Happy Valley fans can get tickets to season 3 premiere – here's how
The BBC crime drama is returning for season 3 with a red carpet launch in Halifax.
Police sergeant Catherine Cawood will be returning to our screens soon in the long-awaited third season of Happy Valley and if you're struggling to wait for the BBC to reveal its official airdate, then you may be in luck – tickets are now available for the red carpet premiere next month.
Fans can apply for tickets to an exclusive screening of season 3's first episode in Halifax on Wednesday 14th December ahead of the show's BBC One debut, with creator Sally Wainwright and stars Sarah Lancashire, James Norton and Siobhan Finneran due to attend.
Speaking about the upcoming premiere, creator Wainwright said: "It's been brilliant getting back into Catherine's world for the final series of Happy Valley. I'm looking forward hugely to seeing Sarah, James and Siobhan in Halifax for the launch in December."
Last airing in 2016, Happy Valley's new season will see Lancashire reprise her role of Cawood as she discovers the remains of a gangland murder victim in a drained reservoir, sparking a chain of events that unwittingly leads her back to Tommy Lee Royce (Norton), the father of her grandson Ryan and her late daughter's rapist.
Despite approaching retirement, Catherine continues to battle the never-ending drug problem within her community whilst dealing with 16-year-old Ryan's ideas of forming a relationship with Royce, who she refuses to acknowledge as his father.
Wainwright told RadioTimes.com in an exclusive interview earlier this year that she chose to wait seven years to continue with Happy Valley as she wanted to wait for Ryan to be older.
"Everyone's back – all the characters you'd expect to see are back. We're seven years on," she said. "The plan was to wait for Ryan to be older so that he can make his own choices about whether he wants to have contact with his dad or not. So it really explores that."
