ITV has confirmed a January 2022 release date for The Bay season three, which features a brand new lead character: DS Jenn Townsend.

The broadcaster previously released its first-look image of season three earlier this year, featuring its new lead star Marsha Thomason (COBRA).

The coastal-set crime drama The Bay embarked on filming for season three back in March 2021. Star Morven Christie (who played lead character Lisa Armstrong) previously announced she is leaving the show, and has been replaced the COBRA actress.

The hit crime drama’s third series will still be set once again in Morecambe, but this time around Thomason will play Morecambe CID’s new Family Liaison Officer, DS Jenn Townsend, alongside those cast members reprising their roles from The Bay season two.
