As of late January 2026, Patience has not been officially renewed for Season 3. The production crew, PBS (US broadcaster), and Channel 4 (UK broadcaster) have not revealed plans to continue after the second season.
Current Status of the Series
The first season of the British crime drama Patience, which stars Ella Maisy Purvis as autistic criminologist Patience Evans, premiered on Channel 4 in January 2025. In June 2025, it was released on PBS in the United States. In May 2025, the show was revived for a second season, which increased from six to eight episodes and premiered on January 7, 2026.
Jessica Hynes took over as DI Frankie Monroe in Season 2, replacing Laura Fraser’s DI Bea Metcalf, who left the show because to schedule conflicts and a plot change. The new season deepened Patience’s psychological development, professional dynamics, and changing relationships while delving deeper into intricate criminal cases in York.
What Is Known About a Possible Season 3
Thus far, no announcement regarding a renewal has been made.
Only Season 2 of the series is listed in official sources including TV Insider, Wikipedia, Radio Times, Channel 4 news releases, and PBS updates.
Ella Maisy Purvis claimed in a January 2026 interview that she was unaware of preparations for a third season, pointing out that production choices are usually kept secret until they are finalized.
Online fan comments and social media conjecture do not represent official confirmation, despite the show’s great audience support and widespread reports that it is Channel 4’s biggest drama of 2025.
Overall Scenario
There is currently no indication that Season 3 of Patience will proceed, despite the fact that it is based on the popular French series Astrid et Raphaëlle, which offers enough of material for subsequent seasons.
Any updates would probably be provided by Channel 4 or the production company Eagle Eye Drama following the conclusion of the Season 2 run. In the interim, viewers can watch Season 2 on Channel 4 in the UK and wait for PBS to release in the US.
