Sherwood season 3 will be the final series, creator says

Creator James Graham says Sherwood will end with season 3, which is expected to air in January or February 2027.

The British crime drama is set around Nottingham and first aired in 2022.

It draws on the 2004 miners’ strikes and later murders around Nottingham.

Graham said the new season has been filmed and edited, and will be the show’s final chapter.

Returning cast members include David Morrissey, Lesley Manville and Lorraine Ashbourne, while Rosalie Craig and Joe Dempsie join the cast.

The season follows a new family facing trauma and is set six months after the previous season.

The final season will air on BBC One and iPlayer, though an exact release date has not been announced.
