Will there be a third series of Towers?
That! ITV has already confirmed that there will be a third series Tower is happening and is already in production. The third part will be adapted from Kate London’s third novel, Gallowstreet Lane.
Screenwriter Patrick Harbinson said in a statement: “Gallowstreet Lane has a high-stakes drug and gang story with Jimmy and Emmett’s characters taking the lead roles. Sarah and Lizzie also have exciting and heartbreaking stories, while the Portland Tower drama comes full circle.” I firmly believe that the third series will be our best yet.”
