Vera, Season 13, has Brenda Blethyn once again playing super sleuth DCI Vera Stanhope, but now we see the return of actor and director David Leon as Joe Ashworth.
Brenda Blethyn says:
"Stepping back into Vera's shoes for the thirteenth series feels like coming home again. The support from the locals in the North East is truly heart-warming and reuniting with the talented David Leon and the rest of our exceptional team is an absolute delight. Together, we embark on this new chapter with a terrific script crafted by the brilliant Paul Matthew Thompson."
David Leon says:
"I’m thrilled to be returning to Vera. It's fantastic to be back in the North East and reunited with Brenda and the crew for the new series. I’m looking forward to exploring the relationship between Joe and Vera as they make up for lost time.”
Series 13 follows events after the Vera Christmas special, Vera: The Rising Tide, which aired on Boxing Day. The Vera cases in series 13 again draw inspiration from the best-selling novels and characters created by acclaimed crime writer Ann Cleeves. There are plenty of guests stars in all episodes.
The so-called "Christmas episode" which has already been shown, is part of this season. 1 + 3 = 4.
ReplyDeleteI've been waiting (im)patiently for episode 4 of season 13, only to just learn that there are only 3 episodes in seasons 13. Disappointed, yes, definitely! But to see that I can expect season 14 at some point in the future will keep me going. Vera is my favorite series of all time ... which is saying something since I'm in my mid-70s.
