This time they're off to a remote Arctic research station.
Today, BBC One has announced that their hit drama Vigil will return for a third series, promising a brand new mystery. With Suranne Jones and Rose Leslie returning to play DCI Amy Silva and DI Kirsten Longacre.
Their new case takes them to a remote Arctic research station, where a member of a covert British special forces mission has been shot dead.
Amy and Kirsten will need to catch the killer and diffuse a potential international confrontation, driven by a land-grab for energy and resources in the changing polar climate, with both their careers and relationship on the line.
On returning to Vigil, Suranne Jones said "I can’t wait to return to Vigil series three, see our brilliant team in Scotland and work with Rose again. I’m sure it will be a thrill of a ride."
To which Rose Leslie added "I can’t wait to get stuck into another season of Vigil, to work with the wonderful Suranne Jones again and our brilliant crew. And this time, Kirsten will get to pack her bags and join Amy on what’s set to be Vigil’s most high-stakes mission yet!"
Made by World Productions, Vigil is written and created by Tom Edge, produced by Marcus Wilson with George Aza-Selinger as associate producer. The third series is due to start filming in Scotland later this year and will be executive produced by Jake Lushington for World Productions, Gaynor Holmes for the BBC, and Tom Edge.
Speaking ahead of series three, Tom Edge said "I'm delighted that Suranne and Rose are returning for a new adventure. In our third season we travel to the frozen north where the world's great powers are competing to secure advantages as the ice melts. With a brilliant cast and crew assembling to make the show, we hope to deliver an epic investigation that shines a light on issues that will shape the world we all live in."
To which Jake Lushington, executive producer for World Productions, said "World have been thrilled by the way such huge audiences have embraced Vigil's unique combination of murder mystery, action adventure and political thriller. And of course the magnetic chemistry that Suranne and Rose bring to DCI Silva and DI Longacre. We can't wait to bring you the next instalment set in the most extreme location yet visited."
And the BBC's Director of Drama, Lindsay Salt said "After the barnstorming success of Vigil series one and two, it's our pleasure to announce the return of Silva and Longacre for what promises to be their most adrenaline-fuelled mission yet. Tom Edge and the World Productions team have excelled themselves with a brand new mystery and setting which will give Vigil's millions of fans even more of the brilliant, blockbuster drama they've come to expect and love from this very special show."
