Will there be a season 3 of Blood?

The first season was released to an excellent reception, hence season 2 being made swiftly after.

Dunbar will be a major draw for Line of Duty fans, and if the show's creators can keep him tied down, there's no reason a third season isn't a possibility.

Season 3 is yet to be confirmed, but if the second run of the show continues to build momentum, fans could be treated to more tense drama from West Meath.
