Who will star in Marcella season three?

Are you looking forward to the show's return?
Speaking about her role, Anna told Digital Spy: "I’d like a crossover of two different programmes. I’d like Marcella to somehow meet Luther. The only time you see crossovers is in superhero movies. I’ve never seen shows where they amalgamate characters from show to show. That would be quite rewarding to fans. But it’s only in my head."
