THE PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL COLLIDE IN SEASON 6 OF VERA
“Not many actors can pull off shambolic and effective, but Blethyn can do it with a single, penetrating glance from beneath that hat." –The Guardian, February 1, 2016
VERA’s intricate plot twists, critically lauded performances and beautiful scenery have earned the show a reputation as an exquisitely crafted, classic crime drama. Based on the popular novels by Ann Cleeves, this compelling, character -driven British series has continually garnered high ratings since its U.S. premiere in 2012. Academy Award - nominee and BAFTA - winner, Brenda Blethyn has earned widespread acclaim for her star turn as Chief Inspector Vera Stanhope, a brilliant murder investigator and kind-hearted loner with workaholic tendencies. Season six of VERA presents four new installments, the third of which (“The Moth Catcher”) was adapted directly from an Ann Cleeves book.
In the season premiere, DCI Stanhope’s loses one of their own while investigating the death of a woman whose life was marred by drugs, secrets and strained family relationships. Despite being shaken by these events, Vera continues to take on new cases, including the mysterious death of a teenager with a troubled family history, a double murder at a remote country estate, and the death of a grieving widower in a small fishing community.
