Filming on the third and final series of My Mad Fat Diary starts this week! The three new hour-long episodes are due to arrive on E4 Summer 2015.
Sharon Rooney (Rae) will be joined by the original cast plus there's a new addition to the gang; Faye Marsay (Seen in Glue and Fresh Meat), who'll play Katie Springer.
Here's a little peak at what to expect:
Rae Earl is boss. Drinking, dancing and dating the hottest guy in the North – Rae has life as a teenager nailed. However, change is on the horizon as the gang grows up. Chloe has ambitions to attend business school, Finn wants to settle down and the spectre of university applications looms large. A new friend for Rae also forces her to see everything differently. As Rae struggles to maintain the status quo, will she be left behind or embrace the biggest adventure yet?
Piers Wenger, Channel 4 Head of Drama said: 'My Mad Fat Diary has touched the hearts of the E4 audience and it is with both sadness and pride that we announce filming on the third and final series. But anyone expecting Rae Earl to go quietly will be sorely mistaken. We're delighted to welcome back Mad Fat's exceptional cast, led by Sharon Rooney, as Rae faces her greatest challenges yet.'
Sharon Rooney said: 'It has been a privilege to tell Rae's story. My Mad Fat Diary has been a huge part of my life and, although I am sad that this amazing rollercoaster ride is almost over, it's not over YET. We have more drama, more tears and more rude bits to bring you. The support of the E4 audience has been amazing, and I couldn't have done it without them. So, in the words of Rae, "LET'S DO THIS".'
