Grace | Series 3 Preview (ITV1)

John Simm will reprise his role as Brighton-based Detective Superintendent Roy Grace, for a new series of ITV1 crime drama Grace.

Grace is an adaptation of international, bestselling author Peter James’ awardwinning novels, with over 21 million Grace novels having been sold to date. Episodes one and three will be written by Ben Court and Caroline Ip, with Ed Whitmore writing the second episode.

Starring Richie Campbell as DS Glenn Branson, Zoë Tapper as Cleo Morey and Craig Parkinson as DS Norman Potting, the new series will comprise three feature length films (3 x 120 mins).

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.

Grace returns Sunday 19th March at 8pm on ITV1.
