Retrieved 19 January 2014.Ryan’s latest catchphrase, “Revenge is a dish best served cold”, acquired new resonance now that Catherine knew who he had been visiting. Cut to Tommy in his cell, smirking and scheming. He might soon be up in court for another murder but Royce chillingly “forgave” the prison chaplain who had informed on him. Besides, he had other matters in mind – namely, staging a scuffle in the canteen to distract guards so he could surreptitiously take a smuggled phone. Filming began in the Calder Valley in November 2013. [6] [7] Locations in the area included Todmorden, Luddenden, Mytholmroyd, Bradford, Keighley, Sowerby Bridge, Hebden Bridge, and Heptonstall.

Watch Happy ValleySeason 3 on Foxtel Now Although the show is well written, its main selling point is that it revolves around two standout performances. As Norman, Freddie Highmore does a terrific job of foreshadowing the monster he will eventually become (taxidermy, anyone?) while remaining sweet and sympathetic throughout. He brings a classmate flowers when her father ends up in hospital, but he is also becoming aware that there is something wrong with him. "Sometimes you hear and you see things that aren't there," explains Norma. "It's like some kind of trance or something." The two vital things are that Ryan Cawood, (played by Rhys Connah), is now at an age to make his own decisions about his life and the relationship he has in it, and Catherine’s (Sarah Lancashire) is on the brink of retirement, and those felt like such juicy things to explore.”

A second series was commissioned on 18 August 2014. Filming began in August 2015, and the first episode was broadcast on 9 February 2016. [10] The second series was written by Wainwright, produced by Lewis, and directed by Lyn and Wainwright. [11] Catherine's workplace is a former police station in Sowerby Bridge, and her home and local pub (two other main filming locations) are based in Hebden Bridge. The prison scenes were filmed at Oakham Enterprise Park in Rutland, which was HMP Ashwell until its closure. The police based BBC drama has earnt itself an army of fans who couldn't contain their excitement as no-nonsense police Sergeant Catherine Cawood, played by ex-Coronation Street star Sarah Lancashire, returned to our screens once more. What sounds like a standard crime drama is elevated by Wainwright's refusal to paint characters in easy and recognisable colours. When his request for a payrise is turned down, accountant Kevin Weatherill (Steve Pemberton) hatches a plan to kidnap his boss's daughter, with the help of a group of local villains, including Royce. Cawood, played with steely obsession by Lancashire, clearly equates the kidnapped girl with her own daughter: she lost one, she's not going to lose another. In Halifax, West Yorkshire, Catherine Cawood is a divorced police sergeant with two children. She is still trying to recover from the suicide of her daughter, which happened eight years ago. Catherine is raising her grandson, Ryan, who was born due to her daughter being raped by Tommy Lee Royce. Just when it seems like Catherine is gaining control over her life, she discovers that Tommy, whom she holds responsible for her daughter's suicide, has been released from prison after serving time for other offences. Catherine becomes consumed by the idea of confronting him, unaware that Tommy is involved in a criminal organisation with the intention of kidnapping Anne Gallagher, the daughter of a wealthy businessman, for ransom.The first episode aired on 29 April 2014 at 21:00, receiving 8.64million viewers, as the second most watched show of the week (commencing 28 April 2014) for BBC One. [12] The BBC reported that the show received an average consolidated audience of 8.21million viewers over six episodes and an additional 8.1million requests for the show on BBC iPlayer. [13] Radio Times called Happy Valley a "word-of-mouth hit" which "steadily became a success outside the normal audience for the slot and channel." [14] In October 2020, Wainwright confirmed that there would be a third series and that she was in the "early stages" of writing it. Filming for the third series began in January 2022.

After another distressing assault – no wonder their traumatised daughter never takes her coat off – Joanna was understandably desperate to escape the monstrous Rob. She pleaded with her lover-cum-diazepam dealer, Faisal Bhatti (Amit Shah), to make good on a vague promise to set her up in a flat. Happy Valley fans were delighted when the hugely anticipated third and final series returned to our screens on New Years Day after an almost seven year hiatus.Happy Valley to premiere exclusively on Netflix in the U.S. and Canada".
