ITV drama The Bay has been officially renewed for a fourth season, with DS Jenn Townsend set to return for another coastal-set mystery.<\/p>\n

The Bay season 3 concluded on Wednesday night, with viewers finally learning the truth about the suspicious death of aspiring local boxer Saif Rahman.<\/p>\n

The new season marked Marsha Thomason\u2019s debut as the new star of the drama series, taking on the role of incoming family liaison officer DS Jenn Townsend, who inherits the troubled patch previously overseen by DS Lisa Armstrong (Morven Christie), who led the cast of the previous two seasons.<\/p>\n

ITV\u2019s Head of Drama Polly Hill said of season 4: \u201cI\u2019m delighted that we will be returning to Morecambe for another series of The Bay. Marsha Thomason delivered a brilliant performance as DS Jenn Townsend, and it will be exciting to see where Daragh takes her character in series 4. Thanks to everyone at Tall Story Pictures for creating and continuing to deliver such a distinctive series.\u201d<\/p>\n

Catherine Oldfield, Executive Producer of Tall Story Pictures, added: \u201cWe are delighted at how The Bay audiences have taken to new FLO, DS Jenn Townsend, played by the brilliant Marsha Thomason and how Jenn\u2019s arrival and her personal storyline has breathed new energy into the show\u2026 We can\u2019t wait to get going on the new series.\u201d<\/p>\n
