BBC Death Valley writer drops Series 3 hint: 'We want to kill more people'

BBC Death Valley writer drops Series 3 hint: 'We want to kill more people' follows the end of Death Valley’s second season and the uncertainty around a potential third. The six-part series concludes Sunday evening, June 21, with storyline developments including Janie Mallowan (Gwyneth Keyworth) clashing with her partner John Chapel (Timothy Spall) after learning he has a relationship with her mother, Yvonne (Melanie Walters). The season also features Janie’s estranged father, Michael (Owen Teale). Speaking to Express, Spall said he hopes the BBC returns for another run but noted the competition and funding realities of a public broadcaster. Writer Paul Doolan said the show is not yet commissioned again, but added that he “definitely” wants to write more, using a quoted line about killing more people, as he described remaining creative fuel. Both emphasized they are still awaiting decisions about recommissioning.
