ITV’s Executive Producer Kate Adams has teased fans with a few details of what to expect from the new episodes, revealing: “We have some surprises in store for an audience in this third series!”
“You only have to walk down Oxford St today to know that Selfridges Department Store continued to be successful, but for its founder, Harry Selfridge, things were very different,” she adds. “His story was a rollercoaster ride that ended rather tragically.
“We pick up Series 3 in 1919, the point at which his life really begins to unravel.”
The show’s creators have not revealed when the new series will be screened. In the meantime, you can recap on all the action from the series two finale here.
