The creator of The Fall has announced that he expects the BBC Two thriller to return for a third season.

Starring Gillian Anderson (The X-Files) and Jamie Dornan (Fifty Shades of Grey), Season 2 concluded on BBC Two last month, but a recommission has not yet been confirmed.

Cubitt told HitFix: “We’re in a situation where I’m very confident there will be a third season. But because of internal BBC situation at the moment, it hasn’t been officially announced.”

He added: “I think the story can continue, but I’ll have to reserve judgment on that, I think, until I get the green light and the go-ahead.”

The writer also revealed that he is unenthusiastic about the prospect of a US remake, commenting: “I think there’s probably still sort of, maybe, interest [in a remake] out there. I think maybe after the second season, there might be more. I’m not quite sure why you would remake The Fall, particularly for the American market.”
