Foyle's War will be back!

© ITV - Acorn Media
Michael Kitchen as Foyle
Michael Kitchen will be back in a new series of three two-hour episodes of Foyle's War on ITV1. Set during the early period after World War Two, Foyle will focus his attention on the world of espionage as he gathers secret intelligence in support of Britain's security, defence and the Government's foreign and economic policies. The stories will range from Foyle identifying highly placed atomic spies to a true story of government corruption. A world of transition where the values and certainties of the war have given way to austerity, exhaustion and doubts about the direction the new government is taking. In his new role as a Senior Intelligence Officer, Foyle discovers that the British establishment is rife with communist sympathisers and traitors. In this delicately balanced period in history, 1946-1947, Foyle will use all his intelligence, guile and intuition to keep the country safe.

    1. Indeed... Good characters, well constructed plots, and beautifully realized attention to period detail. Thought another season was too much to hope for... Thrilled to have been wrong!
