As a movie connoisseur with a soft spot for gritty crime dramas and a penchant for character arcs that mirror real-life struggles, DI Ray season 2 has been nothing short of captivating. The complex web of intrigue, institutional racism, and personal trauma woven into the narrative is not only reminiscent of my own life experiences but also a testament to the power of storytelling in reflecting society’s challenges.
Contains major spoilers for DI Ray season 2.
In my humble opinion, as a movie enthusiast, I must confess that DI Ray faced an arduous journey during the premiere season of the gripping ITV crime drama, and it seemed as though the challenges only mounted in the subsequent season.
Apart from spearheading a highly intricate probe concerning the assassination of notorious felon Frank Chapman, she was simultaneously working towards exposing systemic racial bias within the department by taking down Beardsmore. Additionally, she was still grappling with the emotional aftermath of the incidents that transpired in season 1.
With the closing of the credits, the mystery had been unraveled, Beardsmore found himself out, and her private life began to improve.
In a similar vein as solving a puzzle, you can see that she’s focused on the outer aspects, everything seems to be in place, but the core or inner part is disorganized, which describes Ray’s emotional condition at the start of season 2, as stated by Maya Sondhi, the creator and writer.
Over time, as various events unfold with diverse individuals, and her mother plays a significant role in this, plus her developing bond with Patrick Baladi’s character (DI Patrick Holden) and Gemma Whelan’s character (DCI Kerry Henderson), it seems that the puzzle – though she may not be fully assembled by the end, more like a 1,000-piece one – she is making progress in figuring herself out.
But are more episodes on the way?
Read on for everything you need to know about a potential DI Ray season 3.
Is DI Ray returning for season 3?
When could a potential DI Ray season 3 air?
Following DI Ray’s debut in May 2022, we had to wait more than two years for season 2.
If season 3 is given the go-ahead, fans may not want to wait until 2026, but realistically, we might not see fresh episodes before fall 2025.
Who could return for a potential DI Ray season 3?
It wouldn’t be DI Ray without, well, Detective Inspector Rachita Ray, played by Parminder Nagra.
As for the rest of the cast, the following could all return:
- Gemma Whelan as DCI Kerry Henderson
- Sam Baker-Jones as DC Liam Payne
- Steve Oram as DS Clive Bottomley
- Peter Bankolé as DS Kwesi Edmund
- Witney White as DC Charlene Ellis
- Patrick Baladi as DI Patrick Holden
- Shobu Kapoor as Debo Ray
It’s yet to be determined whether Ian Puleston-Davies will reappear in the role of Ross Beardsmore following his suspension.
But it does feel like we’ve seen the last of Jamie Bamber as Martyn Hunter.
And there will also be a whole new guest cast if the drama does return to our screens.
What could happen in a potential DI Ray season 3?
For a rundown on what happened at the end of DI Ray season 2, we’ve got you covered.
Regarding season 3, Ray will encounter a fresh challenge in the form of an intriguing investigation. Moreover, the repercussions from her damning evidence against Beardsmore and the department are bound to stir controversy and bring about some turbulence.
However, just as Ray’s mom had cautioned before, institutions hold significant power. Will the former superintendent’s detainment and temporary removal from office truly bring about lasting, substantial change? Or will this situation merely follow the pattern of “wash, dry, and repeat”?
In her private affairs, Ray began romantically seeing Detective Inspector Patrick Holden, who joined her team to help solve the Frank Chapman murder case. However, whether this relationship will endure is yet to be determined.
Is there a trailer for a potential DI Ray season 3?
First up, we need that all-important renewal before we can enjoy a DI Ray season 3 trailer.
If it does get the green light, you can expect the trailer in the month leading up to the premiere.
DI Ray seasons 1-2 are available to stream now ITVX.
