London Kills season 3 set up
There’s no messing around when BBC One's police procedural, London Kills, returns with a third outing. The previous series ended with the cold-blooded killing of Grace Harper, a witness in police protection connected to a top-secret undercover case.
Although the new series picks up ten months after this cliffhanger, her death is very much front and center when we rejoin the elite murder squad of DI David Bradford, DS Vivienne Cole, DC Rob Brady and trainee constable Billie Fitzgerald. And from the opening episode, it’s clear the once-close team is now a fractured foursome…
