Tim Roth will return as Jack Worth for a third and final series of Tin Star.
Season three, created by British writer Rowan Joffe, sees the Worth family travel back to the UK for new episodes set in and around Liverpool.
In series two Jack and Angela (Genevieve O’Reilly) were forced to break some devastating news to their daughter Anna (Abigail Lawrie), before the ‘ultimate threat’ landed on their doorstep.
Looking forward to Jack’s last hurrah, Joffe said: ‘A show creator and writer’s work is only as good as his team: and I am very grateful to have another chance to write for Tim Roth, Genevieve O’Reilly and Abigail Lawrie – and executive producer Alison Jackson.
‘An awe-inspiring roster of talent and a chance to deliver our best season yet.’
Cameron Roach, Director of Drama at Sky, added: ‘We are thrilled to announce a final season of Tin Star.
‘The combination of Rowan’s imagination and the central performances led by Tim Roth mark Tin Star as a standout example of British creativity.
‘Returning alongside our original series such as Britannia and Riviera, as well as forthcoming titles Catherine the Great, Little Birds and Gangs of London, we’re demonstrating our commitment to bring ambitious, local, stories with global appeal to Sky customers.’
The Sky Atlantic drama follows a former undercover policeman turned police chief in a small town in the Canadian Rockies, who must defend his family from those in power.
Tin Star season 3 kicks off production later this year.
