UK crime series The Fall was renewed for a third season last week.

Gillian Anderson and Jamie Dornan will both return as Detective Superintendent Stella Gibson and serial killer Paul Spector, respectively.

Writer and director Allan Cubitt says: “We’d like to thank the BBC, Kim Shillinglaw, Ben Stephenson and Stephen Wright for showing such confidence in the drama we have created with Artists Studio. The cliffhanger ending of season two was conceived in the hope of further exploring the characters and the themes that are at the heart of The Fall. We’re grateful to be given this opportunity by the BBC.”

Ben Stephenson, Controller, BBC Drama, says: “The story is far from over. Allan has known the end game from the beginning – the cat and mouse game between Gillian and Jamie has one last act to play out. Who will win?”

The 5 part series will return to Belfast as the complex relationship between Detective Superintendent Stella Gibson and Paul Spector intensifies and the story of the investigation into the murders becomes more complex and intricate.

The Fall premieres in Australia on BBC First.

  1. Two seasons with Spector was more than enough. Agree that it might have been better to have had a different case for Gibson to tackle. Don’t think I’ll bother with S3.

  2. So that’s the ending of the second season ruined – would have prefered it to be left up to the viewers to decide whether he lived or died. Not convinced a third season will add anything to the series as a whole.

    1. To a point – he was compelling as the family man stalker/serial killer to begin with but his surly “one expression fits all scowl” wears a bit thin by season 2.
      He is very good looking though.

      Really enjoyed season 1 but this should not have been dragged out for a further 2 seasons.
      Should have used a new story arc for each season.

      1. I’ve only seen season one, which Jamie is really good in. Its worth a watch, Just saw Shades of Grey this week and found it boring as bat$%!t.

    1. There a rumours that Doran wasn’t contracted for the 2 & 3 films and they have different stories in mind for Anastasia. Though Doran’s agent denied this.

      I guess that answers the question of whether or not Spectre died, I thought he was dead and was wondering whether they would try another story with Stella in Belfast or not.
