Stephen Mangan shared the update on Twitter
The drama, created by Abi Morgan, focuses on a high-flying family of lawyers who have many difficult and emotional moments both in their professional and personal lives. Alongside Stephen and Nicola, other stars expected to return are Fiona Button, Annabel Scholey and Barry Atsma.
Fans were left on tenterhooks at the end of series two after Stephen's character, Nathan Stern, had come to learn that his wife Hannah (played by Nicola Walker) had been having an affair with a colleague.

The final moments saw Hannah crying on the stairs after discovering her husband had left the family home, leaving behind only his wedding ring in the hallway – so no doubt many will be wondering whether the two will reunite or move forward on different paths.
There's no word on when viewers can expect the episodes to air yet, however, with filming in the summer, it's likely it'll be towards the end of year or perhaps into early 2022.
