the final 14th season consists of just two parts, sparking further disappointment among its followers.
With the finale of Vera now imminent, less than a week out, the anticipation builds for the last episode, ‘The Dark Wives’, which will broadcast just one day following the first episode, titled ‘Inside’.
