Happy Valley fans convinced James Norton has ‘given away’ ending to show with ‘clue
HAPPY Valley fans are convinced that James Norton has ‘given away’ the ending to the show with a ‘clue’.
The crime drama TV series – which premiered back in 2014 – has become a huge fan favourite over the years.
A second series followed in 2016, and earlier this month the third instalment hit our screens.
Happy Valley follows hard-nosed police officer Catherine Cawood, who is left tackling issues involving her late daughter’s rapist Tommy Lee Royce.
But unfortunately the BBC has confirmed that this will be the final series of Happy Valley.
Actor James, who plays lead role Tommy Lee Royce in the show, may have let slip how the programme ends.
One fan tweeted earlier today: “Oooohhh I think James Norton just accidentally gave away a clue about the finale – when asked if the viewers would think it was a “satisfactory ending”, he said he thought they would! – So Catherine definitely won’t die – no-one would be OK with that #HappyValley #BBCRadio4.”
Another replied to their post with: I hope you are right! I think he probably does die though. That would be satisfactory.”
Fans were left devastated when it was revealed that this is the last ever series.
Executive producer Will Johnston previously said that series creator Sally Wainwright and star Sarah Lancashire had agreed that the show “would only return once more” for season three.
Speaking to Radio Times he said: “It definitely isn’t coming back – and again this is [from] Sally and Sarah who completely and rightly feel that you can have too much of a good thing.
“We’re really not doing any more. You’re a few weeks away from the ending but when you get to it, I really hope you’ll feel content that if that’s the last you ever see of the characters of Happy Valley, it was a big way to go out.”
“The two vital things are that Ryan (Rhys Connah) is now at an age to make his own decisions about his life and the relationships in it, and [Sarah’s character] Catherine’s on the brink of retirement, and those felt like such juicy things to explore.”
