‘Grace’ series 3 arrives this month on ITV – watch the trailer – Entertainment Focus

Hit crime drama ‘Grace’ is returning to ITV this month and the trailer has just been released.

John Simm reprises his role as Brighton-based Detective Superintendent Roy Grace along with Richie Campbell as DS Glenn Branson. ‘Grace’ is an adaptation of Peter James’ award-winning novels and the new series features three feature-length films.

The cast also includes Zoë Tapper as Cleo Morey, Craig Parkinson as DS Norman Potting and Laura Elphinstone as DS Bella Moy.

As East Sussex police bid farewell to ACC Alison Vosper, the announcement of her replacement is not welcome news for Grace. Shaken by the recent sighting of Sandy, Roy attempts to get closer to the truth while trying to move forward with Cleo, as he is drawn into three sinister investigations.

A chilling serial offender from Grace’s past, a road traffic accident which unleashes a web of vengeance and a shocking murder attempt on the Brighton music scene, all test Grace’s skill as past and present collide for Roy, forcing him to confront old memories and learn from previous mistakes.

The synopsis for film 1, ‘Dead Like You’, is:

A chilling event at the Royal Edward hotel on the night of Assistant Chief Constable, Alison Vosper’s leaving do forces Grace and Branson into a difficult position when they must investigate all hotel guests, including high ranking East Sussex police attendees.

Something about the incident is causing a deep unease in Grace – he knows he’s seen this before. Has a sinister offender from Grace’s past dubbed the Brighton Prowler resurfaced or is this a copycat?

As the attacks continue, Grace is convinced it’s the same man – and delving into the past may be the key to saving the next victim.

‘Grace’ series 3 begins Sunday 19th March at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
