On X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday evening, one concerned fan asked Blethyn directly if Vera would be ending after Salt and Vinegar.

“Why are lots here saying this is the last #Vera?? Have I missed something??” the concerned user asked.

Setting the record straight, Blethyn reposted the query alongside her four-word answer: “It’s not the last.”

This was echoed by co-star Riley Jones, who plays DC Mark Edwards in the series, as he too shared a post about the future of Vera.

Also on X, Jones shared a snap behind the scenes with the caption: “Didn’t think you could get rid of us that easily did you?! #Vera. See you in 2025!”

Needless to say, the Vera fandom quickly flooded the posts with their excited reactions to the news.

Replying to Blethyn’s announcement, one fan penned: “Music to my ears, loving having David Leon back- a great team. X.”

A second added: “@ITV Oh thank goodness! Love Vera but we need many more episodes. Three isn’t nearly enough. We need at least 12. And they need to bring back Aiden. Missing him this series.”
