When does Brassic series 3 start and how to watch on Sky and Now TV

Hit Sky comedy Brassic returns to screens in October for the eagerly-anticipated series 3.

And there's good news for fans of the northern comedy drama starring Joe Gilgun and Michelle Keegan, as it will run for eight episodes on Sky for the new series, instead of the previous six in series 1 and 2.

The hit comedy follows the exploits of Vinnie O'Neill (played by Gilgun) and his group of scally pals in the fictional town of Hawley in the north west of England as they hatch outrageous scams while wondering if there may well be more to life than this.

It will return to screens for series 3 on Sky Max from Wednesday, October 6 at 10pm, where it will air in this time-slot and channel for eight weeks.

But the good news for fans who like a binge watch, is that Sky will also be making all eight episodes available for download on Sky On Demand from October 6 as well.

The series will also air on the Sky Showcase channel, and will be available to subscribers of Now TV.

In further good news for fans, the cast and crew are all already hard at work filming for series 4 across Manchester and Lancashire.

In the last season of Brassic, fans were left with a huge cliff-hanger: What did Erin (played by Keegan) whisper to Vinnie before he got arrested?

The answer to this and much more will be revealed in season three, according to Sky.

Vinnie, freshly out of prison, is jubilant to be reunited with his gang of mates but dismayed to learn that he now has the newly promoted Detective Carl Slater watching his every move.

Vinnie knows he needs to keep out of trouble... but playing it safe has never been his strong point.

Soon he and his lifelong friends are back to their usual tricks with a hilarious new onslaught of wild and wonderful heists on the horizon.

Bigger, braver and more bonkers than ever, fans can expect a hectic world of bulls, snakes, kidnappings, betrayal and crazy stunts with series three.

When and where can I watch Brassic Series 3?

Brassic Series 3 launches on Sky Max from Wednesday October 6 at 10pm, and will air on the following Wednesdays at that time.

But all the episodes will be available to download on the Sky hub from that date to binge-watch the series if you prefer.

You can also watch the series on the Sky Showcase channel, and if you're a Now TV subscriber.
