Here’s some good news: the main trio hasn’t ruled out returning. Martin Compston (Steve Arnott) has joked that he’s “ready” whenever Mercurio calls, while Vicky McClure (Kate Fleming) said she’d “never say no” to more. Adrian Dunbar (Ted Hastings) even compared the show to a family reunion—awkward at first, but deeply rewarding. That’s the vibe we need, right?
But schedules are a beast. Compston is starring in new projects, McClure has her own production company, and Dunbar is doing theater. Gathering them all again would be like herding cats—talented, well-paid cats with busy diaries. Still, if the script is killer, who could resist?
