The Series 3 finale of Happy Valley will air this evening (Sunday, February 5) on BBC One and some viewers might be wondering if there are plans for any more episodes once that is concluded.
Happy Valley returned in January after a seven-year gap between Series Two and Three and many fans are speculating how it will conclude.
The programme has followed Halifax Police Sergeant Catherine Cawood (played by Sarah Lancashire) as she dealt with some brutal crimes that have intertwined with a complicated past in her family.
Created by Sally Wainwright, Happy Valley has earnt many awards, including a BAFTA for Best Drama for Series One back in 2014.

Will there be another series of Happy Valley?
Sally Wainwright has been definitive in saying that Happy Valley would end with Series 3, having spoken with Sarah Lancashire about it.
Speaking to the Radio Times she said: "We made a definite decision that this was going to be the final season.
"Just because it’s been successful, we weren’t going to let it drift on until it became a pale shadow of itself."
Executive producer Will Johnston added: "It definitely isn't coming back – and again this is [from] Sally and Sarah who completely and rightly feel that you can have too much of a good thing."
"We're really not doing any more. You're a few weeks away from the ending but when you get to it, I really hope you'll feel content that if that's the last you ever see of the characters of Happy Valley, it was a big way to go out."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
