Vera (new & exclusive to BritBox)
Season 12
Thursday 23 March
She’s back! BAFTA- and Golden Globe-winning actress Brenda Blethyn returns for a 12th outing as the unorthodox but brilliant DCI Vera Stanhope in four new feature-length episodes of the hit crime drama. Set against the atmospheric landscapes of the breathtaking Northumberland countryside, this BritBox favourite is inspired by the best-selling novels and characters created by acclaimed author Ann Cleeves.
In each of the self-contained crime stories, Vera and her team investigate complex cases, unravel mysteries and uncover secrets that sometimes stray a little too close to home. She may be unglamorous, but Vera faces the world with caustic wit, and what she lacks in charm she more than makes up for in wisdom and insight. Blethyn recently received the Rose d’Or Lifetime Achievement Award for her many iconic roles, including playing the title role in Vera, and all previous seasons are available to binge on BritBox.
