Gavin & Stacey's Alison Steadman and Rivals star Katherine Parkinson's returning BBC show Here We Go has received a big update.

The third season of the sitcom has just begun filming, with seven new episodes set for next year.

To mark the occasion, a photo featuring Steadman, Parkinson, creator and star Tom Basden, and fellow returning actors Jim Howick (Ghosts), Freya Parks (This Town), Jude Morgan-Collie (A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder), and Tori Allen-Martin (Unforgotten) has been released.

A synopsis has also been released, getting us up to speed on what our characters are going to be getting up to in the third run.

Parkinson's Rachel is starting her new life as a therapist, while Howick's Paul is now a police constable, although he's still got a ways to go before he earns the respect of his peers or his kids.

What to Read Next

Uncle Robin and aunt Cherry, played by Basden and Allen-Martin respectively, have their hands full now that baby Atlas has arrived, and Parks' Amy is still trying to figure out her way in life.

Grandma Sue, played by Steadman, has moved back in, while Morgan-Collie's Sam is still around causing mayhem and capturing it all on camera.

It's also been revealed that the family will go on holiday to Malta at one point in the season, and it will be as chaotic as you expect.

"I'm so thrilled to be reunited with our cast of comedy legends to bring another round of the Jessop's epic family misfortunes and everyday adventures back to BBC One," Basden said.

Meanwhile, filming for the latest Gavin & Stacey Christmas special featuring Steadman, set to be the show's last ever episode, recently wrapped.

Here We Go season 3 airs on BBC One next year, while seasons 1 and 2 can be streamed on iPlayer now.
