About Scott and Bailey

Scott and Bailey is ITV procedural from Suranne Jones idea with Lesley Sharp, following DC Janet Scott and DC Rachel Bailey under Gill Murray in Manchester MIT. Series one aired six episodes in 2011, series two eight in 2012, series three eight in 2013, series four eight in 2014, series five three features in 2016.

Work cases reset but partnerships, affairs, and promotions carry across years. Watch series one to five in order, since Rachel demotion and Janet divorce beats assume prior years to make sense for the close.

Good to know

There is no separate chronological order worth listing. The five series from 2011 to 2016 follow the Manchester MIT forward with Janet and Rachel together, so release order and story order are the same list. Series five features close the run and should come last after the earlier partnership years.
