ITV Grace series three: episodes, full cast, start date and time

A gritty ITV crime show based on award-winning novels is returning to our screens for a third series.

Grace aired across two seasons. John Simm is back to play the lead character, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace, with the programme having been hailed the "best show ever" by ITV viewers.

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