THE BAY RETURNS FOR THIRD SERIES ON ITV IN 2022

Marsha Thomason (Cobra, White Collar) joins as DS Jenn Townsend, Morecambe’s new Family Liaison Officer for the third series of Tall Story Pictures hit six-part drama for ITV.

DS Townsend is immediately thrown in the deep end when a body is found in the Bay on her first day in the job.

She must get under the skin of a grieving and complicated family if she has any chance of solving the murder, whilst at the same time proving herself to new colleagues in the MIU.

The pressure is multiplied when her new blended family struggle to settle in Morecambe, proving to Jenn that a fresh start might not be quite as simple as moving to a different town.

Marsha joins series regulars, Daniel Ryan (Innocent, Home Fires), Erin Shanagher (Viewpoint, Peaky Blinders), Thomas Law (The Worlds End, A Cinderella Story) and Andrew Dowbiggin (Cobra, Coronation Street).

The series also sees guest cast Gary Lewis (Outlander, Rig45), Rina Mahoney (Eleventh Hour), Vincent Regan (300, Troy), Barry Sloane (Six, Revenge), Mark Stanley (White House Farm, Honour), Michael Karim (The Rook, Jekyll & Hyde), Zahra Ahmadi (Marcella, The Beast Must Die), Ash Tandon (Bodyguard, The Fantastic Flitcrofts), Nadeem Islam (See Hear) and Georgia Scholes (Hollyoaks) join the drama.
