ITV’s head of drama, Polly Hill, commented: “We are delighted to be adapting more of Peter James’ wonderful novels. John Simm has brilliantly brought the much-loved Detective Superintendent Roy Grace to screen and there are many more cases for the audiences to enjoy.”
Lewis commented: “After the overwhelmingly positive audience response to the seaside noir of
Dead Simple, (tabloid trauma tales notwithstanding!) and
Looking Good Dead cued up ready to go, all at Team Roy Grace are delighted to have been given the opportunity by ITV to return to Brighton (and Hove, actually!) to continue Roy’s story with a new series of films based on Peter James best-selling novels.
