Will there be an Annika season 3?

Alongside Walker, other returning cast members in season 2 include Katie Leung as DC Blair Ferguson and Jamie Sives as DS Michael McAndrews, while there are also a number of newcomers.

Fans who've already watch the second season might be wondering whether there are further instalments on the cards.

Read on for everything you need to know about Annika season 3.

*WARNING – CONTAINS FULL SPOILERS FOR ANNIKA SEASON 2*

Will there be an Annika season 3?

At this point it hasn't yet been confirmed whether Annika will be returning for a third season, and neither cast nor crew have spoken about the show continuing.

Having said that, it also seems certain that the creatives been the show intend to return – why else would you write in that huge cliffhanger, which saw Annika's dad become the prime suspect in a murder case?

With the additional opportunity to explore so many more of the Glasgow Marine Homicide Unit's cases, and to return to Annika and Jake's relationship, there are so many reasons to be excited about more Annika. But are more episodes on the cards?

We'll keep this page updated as and when we get any further information regarding the future of Annika.

When could a potential Annika season 3 be released?

It's hard to say when Annika season 3 would debut. The second season arrived on Alibi two years after the first, but a 2025 release date seems unlikely given that there's been no word on the show's future.

The earliest we could expect to see a potential Annika season 3 would likely be in 2026.

We'll keep this page updated once we know any more about the release date for Annika season 3.

Annika cast - who would be back for season 3?

If Annika were to return for a third season then we'd expect almost all of the main cast from season 2 to return - including Nicola Walker as Annika, Jamie Sives as Michael, Katie Leung as Blair and Varada Sethu as Harper.

Katie Dickie, Silvie Furneaux and Paul McGann would all also be likely to return, while we'd expect Sven Henriksen to be back as Magnus to deal with the fallout from that cliffhanger.

The one star we wouldn't expect to be back is Ukweli Roach as DS Tyrone Clarke. Tyrone made his exit from the Glasgow team midway through season 2, and unless a surprise return is on the cards, it certainly seems as though the character won't be popping back up.

Here's a full list of the Annika cast we'd expect to return for season 3:

• Nicola Walker as DI Annika Strandhed
• Jamie Sives as DS Michael McAndrews
• Katie Leung as DC Blair Ferguson
• Varada Sethu as DC Harper Weston
• Kate Dickie as DCI Diane Oban
• Silvie Furneaux as Morgan Strandhed
• Paul McGann as Jake Strathearn
• Sven Henriksen as Magnus Strandhed
