The British crime drama, Hope Street made its debut on BBC One North Ireland in November 2021 and was a smash hit among audiences in just its first five episodes. Viewers appreciated the series for its relatable characters and gripping plotlines. Its quick renewal for season 2 in April 2022 is a testimony to the fact that the show built its dedicated fan base. With the second part on air, fans eagerly await future episodes of the crime show. Unfortunately, the future of the show remains in the dark as of now. However, since the series has gained a larger audience through spreading its way on platforms like BBC one and Britbox International, the possibility of a season three is high. With that hope and optimism, here’s everything we must know about season three of Hope Street:
Whether Hope Street is confirmed for a third installment?
As aforementioned, neither the show makers nor the network has officially given a green light for a new season. And it is too early to get the confirmations because its next edition has just landed on the screens and has not finished its 10-episode run yet. Thus, we should wait a while until the renewal announcement arrives.
Hope street Season three Release date: When might it air?
We will have an idea about the series’ release date following an official statement confirming its return. Until then, your guess is just as good as yours.
We shall be in a better position to anticipate its airing date after the S3 announcement is made. Moreover, fans should be in for a wait because presently, everyone including the viewers and cast is fully invested in S2 which is premiering its episodes every week.
Hope street Season three Plotline: What might it be like?
Hope Street consists of standalone episodes that intermingle crime mysteries with the personal lives of characters. Every season, viewers have experienced a breath of fresh air with its inaugural run introducing us to Laila who has been transferred to Northern Ireland on a secret mission while the new episodes bring a mix of old and new faces to continue the crime mysteries.
What S3 would be like depends upon how the creators plan to wrap up things in the running installment. But one thing is sure the seaside town will unfold a mix of unexpected drama and intrigue in its future episodes.
Hope Street Season 3 Cast: Who might return?
The void left behind in S2 by Laila’s departure was filled by DC AL Quinn. However, there is no denying that our heart still aches to see Amara Karan playing out Laila in the picturesque town of Port Devine. In S2, Stephen Hagan joined the series as DC Al Quinn. Aside from the new lead cast, the series also features the following:
PC Callum McCarthy as Niall Wright.
Sergeant Marlene Pettigrew as Kerri Quinn.
Clint Dunwoody as Aaron McCusker.
Nicole Devine as Niamh McGrady.
Concepta O’Hare as Brid Brennan.
Inspector Finn O’Hare as Ciaran McMenamin.
Eddie McNulty is played as Seamus O’Hara.
As of now, there is no concrete cast information for the third season. But we expect most, if not all of the original series cast to make a comeback for another outing.
Paul Marquess has created and also executive-produced the crime drama alongside Donna Wiffen for two seasons.
The drama is filmed in the small town of Donaghadee, New Ireland. Fans have seen the lighthouse, the ports, and the seaside community in its previous 2 seasons.
Seasons 1-2 of Hope Street are currently streaming on BBC Northern Ireland, BBC One, and Britbox. Go and catch up while you update this space with more solid details about Season three.
Will Hope Street Return With Season 3 in 2023?
(updated 5/4/2023)
It’s been five months since the second season was released and till now there’s been no official renewal announcement. It might be because the makers and cast members are busy filming for the new season or they might be on a short break. If we look at the release timeline between the first and the second season, it took about five months for season 2 to get renewed and another seven months to release season two of Hope Street. So if the makers follow the same time frame, they might make an announcement in the coming days or weeks. Followed by the release of the much awaited third season towards the end of 2023.
