BBC drama 'Time' to end after third series, says creator

The BBC drama "Time" will return for a third series on 11 October, but creator Jimmy McGovern has indicated it will likely be the show's final season. The new episodes star David Tennant as a custodial manager. The third series follows Tennant and Daniel Ryan as managers of a young offenders institution, with Siobhan Finneran returning as the prison chaplain. McGovern told The Radio Times he believes this will be the last time, though he noted he has said that before. The show debuted in 2021 to critical acclaim for its portrayal of UK prison life, with previous series starring Stephen Graham, Sean Bean, Jodie Whittaker, and Bella Ramsey. Episodes will air on BBC One and iPlayer throughout October.
