Sharp Instinct III: The Final Chapter is on the way!
26.01.2026
Two years after the previous film released in Greenock to glowing reviews, the team are beginning production on the third and final chapter in Malcolm Lyons' saga!
The final installment will take the series on a grittier, darker, and more exciting path than ever before, without forgetting it's comedic routes. Malcolm Lyons returns in full form, with new allies, and new enemies. Terry Gallagher has been obsessing over the Malcolm Lyons case ever since Lyons disappeared 2 years earlier, an MP owes a drug-lord a load of money, crime is overrunning Greenock, and a missing person is bringing all these people together.
The film is expected to begin shooting in Q2 of 2026, with a Q1 2027 release scheduled. Callum McLelland will return as writer/director of the film, with Charles Marks joining as executive producer. The main cast will include stars new and old, with Joe Scott, Chris Reynolds, Mark Stinson, John Seggie, and Billy Burke reprising their roles and stars Jonathan Watson (Two Doors Down, Only an Excuse, Coldwater) and Mark Dallas (ICW, XWM) joining the main cast. Production will take place in Greenock and the West of Scotland from Clydeside Studios.
This is to be the final installment in the trilogy, and promises to be the biggest and boldest entry yet. This film will be unlike anything that has came before it. This will be the first Clydeside Studios production to be shot in UltraHD and at a wide aspect ratio.
We are beyond excited to get underway with shooting this production, and cannot wait to share the film with you open completion.
