It’s not all problem, nevertheless, as rumours of a possible spin-off series have actually been swirling around the web because the news broke. Can fans look forward to the program’s return? Here’s all we understand …
Could there be a Vera spin-off series?
Regretfully, there have actually been no main statements about a spin-off program. This does not imply it will not take place.
The recommendation of aVeraspin-off was initially made by Ibinabo Jack throughout an interview on BBC Breakfast following the statement of Brenda’s exit.

MORE VERA
While Ibinabo concurred in the beginning, stating “Brenda is Vera,” she then recommended a spin-off reveal about the titular investigator’s more youthful years.”Unless they did a prequel? Like early days,” stated the starlet.

Requiring to social networks, a single person penned: “They might constantly do a spin-off to Vera,Joe leading his own group for exampleconsisting of Kenny and Mark,” while another composed: “I believe I manifested @David_J_Leon back into the program btw, so possibly I can manifest a spin-off … ‘Ashworth’??”
What’s more, the bookmakers are currently backing a spin-off program, with Kenny Doughty, who plays DS Aiden Healy, the preferred to take control of.
Offered the star stepped down from his function on the program last year, we believe this circumstance is most likely the least most likely.
What would a Vera spin-off appear like?
With David Leon picking up for series 13, a spin-off with him as the lead is most likely the most likely alternative.
When we overtook DI Joe Ashworth in the most recent season, he was working for the College of Policing and went back to Northumberland & & City Police to supervise Vera and her group.

Maybe a spin-off series could follow Joe and his work at the College of Policing? If Vera chooses to resign at the end of series 14, it might leave the door open for Joe to take over as DCI.
It appears like fans will simply need to wait and see.
