‘Vigil’ Renewed For Season 3 At BBC As Hit Thriller Heads To The Arctic Circle
deadline.comBBC smash Vigil is heading to the Arctic Circle. The hit Suranne Jones-starring show, which comes from the makers of Line of Duty, has been greenlit for a third season and will move to a research station in the Arctic where a member of a covert British special forces mission has been shot dead.
