The Bay fans campaign for third series after string of unanswered questions in cliff-hanger finale

THE Bay fans are campaigning for a third series after a string of unanswered questions in series two’s cliff-hanger finale.

Series two found Lisa Armstrong – played by Morven Christie in the ITV drama – suspended from her role as a family liaison officer after she concealed evidence around the death of a teenager in series one.

Lisa returned to work, but in a demoted role, which had a knock on effect with her finances and being able to afford her house.

She soon finds herself caught up in another murder after a man is shot dead on his own doorstep.

Meanwhile, her ex-husband Andy reappears on the scene and with Lisa being in a vulnerable position, she ends up taking him back before realising at the end of the series that her decision was a mistake.

The series ends with a number of questions unanswered, one of the biggest being who killed Lisa’s colleague Med, after he was knocked down by a mystery assailant in a car.

A third tweeted: “Just finished binge watching series 2 of #TheBay on ITV Hub. So, so good. Excellent character development, lots of twists and turns, some fabulous performances. Hoping there’s a third series!”

Thankfully their calls have been answered, as The Sun exclusively revealed that ITV recommissioned the crime drama for a third series and will start filming in the summer.

It will film between March and July in the North West with pre-production well underway in Manchester already.

The Bay airs tonight at 9pm on ITV with the first two series available on ITV Hub.
