The third and final episode of the North East detective show’s most recent season aired on Sunday night, and was followed by a continuity announcement confirming more episodes next year.

Two feature-length episodes will be filmed this spring and will air in 2025.

Season thirteen of the hit programme is available to watch on ITV’s streaming service ITVx and features a number of North East locations.

The recent series followed a Christmas special that was filmed on Holy Island.

The confirmation of more Vera episodes was backed up by a post from Vera star Brenda Blethyn on social media site X, which addressed speculation over the return of the show.

Responding to a post that asked: “Why are lots here saying this is the last Vera? Have I missed something?," the actor posted: “It's not the last.”
