Fans were surprised as the final series of Vera was released early on ITVX, just hours before its scheduled TV airing.
Newcastle: So, guess what happened? Vera fans were totally caught off guard when the first episode of the final series dropped on ITVX way earlier than expected. It was like a surprise gift on a Wednesday morning!
Everyone’s been buzzing about how the show is wrapping up after 14 amazing years. It’s been a real favorite in the UK, and fans from all over the world have been waiting to see how it all ends.
They filmed the last series all over the North East, from Blyth to Gateshead and even in the charming village of Glanton. Brenda Blethyn and the crew really made the most of those beautiful locations.
The latest episode, called Inside, is still set to air tonight at 8 PM on ITV, with another episode, The Dark Wives, coming the next night. But hey, some lucky viewers got to watch it early!
Normally, you have to wait for the TV broadcast before you can stream it, but this time, ITVX let fans dive in nearly 12 hours ahead of schedule. Talk about a treat!
One excited fan even tweeted about how much they loved seeing the cast back together, saying they watched it early and thought it was fantastic. Others are still looking forward to the regular airing, planning to catch it tonight and tomorrow.
There’s definitely a mix of excitement and nostalgia in the air. Fans are already saying how much they’ll miss the show once it’s over. And let’s be real, who doesn’t love a good mystery with Vera?
Plus, there’s a new character joining the mix, Superintendent Khalon, played by Shobna Gulati. And Kevin Whately is back as a retired detective, which is a nice touch!
So, mark your calendars! Vera airs tonight at 8 PM on ITV, and it’s bound to be a memorable ride.
