‘The Fall’ season 3, episode 2 preview: The power of the press

Tonight, “The Fall” is premiering its third season on BBC Two, but we certainly understand if there are a wide array of questions out there regarding what is coming up next! We’re here to do our best to try and answer some of them.

While Spector is still fighting for his life, there will be a lot of drama that swirls around him, in particular when it comes to the impact that the media starts to have on the case. Meanwhile, we will also see at the same time Gibson do what she can in order to ensure that despite whatever roadblocks are out there, the necessarily evidence is present to take him down. Take a look at the synopsis below for some additional insight:

“Gibson (Gillian Anderson) and Burns (John Lynch) are hauled over the coals by the Police Ombudsman and the Policing Executive for their conduct and handling of the case. When Spector’s name is released to the press as the arrested suspect in the Belfast Strangler case, his wife and family are forced to deal with the consequences.

“Katie (Aisling Franciosi), enraged at the media treatment of him, decides to take matters into her own hands. All the while Nurse Kiera Sheridan (Aisling Bea) and the medical team continue to fight to keep Spector (Jamie Dornan) alive. But even if he survives will he ever be fit enough to stand trial? And do Gibson and her team have enough evidence?”
