Brenda Blethyn to Leave ‘Vera’ as Detective Show Announces Final Season: ‘I’m Sad to Be Saying Cheerio’
Brenda Blethyn has announced that she is departing the detective series "Vera" after its upcoming 14th season, which will also be its last.
“I’ll be forever grateful to the wonderful Ann Cleeves who created Vera, and to Elaine Collins who saw fit to cast me in the role. The producers, dream cast and crew have been fabulous and I’m going to miss them, but I won’t forget their huge talent, the camaraderie, laughter or kindness we shared nor the friendship of the people of the north east and our fans worldwide. Added Silverprint Pictures creative director Kate Bartlett, who has executive produced much of “Vera”: “It is the end of an era and has been an extraordinary journey over 14 amazing series of ‘Vera.’ So many wonderful and talented people have been involved in the making of ‘Vera’ across all the series, but none of us would be here without two incredible women: firstly, the absolutely extraordinary talent of the inimitable Brenda Blethyn.
