Quote:
Much-loved family drama The A Word will be back for a third series – and filming is just about to kick off in Manchester and the Lake District.
Christopher Eccleston returns to the cast as Maurice Scott, with Morven Christie as Joe’s mum Alison and Lee Ingleby as Joe’s dad Paul. Max Vento plays Joe, and Molly Wright plays his sister Rebecca. Also back for series three are Pooky Quesnel (Louise), Greg McHugh (Eddie), and Leon Harrop (Ralph).
New faces include Broadchurch’s Julie Hesmondhalgh, as well as Sarah Gordy and David Gyasi.
“Two years on and things have changed for our A Word family,” the BBC reveals. “Joe is 10 and living in two places at once, processing the seismic change in his life through the filter of his autism"
An air date has yet to be confirmed.
