Will there be a series three of The Tower?
Yes! ITV has already confirmed that a third series of The Tower is happening and is already in production. The third instalment will be adapted from Kate London’s third novel, Gallowstreet Lane.
Screenwriter Patrick Harbinson said in a statement: “Gallowstreet Lane has a high-stakes drugs and gangs storyline with Jimmy and Emmett’s characters taking major roles. Sarah and Lizzie have gripping and heart-breaking stories too, as the drama of Portland Tower comes full circle. I firmly believe series three will be our best yet.”
