Last Tango in Halifax

This week on Last Tango in Halifax, Alan's brother is back for good, Gillian's cursed barn is at it again and Caroline's romantic hopes are dashed.

Last Tango in Halifax is finally back! After an almost three-year absence from our screens here in the U.S., the Buttershaws and their clan have returned as delightful and dysfunctional as ever. And while time may have passed, not that much has changed really.

Hands up - who is excited for the return of Last Tango in Halifax? Great! Now, who has gotten a little fuzzy on the details of the Buttershaw family’s shenanigans since we last saw them in Christmastime 2017? Well, never fear because we’ve put together a quick overview of the show to remind you of the key plot points of the series.

The long-awaited new season of heartwarming drama Last Tango in Halifax is finally coming to PBS stations this Fall.

Few of us probably ever truly believed this day would come, but here we are. The trailer for the return of heartwarming romance slash family drama Last Tango in Halifax is here. 

It’s literally been years since we last heard from the Buttershaws and their extended brood. So it was a pleasant surprise, to say the least, when reports started surfacing this week that Last Tango in Halifax’s hiatus is coming to an end. Reports which were then confirmed by the BBC's Director of Content.

Previously on the Last Tango in Halifax Christmas special, Caroline was changing jobs and moving to a new house with her mother, step-dad and youngest son in tow. No one seemed pleased about it. Robbie suffered a potentially fatal injury which convinced Gillian that her deceased ex-husband was haunting their barn. Last but not least, a local am-dram troupe flattered Celia by asking her to step into their production of Blithe Spirit. This snowballed into Celia recruiting Alan to join the cast when another member fell ill at the last minute.

In this second and final holiday episode, we learn more about Caroline’s motivation for taking on a new job at a challenging school. Gillian’s guilt finally gets the better of her and the Halifax Players face yet another set-back, but who will come to the rescue?

After a considerable Last Tango in Halifax hiatus, the Buttershaws and their kin have returned to U.S. airwaves just in time for the holidays.

As the Christmas special begins, we find that while life has moved on, no major shakeups have occurred…yet.  Let’s look at where we find the major characters almost two years on and the inevitable drama that awaits.

It’s hard to believe that over two years have passed since we were treated to a Last Tango in Halifax episode, but fear not!

Viewers are in for a brief but welcome respite from this particular televisual drought. The series is returning in the form of a two-part Christmas special on Sunday, December 17 and 24 at 8pm ET. Check your local PBS listings just to be safe.
