Now in its third season, Vigil follows DCI Amy Silva (Jones) and DI Kirsten Longacre (Leslie) as they investigate a high-stakes murder case. Premiering in 2021, the first season was set aboard a British navy submarine in Scottish waters and the second followed the aftermath of a drone attack on a military base. The third season will take place in an equally exciting setting – an Arctic research station – with filming currently underway in Svalbard, Norway. Series one was nominated for Best Drama Series at the 2022 BAFTA Television Awards and went on to win the International Emmy for Best Drama Series, while season two was among the top three drama series for 2023. Writer Tom Edge says: “I'm grateful to the BBC and World Productions for backing the ambition of a story that takes Vigil to the Arctic.
