It is a common convention in American English to refer back to a grammatically singular subject that denotes a group using the pronoun "they"—even within one sentence. Of course, any verb that follows the plural pronoun should agree with it in number. For example:

Sonata Arctica is a Finnish band, and they play power metal.

Thank you so much, ozzourti, for your helpful response.

So, would it be correct to use "it will return..." in a different variety of English, for example in BrE?

Not if the writer is referring to people.

No, not at all. A lot of BrE speakers would actually say, The couple have gone on a holiday. They will return next week, because they tend to view the word "couple" as a collective noun.
