Executive producer Nicola Shindler commented: “Scott & Bailey has been such a phenomenal success and we’re thrilled to be revisiting the characters. A third series really gives us the scope to explore another raft of great stories as we’re constantly thinking about how we can develop the characters. The fact Scott & Bailey has become so successful is very rewarding for Sally [Wainwright] and our production team.”
