Spied some recent news on two acclaimed Euro-dramas Happy Valley and The Bridge and whether both will continue.
Happy Valley has just concluded its second season in the UK, which is yet to come in Australia. It will debut on BBC First.
Writer Sally Wainwright told BBC Breakfast that her busy schedule means it’s hard to find time to work on new storylines.​
“I’m so busy with other projects at the moment – I haven’t got time to sit down and come up with the stories,” she said.
“What I’d hate to do is do a third series and people say it wasn’t as good. So I want time to go away and really come up with stories that I think are going to make a third series.”
Never say never, I guess.
Meanwhile, The Bridge creator Hans Rosenfeldt told Norwegian newspaper, Dagbladet, there was some hope for a fourth season, but also not for a while.
“Everyone is very busy and they need space in their calendars to do it,” he said of the cast.
“But it’s going to be realised. I can almost promise it, but I cannot say when. We must try not to wait too long, it will probably not be in 2017 but maybe in 2018.”

Happy Valley is an excellent programme, slightly off topic, David have you heard when we will get the line of duty series 3? thanks
I see that the second series of Happy Valley is now on the U.S. Netflix,for those lucky enough to have that service.Great series.
I also love both these shows, especially The Bridge.
Really hope they both return.
But, gee, such a long time between drinks for both, especially if we have to wait till 2018 for The Bridge.
That is, if they eventuate at all..
I already miss my weekly fix of Saga.
I notice BBC First has confirmed Happy Valley for May, so I have updated. I presume ABC will be waiting until 2017.
I’m not really sure I understand – Happy Valley s2 was on in February in the UK. Is there a BBC First channel on Foxtel that will air it prior to ABC airing?
Sorry, just remembered there is a new dangled thing called ‘Google’ so I could look up the answer! Yes Foxtel do have BBC First channel ?
*fangled
Good stuff. Enjoyed S1 of Happy Valley and thought S3 of The Bridge was better than S2.
Hopefully in the next series of Happy Valley they learn to speak more clearly and not mumble. Subtitles would be a help with the accent also.
Thanks for update David. I love both these shows. Just the other day I was searching the internet to find out if The Bridge would be renewed. Season 3 of The Bridge is soooooo good.
