Fans of ITV\u2019s Vera<\/a> can\u2019t wait for their favourite Northumbrian detective to return to our screens. And while two new episodes are airing over the Bank Holiday, Brenda Blethyn has teased what\u2019s to come from the rest of series 11.<\/p>\n

The upcoming series, which will see Vera take on another set of cases, is being split into two halves, with two episodes airing in 2021 and the remaining four episodes arriving on ITV in 2022.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the 2022 episodes, Blethyn said that fans can expect to see \u201csome lovely seaside locations\u201d and hinted at some of the storylines to come.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the four new films is As The Crow Flies by Sally Abbott, which includes some lovely seaside locations. A teacher is found on a very remote part of the coastline. She had made what is thought to be an exaggerated claim to social services about child protection.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we have all sorts of suspects rearing their heads. She\u2019s a farmer\u2019s wife, so there are farmland settings as well. Vera\u2019s got her Mac back on for that one!\u201d<\/p>

Blethyn, who has starred as DCI Vera Stanhope in the ITV drama for more than 10 years, will be back in the series\u2019 first film, Witness, on Sunday 29th August, with Vera investigating the death of a builder who was due to give evidence in a trial that morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe guest cast includes the wonderful Lorraine Ashbourne, who plays the victim\u2019s estranged wife Barbara. Almost everyone could be a suspect,\u201d Blethyn reveals.<\/p>\n

\u201cVera also notices that Aiden, played by Kenny Doughty, has been a \u2018bit off\u2019 recently and wonders what\u2019s going on with him. She soon discovers what it\u2019s all about and tells him to sort it out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vera season 11 will start at 8pm on Sunday 29th August on ITV. To find out what else is on, check out our TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0or visit our dedicated Drama<\/a> hub.
