Next week will mark the end of an era for ITV, all those involved with Vera, and the show's multitude of fans worldwide, as the beloved series, fronted by Brenda Blethyn, concludes after 14 years, with its final season premiering on Wednesday, January 1.
Those seeking another crime drama to fill the void left by Vera might want to check out ITV's latest crime series - North Shore.
While Vera has been a staple of British television, set in the North East since 2011, the new drama North Shore transports viewers to Sydney Harbour.
The show stars Joanne Froggatt, known for ITV's Angela Black, and follows a British-Australian detective partnership as they delve into a complex murder case with far-reaching political implications following the death of a UK politician's daughter in Australia.
