ITV confirms the future of Vera after lead actress Brenda Blethyn cast doubt on filming another series

Series 13 of Vera has ended with a touching scene between Vera and her sidekick Joe Ashworth, but will there be a series 14?

In the final episode of the current run, Brenda Blethyn’s beloved character DCI Stanhope investigated the death of a chip shop owner who was found dead in his own freezer. The episode – named the rather distasteful Salt and Vinegar – saw Vera uncover secrets, lies and some unforgivable behaviour from the victim, who on the surface seemed to be a successful entrepreneur and dedicated family man… (Credit: ITV/Stuart Wood) After much speculation, ITV has finally confirmed that Vera hasn’t hung up her iconic hat just yet.
