The BBC has released the first teaser trailer for the highly anticipated third series of ‘Vigil,’ offering viewers a glimpse at the next high-stakes investigation for DCI Amy Silva and DI Kirsten Longacre. The critically acclaimed thriller will return to BBC iPlayer and BBC One later this year.
Following previous missions that plunged audiences into the tense worlds of nuclear submarines and military drone warfare, Series 3 takes the action to one of the most dangerous and politically sensitive regions on Earth: the Arctic.
The newly released teaser hints at a chilling mystery unfolding at a remote Arctic research station, where a member of a covert British special forces mission has been shot dead under suspicious circumstances.
As the investigation unfolds, Amy Silva (Suranne Jones) and Kirsten Longacre (Rose Leslie) find themselves racing to uncover the truth before a volatile international incident spirals out of control.
With global powers competing for access to newly accessible energy reserves and resources in the rapidly changing polar climate, the pair must navigate a deadly web of political intrigue, military secrecy, and personal sacrifice.
Adding further pressure, both their professional futures and their relationship are placed firmly on the line as tensions escalate in the frozen wilderness.
Returning alongside Jones and Leslie are Gary Lewis as DS Robertson and Dominic Mafham as Sir Ian Dowing.

Q, Shetland), Naomi Yang (Under Salt Marsh, Wolfe), Benjamin Wainwright (Maigret, Belgravia: The Next Chapter), Tornike Gogrichiani (Extraction 2, Drops of God), Danusia Samal (Red Eye, The Great), Artur Zai Barrera (The Old Man, Lucky), Jordan Duvigneau (Mood, Stolen Girl), Kaisa Hammarlund (Hijack, Grace), Adam Fidusiewicz (FBI International, A Gentleman in Moscow), Eric Godon (In Bruges, Anna), Conor Berry (Karen Pirie, Schemers), Amy Manson (Rebus, Bodies), Jason Tobin (A Thousand Blows, The Ballad of a Small Player), Steven Cree (All of You, Heads of State), Killian Coyle (Shetland, Endeavour), Derek Riddell (Industry, Happy Valley), Alma Prelec (Secret Service, Fifteen Love), Dawn Sievewright (Undertow, Shetland) and Shereen Cutkelvin.
