ITV viewers thrilled as 'best show ever' is returning to screens

ITV viewers have been left thrilled by the news that the "best show ever" is returning to our screens.

Gritty crime drama Grace aired across two series in 2021 and 2022. John Simm plays the lead character, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace, with the programme based on the bestselling novels by Peter James.

The detective is based in Brighton, and the drama follows Grace as he investigates grisly murders. Series two wound to an end in May last year, with a shocking cliff-hanger, leaving fans desperate for more.

Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, Simm, 52, shared a couple of snaps from the show and said: "Grace 3 Coming soon… #deadlikeyou #deadmansgrip #notdeadyet".

Fans were clearly excited by the announcement, with many flocking to the comments section. Emma said: "YES! Best show ever", while Thiemo said: "Can't wait", and Emily added: "About time".

Tracey said: "Can’t wait loved it", while Josh simply said: "YESSSSSSSSS! [sic]. Julie said: "This is great news, hope it's out soon".

Previous series' of Grace have comprised of four 120 minute films. While the cast, other than Simm, has not yet been confirmed, fans will certainly expect Richie Campbell, who plays Glenn Branson, to return.

Other famous faces who appeared in season 2 include Zoe Tapper, who played Cleo, and Line of Duty star Craig Parkinson, who played Norman Potting.
