Brenda Blethyn has been spotted at a number of locations across the North East of England as she reprises her role as DCI Vera Stanhope for the upcoming 11th series of the ITV drama.

Broadcaster ITV has confirmed that Vera will return in the autumn of 2021 however an exact release date is yet to be given.
