D.I. Viv Deering and her team from Friday Street station are set to return to our screens for a third season of No Offence, Channel 4’s Bafta-nominated police drama.

When is No Offence back on TV?
Filming in Manchester reportedly wrapped in March 2018, with the third series set to return to the small screen on Thursday 13th September at 9pm on Channel 4.
What’s going to happen in series 3?
Unconventional boss – and likely nudist – D.I. Viv Deering (Joanna Scanlan) will return alongside her Friday Street team, as the third series begins with the attempted assassination of a local politician by a new Far Right group. The attack has “devastating consequences” for the team, according to Channel 4.
“There’s no time for tears, though, as not only is the maniac still on the loose but the politicos are turning the situation to their advantage.
“Viv and Friday Street find themselves pawns in a political chess match, which is the last thing they need as incidents of hate crime soar in the city.”

Paul Abbott, the show’s creator and writer, compared the show to “chucking wicked humour at grim reality”.
“It’s a privilege to dive back into the very British chaos of Inspector Viv Deering and her No Offence police family,” he said. “I think we’ve struck a great deal with our audience. They expect nothing but the tilted best and we’re truly honoured to serve.
“Chucking wicked humour at grim reality is a great cocktail for digesting the real world and pretending to make sense of it. Sleeves up! We’re off again,” he added.
