Monday, October 12, 2026 -BBC drama Time, starring David Tennant, could be approaching its final chapter as creator Jimmy McGovern hints that the upcoming third series may be the show’s last.
Speaking to Radio Times, McGovern said, “I think this will be the last time,” raising questions about the future of the gripping prison drama. However, he admitted that he has made similar predictions before, leaving a small possibility that more episodes could follow.
The new series, which premiered on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on 11 October 2026, sees Tennant play custodial manager Bobby Bailey at a young offenders’ institution. Siobhan Finneran also returns as prison chaplain Marie-Louise, while the story explores prison violence, troubled young inmates and the challenges facing the justice system.
The fresh setting and powerful performances put the spotlight on the human consequences of incarceration, giving viewers another intense drama to follow.
For fans, the big question now is whether Time will end after three series or whether McGovern has more stories to tell. His latest comments suggest that the show’s future remains uncertain, despite his belief that this could be the final instalment.
With the new episodes now arriving, viewers should watch closely as the drama unfolds, while the BBC’s next move will determine whether this acclaimed series gets another chapter.
