‘Fortitude’ Returns For 3rd And Final Season
‘Fortitude‘ will be back later this year for a 3rd and final series Sky Atlantic has announced.
A 4-part mini-series, the third trip to Fortitude will feature returning key cast including Dennis Quaid (Far from Heaven), Richard Dormer (Game of Thrones), Sienna Guillory (Stan Lee’s Lucky Man), Luke Treadaway (A Street Cat Named Bob), Alexandra Moen (Strike Back), Mia Jexen (Happiness) and Bjorn Hlynur Haraldsson (Jar City), as well as some new faces to be announced at a later date.
This series picks up where the second finished with the death of Governor Munk hanging over the town. Two new police officers are in town from Oslo, sent to Fortitude to investigate the murder, and soon learn the inhabitants of the most staggeringly beautiful place on earth have a lot to overcome…
“I can’t wait to get back to this place. I love this world. A brilliant cast and crew,” commented Dormer. “Returning to Fortitude always feels like coming home. And my old friend Dan is waiting for me. And he’s just got this big grin on his face.”
1.4 million viewers tuned in to each episode of the second series last year, which was described as “wholly immersive” by The Observer and “stunning and brilliantly acted” by Empire. Not only a huge hit in the UK, Fortitude has also been enjoyed by millions around the world. Series 1 and 2 have been sold to more than 200 broadcasters internationally, making it Sky Vision’s best-selling programme.
“Fortitude has gripped my imagination like an icy blast to the heart,” adds creator Simon Donald. “It’s wonderful to be back for a last dance under the blizzard stars in the cold, dark night and find out who lives, who dies and who goes completely, barking arctic crazy…”
‘Fortitude‘ will return to Sky Atlantic later in 2018.
