Happy Valley Plot and Cast
Coming to the plot, there is a possibility that Ryan will finally get to know more about Tommy and the things he is capable of. Moreover, he raped Ryan’s mother, Catherine’s daughter, eventually leading to her pregnancy and taking her own life.
With retirement on the horizon, we will get to see if she would make out of the force alive. In all these years, what we have learned from movies is that a police officer’s most dangerous case is the one last job they do before their retirement.
The third season of Happy Valley will witness the return of Sarah Lancashire as Cawood and James Norton as Tommy Lee Royce. We might get to see Amit Shah, Mark Stanley and Mollie Winnard. Other cast members who are expected to return include Con O’Neill, George Costigan, Charlie Murphy, Derek Riddell, Karl Davies, Susan Lynch, Rick Warden, Vincent Franklin and Rhys Connah.
