When is Ridley next on ITV?
Returning to our screens earlier in August, Ridley has been airing on Sunday nights for the past three weeks - including yesterday (August 24). However, ITV/ STV is mixing things up for the finale of season two.
Instead of having to wait until next Sunday (August 31), the fourth and final episode of the season is set to air tonight (August 25) to round-out the bank holiday weekend. It is set to start at the slightly later time of 9pm and will run until 11pm.
The preview for the episode, via Radio Times, reads: “The tranquillity of the serene village of Colden Vale is shattered when beloved wife and mother Tara Dunning mysteriously vanishes, with initial speculations lingering on the possibility she might have intentionally disappeared.
“However, a chilling discovery alters the course of the inquiry and suggests more sinister motivations and the stakes are raised after a second person goes missing and is found dead shortly afterwards.”
The full boxset of Ridley series 1 and 2 is available to watch on ITVX/ STV Player right now.
