Returning: Vera

Season 13 of Vera comes to ABC in April.

In January it was renewed for a fourteenth series.

DCI Vera Stanhope (Brenda Blethyn) is down on the market after a trader is found dead following a suspected hit and run. Who would want this loveable rogue dead?

Meanwhile, a familiar face is back on the scene. DCI Vera Stanhope (Brenda Blethyn) makes a return in the thirteenth series of Vera which is packed full of murderous intrigue across three exciting new episodes. Joe Ashworth (David Leon) makes a welcome return but is far from the sergeant Vera remembers. He’s been promoted to Detective Inspector and is firm that he’s not just a passenger in the Land Rover.

Also by her side, as are her intrepid and diligent team of detectives, Kenny (Jon Morrison), Mark (Riley Jones) and newcomer Steph (Rhiannon Clements). The vibrant, eager and brilliant Dr Paula Bennett (Sarah Kameela Impey) is also back on the scene and in the lab. Still excitable as ever and still referring to DCI Stanhope as “Vera” much to Vera’s annoyance.

Sunday, 7 April 8.30pm on ABC.
