Sarah Lancashire, who starred in MotherFatherSon and Last Tango in Halifax, portrays police sergeant Catherine Cawood, whose teenage daughter Becky committed suicide. Ryan, the grandson of Becky and her rapist Royce, is being raised with her assistance. Other significant figures from the previous season are also coming back, such as James Norton’s Tommy Lee Royce, Siobhan Finneran’s Clare Cartwright, and Rhys Connah’s Ryan.
Neil, Clare’s boyfriend, will also be back, played by Con O’Neill, along with Ryan Cawood (Rhys Connah), Nevison Gallagher (George Costigan), Daniel Cawood (Karl Davies), Allison Garrs (Susan Lynch), Mike Taylor (Rick Warden), Charlie Murphy (Ann Gallagher), Richard Cawood (Derek Riddell), and Andy Shepherd (Vincent Franklin).

Why Was Happy Valley Season 3 Delayed?
Wainwright explained in July 2019 that there was a substantial reason for the lengthy break, as Ryan (Rhys Connah), Becky’s son and Catherine’s grandson, needed to mature before the next installment of the series.

“Basically we’re kind of waiting for the little boy to grow up, so he’s more of a teenager than a child,” she said. And, as for the long break between seasons 2 and 3: “That’s always been the plan. We never intended to do it again straight away.”
Wainwright is also working on a tonne of other TV ideas. Since the last episode of Happy Valley aired, she has written and produced the television series Last Tango in Halifax as well as the upcoming show Gentleman Jack.
