Why is Vera ending?

Brenda Blethyn, who plays the titular character, announced she was departing the show earlier in 2024 and it was confirmed that series 14 would be the show’s last. She has since revealed that she is “semi-retired” and that she left the show to spend time with her family, The Northern Echo reports.

The star explained: “It was a lovely summer back in 2023. And I came to realise I hadn’t had a summer with my husband for 14 years.”
